The Law According to Lidia Poët (Seasons 1–3)

The Law According to Lidia Poët (La legge di Lidia Poët, 2023) is an Italian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Turin, the 1880s. A qualified young lawyer is struck from the bar register for one reason: she is a woman.

Matilda De Angelis plays Lidia. While her brother, a working attorney, pushes to overturn the ruling, she refuses to wait around. She investigates tangled murders, reads a crime scene faster than the police, and keeps proving she knows the law better than the men blocking her from practising it. Every case she cracks becomes another argument for her right to wear the robe. Her private life complicates things too, between an affair with a journalist and a prickly bond with her sister-in-law.

The series draws on the real Lidia Poët, the first woman admitted to the bar in Italy. Director Matteo Rovere shoots it as a handsome period whodunit where Piedmont's costumes and salons feed the mystery rather than just dress the frame. It moves quickly, one fresh case per episode stacked over a running thread of hard-won emancipation. Stream The Law According to Lidia Poët (2023) online on iFILM.
