7/10
Pleasant viewing, but hasty round-up of Season 1
26 February 2024
With its final episode, it just seemed that the creators were unsure if other season(s) would follow... Well, but delving into 19th century Turin was rather nice (although I am not familiar with the history that era), the cases seemed realistic and the performances far above mediocrity (Matilda De Angelis as Lidia Poët and Eduardo Scarpetta as Jacopo Barberis were most to my liking). The feminist ideas were out there, but they did not become annoying, no dominant men vs. Women clashes, as Miss Poët felt strong support from several males.

"Only" 7 points from me as I was more eager to see solving the case than personal attitudes and relations; however, it is a trend more evident in the crime series coming from other countries as well. If the characters are very peculiar and contrasting, it may even be a plus (particularly if the cases are not too sophisticated), but not in this Series. Nevertheless, I am pretty sure I will watch Season 2 as well.
