2 cataloguedYes, the direction and writing are uneven (it’s not until writer Silvia Jiménez’s seventh and eighth episodes that the characters finally start to get some human depth). But it’s also a thrilling and satisfying ride, combining predictable genre elements with surprising turns. I was jumping in my seat, staying up too late and enjoying “Women in Blue” quite a lot, despite its many imperfections.
Ok, maybe the writing is too on the nose and heavy on exposition but this show displays a grandiose technical level of production, fine acting, and an intriguing plot. A made-in-Mexico series unlike anything we have seen before.
In the end, “Women in Blue” succeeds not only because of its distinct characters and truly intriguing mystery, but also because it showcases how patriarchal ideals and misogyny harm not just women but society as a whole.
