Not really everything I have watched, just what has stayed in my memory a bit more.
Season 2 of The Law According to Lidia Poët. An Italian show on Netflix about Italy’s first female lawyer in the 19th century. In real life she was barred from officially being a practicing lawyer, though she still worked as one in her brother’s legal office. In the show she also solves crimes with the reluctant help of her brother, and the more enthusiastic help of her brother in law. I find it a charming show, even if Lidia is a thoroughly modern woman in a 19th century world. The costumes are pretty good, though better in season 1. On the other hand I like the love interest of season 2 better. But the relationship I enjoy the most is the one between Lidia and her brother who constantly exasperate each other, but they still love each other and are always there to help. Though I can’t sew while watching this show as I need to read the subtitles.
Inspired by this I went on to re-watch Il Commissario Ricciardi, another Italian show. Set in the 1930s, Ricciardi solves crimes somewhat helped by the fact that he sees ghosts. I really like this show despite having a triangle drama, something that usually bores me. It’s saved here because both women who are in love with Ricciardi are so decent, as is he. The adorable introverted girl next door and the rich and famous opera singer are both really nice women, instead of the usual when one has to be a backstabbing bitch. The costumes are excellent too, and I really like the supporting cast. If you can find the show, I highly recommend it.
We finished season 2 of The Night Agent. From a slow start it got a lot better, though I found the hero with the troubled backstory pretty boring. But Rose is a lovely character and I also liked Noor enormously. Both season 1 and 2 have a lot of good female characters.
Also finished the last season of Father Brown, which was pretty boring. I know it isn’t meant to be a deep show in any way, but the original sidekicks were much better than the current ones. They had defined characters, while the current housekeeper is constantly changing to suit the plot. In one episode she is a talented ballroom dancer, in another a talented writer, and so on.
