The Law According to Lidia Poët(2023)

Set in late 19th-century Turin, the show follows Lidia Poët as she pursues the right to practice law while simultaneously working cases that would benefit from exactly the legal mind the establishment refuses to recognize. Each episode delivers a contained mystery alongside that longer professional fight, so the procedural and the biographical pull in the same direction rather than competing for space.

The obstruction Lidia faces is bureaucratic rather than physical: registrars, professional bodies, and colleagues who treat the rules as permanent facts of nature. That specific friction gives the show its combative edge. She outmaneuvers rigid systems through argument and ingenuity, and the period detail of Turin grounds every courtroom-adjacent confrontation in something that feels lived-in rather than costumed.
