Exciting news for fans of Italian Netflix series! The highly acclaimed show, The Law According to Lidia Poet, has finally returned for its highly anticipated second season. This series, created by Guido Iuculano and Davide Orsini, follows the life of Lidia Poët, the first modern female lawyer in Italy.
Starring the talented Matilda De Angelis, known for her roles in Italian Race, Rose Island, and The Undoing alongside Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, the first season of the show was released on Netflix last year and has already earned a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Set in 1883, the series begins with a groundbreaking court ruling in Turin that declares Lidia's enrollment in the albo degli avvocati (registry of lawyers) as illegal, resulting in her disbarment. Undeterred, Lidia takes a job at her brother's law firm while also preparing to appeal the court's decision. As she delves into her investigations, she uncovers a series of murders, adding to the intrigue of the show.
Fans of the series have been raving about it, with one fan calling it "one of the most entertaining series based on a true story" they have ever seen. Another praised the show, saying it was "absolutely gorgeous" and that they were sad to see it end after only six episodes.
After a long wait, the second season has finally arrived on Netflix, much to the delight of viewers. The official synopsis teases even more thrilling cases and battles for Lidia to conquer, with the help of her brother Enrico, the charming prosecutor Fourneau, and the brave Jacopo.
The series is set in a time when Italy was still a relatively new nation-state, ruled by King Victor Emmanuel II. Women had only been granted full suffrage 62 years later, and female students were only allowed to attend university a decade before the events in the show. Lidia's groundbreaking role as the first woman lawyer in Italy was met with fierce public debate, and even though she was eventually disbarred, she continued to work in her brother's law office. However, she was not allowed to sign letters or plead in court, so she relied on her male colleagues for these tasks.
Despite facing numerous challenges, Lidia never gave up on her fight for women's rights and gender equality. Her dedication and hard work paid off when, at the age of 64, she was finally allowed to practice law again. She continued her work until the age of 93, witnessing the historic moment when Italian women were granted the right to vote for the first time after World War II ended in 1946.
The Law According to Lidia Poet is now available for streaming on Netflix, so be sure to catch up on all the thrilling episodes.
