It is based on the real story of the first female police officers in Mexico: an intriguing and very authentic series
Fiction tells how a group of women were recruited to investigate a serial killer.
Among all the premieres coming to platforms this week, one of the standout series is Las Azules, a very intriguing fiction and a crime thriller inspired by the real story of the first female police officers in Mexico.
Created by the showrunner and director Fernando Rovzar alongside Pablo Aramendi, winners of an International Emmy Award, the fiction travels to the year 1971 to tell the story of four women who defy the ultraconservative norms of the time and join Mexico's first female police force.
However, although they thought they were going to be part of a historic milestone, the protagonists end up discovering that their squad is actually a publicity stunt to distract the media from the misdeeds of a brutal serial killer.
Pioneering Women
Tráiler | 'Las Azules'
In the setting of the series, women living in Mexico City are afraid to leave their homes. A serial killer is on the loose and the police, unable to stop him, decide to resort to a desperate measure: recruit women as agents.
Those interested who complete the training phase and necessary training are willing to catch the criminal, but soon realize that, instead of carrying weapons, they will carry purses. In reality, their task will be to call the male police officers from phone booths to ask for help and have them do the job.
However, four of these women will not settle for just standing by and, while facing the sexism of the time, strict family archetypes, and the stubborn mentality of the police chief, they will try to find the culprit.
They are María (Ariel Bárbara Mori), a middle-class housewife who wants to forge her own future; Gabina (Amorita Rasgado), whose father is a renowned policeman; Ángeles (Ximena Sariñana), a shy but very intelligent woman; and Valentina (Natalia Téllez), a rebellious young woman. And they will find a way to make their way thanks to themselves and allies who care little whether they are "a man, a woman, or a damn palm tree."
