The True Story Behind ‘The Law According to Lidia Poët’

With Matilda De Angelis donning the robe of Italy's first modern female lawyer, Netflix's The Law According to Lidia Poët follows the footsteps of its titular protagonist as she works her way out in a male-dominated Turin in the year 1883. In a six-episode-long Sherlock Holmes-esque procedural, Lidia Poët tries her hand at solving different crimes while navigating her way against a system that bars women from practicing law. While the Netflix series makes for a gripping detective-style period drama, the true story that inspired The Law According to Lidia Poët is one for the ages.
