"The blues" are facing crime and sexism

The second season of 'Las Azules,' a Mexican television series depicting the first all-female police force in Mexico City five decades ago, will feature its protagonists confronting a serial killer who targets law enforcement. The show explores themes of gender inequality and systemic machismo within the police force, as the female characters challenge the status quo and uncover corruption. The series, created by Lemon Films and Fernando Rovzar, is set to premiere on Apple TV in August. Actress Amorita Rasgado portrays Gabina, a woman from a family of male police officers who faces discrimination in pursuing a career in policing. The show highlights both personal and institutional challenges faced by women in law enforcement, drawing attention to progress made since the establishment of the first female police unit in 1971.
