Das Gesetz nach Lidia Poët

Enjoyable stories although reasonably simple in design (which makes it easy to follow and watch), good acting, stylish locations, excellent lighting, rich and colourful quality costumes, and beautiful lead actress. Dubbing in English is also quite good.

I was hooked from the 1st episode and enjoyed the scenario of a woman battling against the male prejudice in the legal profession within a period setting. All the men underestimate her and are challenged by her education and ideas. As a man myself I think it is great to watch her succeeding and overcoming the challenges. I do hope that they decide to make more series going forwards.

The main character is destitute but wears the most visually intoxicating Italian influenced outfits, she is sexually active but not worried about pregnancy, in pre-birth control Italy. The opportunity to expose 'breastage' is always taken, adding mixed aura to a supposed interest in women's rights....and there are other liberties taken: Accept these items and it is a fun series. The aesthetics of 19th century Italy are very pleasurable part of the show.

The main character is determined for sure, and caged in the categories which caged women of the time - there is a way in which uncaged women (prostitutes and other) are rather immediately protrayed as good and the women who follow the categories of the time are presented as bad, that seems simplistic. This adds a comic book feel to the series: Again once accepted, the series remains enjoyable. Comic book is an very viable art form so this is not necessarily bad.

The objectification of women, despite the series clear commitment to their liberty, seems confusing. But of course as a gratuitous pleasure device it works- as we are of course very used to this device culturally.

I feel the show however does have its most merit as it penetrates into the continued door closing performed by dominant cultural mechanisms, which forces the heroine's side navigations - the intricate undercover journey to address issues with some effect and integrity. That feels accurate to my experience with dominant culture as it manifest with its continued, even comical support of mechanisms for sidelining needed offerings. This study of cultural sidelining, seems like, the most worthy and authentic exploration of the show.

Honestly, I am three episodes in and I already applaud the brilliant work done on this series. I absolutely adore the cinematography, the music, the cast, and the atmosphere of the late 1800s created here. The costume are on so on point that I cannot miss a chance to praise how beautiful they are. I should also note that they could not have chosen a better actress for the lead role. I think that she is not only stunning, but she also got incredible acting chops. As for the other two lead actors, they play their respective roles to perfection. One can only root for them as they all take part in investigating the multiple cases being presented. It is a show that reminds me a lot of "A Private Affair" with Aura Garrido and Jean Reno. The only difference is that instead of being serialized, this is a procedural. This format may not be suitable for everyone, but once you get the hang of it, these very inspired stories and cases are an absolute blast to watch for fans of this genre. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys investigation series accompanied by a great cast, and impecable writing.

Great period piece depicting the s**t women had to put up with then. In almost every one of her scenes, she had a different dress, and they were all beautiful. Kudos to the costume designer. I like their keeping with the authentic and historical production too. The typewriter, the lamps used in the homes, in the street and when using the lamps in searching for clues. Although I usually don't like dark scenes, the director kept it dark and real. Some movies have the scenes suddenly brighten up when a little candle is lit! I hope to see a sequel with Lidia and look forward to netflix producing it very soon.

I really liked this brief 1st season, finding the production values, cinematography and acting to be first rate all around. I loved the character of Lidia Poet and her portrayal by. Matilda De Angelis. I was constantly charmed by her, finding her strong but vulnerable as well.

This is obviously a jazzed up version of the real life of Lidia Poet, but it is most entertaining. It is quite lush and not for the realistic reenactment crowd. The soundtrack is quite varied, from classical to new agey to downright punkish.

My main objection to this series is that each episode (40-45 mins.) is a complete case in itself. Because of this, the crimes are solved rather quickly and, it appears, very unrealistically. This would have been a much better series if the cases went over 2 episodes, as they do in Vienna Blood.
