Season 1

The Law According to Lidia Poët (La legge di Lidia Poët, 2023), Season 1 — six episodes of Italian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. The character is drawn from history: Lidia Poët was the first woman admitted to the Italian bar, in late 19th-century Turin, then promptly removed because the court couldn't tolerate the precedent.

Each episode is a standalone case built around the same fight. A ballerina turns up dead and her accused stalker's mother begs Lidia for help. An anarchist's murder charge hides a deeper political scandal. A seance at a wealthy man's party ends with his body on the floor; the obvious suspect has been locked in an asylum for years. One case pulls Lidia back to her childhood home, where a confession of patricide surfaces. A woman on trial — educated, scorned, underestimated — mirrors everything the system has tried to make Lidia. Six cases, one slowly tightening thread.

Matilda De Angelis plays Lidia with genuine wit, not just period-piece posturing. Stream The Law According to Lidia Poët Season 1 online on iFILM.
