Inspiring!https://t.co/Yr97fYFX6b
I’m such a sucker for European-produced period dramas. The costumes, sets, decor. Fine production value that’s actually real. (Inspired by seeing just the teaser to The Law According to Lidia Poët, Netflix)

The new Netflix series is set in Turin in the late 1800s. A Turin Court of Appeal ruling declares Lidia Poet's admission to the bar illegal, preventing her from practising her profession simply because she is a woman. Destitute but proud, Lidia secures a job at her brother Enrico's law firm as she prepares an appeal to overturn the verdict.
The Law According to Lidia Poët is available on Netflix, you can watch it here.
