Las Azules

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.

I was expecting this tv series, wanted to see if Mexican talent + Apple resources would finally give us a decent crime show based on Mexico City. Sadly, my expectations were not met at all.

The storyline is not well written, the suspense is missing and the female main characters lack any real depth. It has the complexity of any regular crime series that you may watched but without really caring about the characters or the stories, just background noise you will forget the next day.

I may have watched it while doing other things, but the acting is quite regular, and the actress playing Valentina is terrible, all her facial gestures are over the top and annoying, like what you would see in the first classes of acting schools.

UPDATE: My first review (above) was based on two episodes; I watched five more due to friends' recommendation. It gets better in episode 4. The characters are better outlined, but in a predictable way: the empowered housewife, the annoying rebel "feminist" who doesn't know how to negotiate, the shy and insightful autist, and the naive but well-intentioned woman.

The actor Miguel Rodarte is great, and I also liked B. Mori's performance; N. Tellez and X. Sariñana also improved throughout the episodes but are still a bit cartoonish.

Watch it if you have the time and patience to spend more than three hours before it becomes exciting.

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.

"Women in Blue" is a show that pulls you in right from the start. The plot is intriguing, and the acting is solid, making it a series you'll want to keep watching. Each episode builds on the last, keeping you curious about what will happen next. The characters are well-developed and relatable, making it easy to connect with the story. The pacing is smooth, so it's easy to watch several episodes in a row without getting bored. If you enjoy crime dramas or just want something entertaining, "Women in Blue" is a great choice. The show's ability to keep you guessing while still delivering satisfying conclusions is a testament to its excellent writing and direction. It's not just the plot that's engaging; the cinematography and music also add a layer of richness (love the soundtrack).
