Women in Blue (Las Azules)

Bárbara Mori, Ximena Sariñana, Natalia Téllez and Amorita Rasgado star in Las Azules.

Apple TV+’s new Spanish-language crime drama, set in 1970s Mexico City, follows a quartet of trailblazing female police officers—María, Gabina, Ángeles, and Valentina—who chase a male serial killer while challenging the norms of a macho society. Based on the true story of the first Mexican policewomen patrol, Women in Blue (Las Azules) is a fresh, gripping tale set in a city—frankly, in a world—that is no stranger to femicide, a place where women are finally saved by women. —Carolina de Armas
