Las Azules

This deserves way more viewership and a much higher rating . You do have to be willing to overlook a few plot holes and things that are not explained to a satisfactory level - but overall it's very quality . Great storyline , great casting , amazing writing , good chemistry between characters and it keeps you drawn in .

The "based on a true story " is taking that statement almost to a breaking point . But "based on true social issues " is really the way it presents . Each character really helps us see different struggles of women all over the world but specifically in CDMX in the 70s. Each woman was relatable and likable . This to me was the highlight of season one - viewing the struggles and triumphs of a group of women fighting for each other and with each other - the background was trying to catch a serial killer .

I love the line in the last episode " they would rather applaud a murderer than a woman "- powerful stuff .

The back story that drives the main plot is well done and a good crime show . Nothing amazing but enough to keep it moving and keep you guessing .

Absolutely would recommend.

The characters in this show are wonderfully written and acted. I really hope they develop a second (and maybe more!?) season so these beautiful characters can continue to evolve. It's fascinating how these women in the show are able to work around the rules of the time to still do their jobs as detectives when social norms at the time did not accept women in these types of roles of employment. The show gives newer generation a look at what it was like for women to enter the work force when society, and even a lot of families/men, wanted to keep women at home tending house and raising children.

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.

"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 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.
