Set in Turin in the 1880's (I think) this classy series is based on the real life Lidia Poet, the first female Italian lawyer (1855 - 1949). Whether the storylines are true I don't know (I've not checked), what I do know is this is a very entertaining series. What helps a lot is the modern rock music that plays in the background, it's certainly different.
Matilda De Angelis is excellent as Lidia and she certainly holds her own in all scenes she's in. The rest of the cast are also brilliant, especially Pierluigi Pasino as Lidia's brother Enrico, which could be an unsympathetic role, but he makes the character more likeable and warm.
The stories are good too in a formula which has perhaps been played to death recently. In all a very enjoyable bingeworthy series.
