The feminist gem that has conquered Netflix

Streaming platforms constantly compete to claim the top spot, but Netflix rarely lets go of its leadership. The VOD service continues to captivate audiences with increasing strength, and a significant part of its success lies in the hidden gems that emerge week after week.

The latest of these hidden gems is “The Law According to Lidia Poët”, an Italian series consisting of just eight episodes that premiered last February. Since its release, it has managed to captivate audiences from around the world, positioning itself as one of the most-watched series on Netflix. But what makes this European drama so special?

A series that grips you from beginning to end

“The Law According to Lidia Poët” tells the story of its titular character. Determined to overturn the ruling of the Turin Court of Appeals that prohibits her from practicing law, Lidia Poët becomes Italy’s first female lawyer. Battling against all prejudices and working from her brother Enrico’s law firm, she manages to challenge an entire nation.

With its feminist themes, engaging storyline, and set against the beautiful backdrop of 19th century Italy, “The Law According to Lidia Poët” is a perfect series for a binge-watch. There’s no better plan than a Netflix & Chill session while diving into this drama, which, like many others, has captivated audiences despite not receiving extensive promotion from the platform.

Matilda De Angelis takes the lead in this series alongside top-tier actors from the country, such as Eduardo Scarpetta, Pier Luigi Pasino, Sinéad Thornhill, Sara Lazzaro, Dario Aita, Francesco Patanè, Luca Filippi, Marit Nisse, and Matilde Vigna.
