"Women in Blue" is a show that pulls you in right from the start. The plot is intriguing, and the acting is solid, making it a series you'll want to keep watching. Each episode builds on the last, keeping you curious about what will happen next. The characters are well-developed and relatable, making it easy to connect with the story. The pacing is smooth, so it's easy to watch several episodes in a row without getting bored. If you enjoy crime dramas or just want something entertaining, "Women in Blue" is a great choice. The show's ability to keep you guessing while still delivering satisfying conclusions is a testament to its excellent writing and direction. It's not just the plot that's engaging; the cinematography and music also add a layer of richness (love the soundtrack).
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.

When you want to please 80% of the people, you loose 80% of the substance that makes a great piece, the special sauce gets watered down. A special story bawd on true events, 1970s Mexico, police with all the ugly attributes.
If this show would have focused on the case, it would have been a great thriller. Even with all the emphasis on inequality.
Conversely, if they'd kept more soap opera, be great at that. I got to give it to the creators, they've managed to keep it mediocre enough to cover a lot of ground. Bravo. Another streaming success. Could have been great.
Most important highlight is the cast, amazing. Great performances, really enjoyed it.

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.

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.
