I'm usually not impressed with costuming in a show, but the hats and clothing they have Matilda wearing is unbelievably beautiful. The stories are pretty simple and dialogue dubbed, but overall it is a well produced show. Very cool music that doesn't fit the era, but helps the show be more current. Also impressed with Matilda's lead in such a feisty role fighting to be the first female attorney in Italy. Excellent job on her part and hopefully producers will continue the series and see the role fulfill the dream. Also although dubbed in English and of course recognizable, the voiceovers are pretty good.
A very very enjoyable series only 2 episodes in and impressed ! Besides being a thinking. Feeling work of art, it injects slight comic, undertones that you actually feel tickled , and giggle , even when you know how important the case is . The leading lady is a superb actress , the costume design for her just brings out her role although where in that period she could have found such fashion , all of that only brings you back to HER and just how good of an actress she is. It's like a law and order of the period. So wished she could have more allies to trust and were in a place of power not that she needs the help. This IS good , very good , I'm already hoping that someone sees a second season ,
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.

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.
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.
