Women in Blue

I enjoyed this show. Great writing and acting. The cast is great, I was hooked after the first episode.

Barbara Mori is great, have seen her in other shows and movies and she does a great job in this one.

The actress who plays Gabina is great too. You really end up caring for the characters and the struggles they go through in a male dominated career.

The actress who plays Valentina is great too. Fiery and does a great job on the show.

I am picky with what I watch, so many bad shows on tv and my wife and I struggle to find something to watch together but this show won us over.

It's great to see latinas/latinos getting opportunities in front od the camera. Great job Apple tv.

"Las Azules" is a show that deeply resonated with me, prompting much reflection from the very first episode. I felt an immediate sense of connection and welcome, largely due to the series' authenticity and its groundbreaking portrayal of women entering the police force in Mexico City. The show offers a realistic and captivating depiction of the unique challenges and experiences faced by women in this field

The series stands out for its innovative approach to storytelling, incorporating feminine perspectives and issues that are often overlooked in mainstream media. The attention to detail in depicting the nuances of female experiences adds a layer of depth that enriches the narrative. Seeing these authentic and sometimes difficult aspects of women's lives represented on screen is both refreshing and enlightening. "Las Azules" offers a unique and insightful perspective on our world, making it a significant contribution to both television and the broader conversation about life, gender roles, and representation. I'm genuinely pleased that the show addresses these special details with such sensitivity and depth.

"The Blues" (original title: "Las Azules") is an authentic time machine, perfectly capturing Mexico in the 1970s. This is not only achieved through its visual adaptation but also through its faithful representation of the idiosyncrasies of that era.

I can understand how this portrayal might disturb some viewers; however, I can attest to its accuracy, having grown up in Mexico City during the 1970s. The depiction of a misogynistic society and the corruption of official institutions may provoke discomfort, making some question whether things were truly that bad and corrupt. This show reminded me: yes, they were, but with the important note that times have changed, or at least we aspire them to be different now.

The storyline is engaging, and the slower moments serve to deepen character development, making us care about their inevitable fate-presented with a hint of optimism, by the way.

I highly recommend this show, provided you're willing to acknowledge that what was considered "normal" back then no longer is. But isn't that what societal evolution is all about?

Shogun is definitely the best series I have seen this year... objectively speaking, but Las Azules is putting me to the test... and it's doing so in a big way. I just love this series! It completely caught me by surprise.

The first two episodes are more of a comedy, somewhat in the spirit of Police Academy. In the 1970s, a serial killer is on the loose in Mexico City, hunting women. And to improve the image of the authorities and law enforcement, for the first time in history, women are allowed to join the police. And that's how we meet the four protagonists. They are all completely different (even though two are sisters), but they are united by their desire to catch the killer. Of course, no one takes them seriously at first, and those first two episodes are mostly about making fun of women in the police force by ultra-conservative old-timers. But it turns out that their detective skills and determination quickly lead our heroines to new clues.

Here, I have to say that the investigation and serial killer plot is almost on the level of Mindhunter. I really think so, as the layers of the story are revealed brilliantly, and most importantly, it makes sense and feels like something that truly happened (the series is inspired by real events). With each episode, the atmosphere thickens and becomes more serious. The personal storylines are also very well developed. Not only are the main characters multidimensional, but even the dull policemen guys are well-written. They're not black-and-white either; they also struggle with the pressures of working in the police force.

All in all it was a fantastic first season. This show deserves to be more popular.

I absolutely loved this show. I had no idea what to expect when I started watching and the first two episodes were a bit scattershot, but after that I would say Women In Blue is pretty much perfect.

On top of being a great story with drama, tension, humour, passion, etc., the production values are simply outstanding. The re-creation of the early 1970s is so well done - from the cinematography and music to the costuming and the entire look of the series.

Honestly, I can't find one thing to fault about this series, other than the fact that it's on Apple TV+ and will be totally ignored by most of the tv audience around the world. Like so many of the shows that I love on Apple, very few people will ever discover this amazing, entertaining, immaculate piece of television perfection. I give this a 9.8.

BTW - The last episode is set up perfectly for another season, so PLEASE, Apple TV+, give us more of Women in Blue.
