What to Expect

PremiereLens read

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.

Grace

ITVX • Mar 29 • 2021
DramaCrime

Dead Simple, opens with Grace running inquiries into long forgotten cold cases with little or no prospect of success. He's fixated by the disappearance of his wife, Sandy, which haunts his thoughts. His unorthodox police methods have come under scrutiny once again, and Grace is walking a career tightrope and risks being moved from the job he loves most. With so much at stake, his colleague Detective Sergeant Glenn Branson knows he has more to give and asks him for help with a case. When a stag night prank appears to go wrong and the groom goes missing, Branson calls on Grace to unravel events that led to the mysterious disappearance of a successful property developer with everything to live for. Is this a case of stag night shenanigans gone wrong or something more sinister?

Why This Pick

Grace delivers the same slow, pressure-cooker crime work where institutions resist unorthodox methods and personal obsession keeps bleeding into the job. The detective’s missing-wife fixation shapes how he chases cold cases, echoing The Law According to Lidia Poët’s fight against exclusion, but the tone is colder and more solitary than Lidia’s combative, courtroom-facing momentum.

DramaCrime

It follows the victims of a serial rapist as they fight to get their cases heard after police failures set him free. Eight years after his conviction, they fight again to keep him imprisoned.

Why This Pick

Believe Me matches The Law According to Lidia Poët’s focus on justice getting stalled by bureaucracy, with tension built from legal obstruction and survivor persistence. Instead of courtroom battles for a license, it centers on accountability after the crime, where the fight stretches across years and feels harder-won, more collective, and less period-procedural.
