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.

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.
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.

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.
