NETFLIX SERIES TRAILER FOR
THE LAW ACCORDING TO LIDIA POET HISTORICAL TV SERIES
Lidia Poet arrives February 15th |
THE STORY
Turin, late 1800s. A ruling by the Court of Appeal of Turin declares
Lidia Poët's enrollment in the register of lawyers illegitimate, thus
preventing her from practicing the profession because she is a woman.
Penniless but full of pride, Lidia finds a job at her brother Enrico's
law firm, while she prepares the appeal to overturn the Court's conclusions. Through a gaze that goes beyond her time, Lidia assists the
suspects by seeking the truth behind appearances and prejudices. Jacopo
(Eduardo Scarpetta), a mysterious journalist and Lidia's
brother-in-law, passes her information and guides her into the hidden
worlds of a magniloquent Turin. The series reinterprets the true story
of Lidia Poët, the first lawyer in Italy, in a light procedural key. Pier Luigi Pasino is Enrico Poët, brother of Lidia, while Sara Lazzaro and Sinéad Thornhill are respectively Teresa Barberis, wife of Enrico, and Marianna Poët, their daughter.
A pioneer and very inspiring woman.
ReplyDeleteCatch it on Netflix next month!
DeleteI doubt this would be something I would like. I'm sure others would though.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure some will.
DeleteI'm glad they "reinterpret"her story otherwise it would be very dull. The first women lawyers and doctors wrre rather prim spinsters totally devoted to their struggling careeers
ReplyDeleteAnd yet this one seems to have forensic capabilities as well LOL Anything to make the reality prettier even if they change it unrecognizably.
DeleteNot my cuppa probably, but it does seem like it’s one my niece will enjoy. I’ll spread the word.
ReplyDeleteThe costumes at least seem nice.
DeleteIndeed, they do!
DeleteNice attention to details, although real Lidia looked kinda like a butch lesbian LOL
