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.

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.

The show maybe inspired by a true story but don't go looking for a factual period piece. Instead, its an enjoyable show about a woman who is intelligent, knows what she wants, and refuses to be put in a box by anyone.
Along with her strong moments of proving herself on the show its also endearing to watch her navigate in a man's world that constantly tries to control her and often fails.
I like the lead actress - she brings the right amount of spunk and softness to her role. This is a light show with interesting cases but nothing too intense.
Overall its a fun watch and definitely worth another season.

... this series is as good and popular as it is because of its star Matilda DeAngelis... she's really something very special.. in addition to being quite beautiful, she's able to capture the camera's attention, making whatever production she's a part that much better and more interesting
... outside of her work the show is fairly ordinary, none of the episode storylines hold much interest other than just showcasing her part in them... and yes, whoever is responsible for her wardrobe deserves praise, all of her attire throughout the entire first season is quite noteworthy
... it's to be seen if they stick to keeping her from leaving the country, as the real life Lidia never did... either way, most of those who enjoyed the first season look forward to the second wither she stays or travels abroad.
