6/10
A good pastime, nothing too spectacular
20 February 2023
Trying to summarize without spoilers: a light (but not exactly for children, contains nudity sex and dead bodies), fun, simple, silly and superficial fiction centered on a woman who existed in real life, Lidia Poet, born in 1855 and died in 1949. Lidia was an important milestone in the history of women's achievements over the last 100 to 150 years old, the first woman to graduate as a lawyer in Italy (in 1883), but who had her registration revoked from the list of lawyers just because she was a woman, thus provoking many discussions and a great movement that would open the doors for other women to ascend professionally in the country.

The series is not biographical, not least because there are not many detailed accounts of Lidia's real life, it just takes the basic context of the impeachment of her enrollment as a lawyer at a young age to tell small fictional stories of crime and mystery that she will solve every episode, kind of Enola Holmes style.

I would say that the biggest problem with the series lies in the naivety and superficiality of these little crime and mystery tales, they are extremely simple and silly, this prevents a higher rating for the show, but that does not mean that it is a bad product, it has some good stuff. The soundtrack, which I read some people here in the reviews complain about, is great, as well as almost all the actors are very good, especially the main actress. Another good thing about the series is the light and humorous tone of the scenes and dialogues in general, even having one or another moment a little more tense.

One detail that I found unnecessary was the forced nudity in some scenes, I didn't understand why. In fact, I have nothing against nudity in cinema or TV, but I think that in the case of this series this aspect is clearly forced to bring popular appeal, it doesn't fit with the rest.

Anyway, it's a simple and silly series of only 6 episodes, you won't miss much if you don't watch it, but it serves to pass the time in an uncompromising way.
