Global stream: Apple TV Plus
Episodes: 10
There's a serial killer on the loose, the police can't (or won't) catch him and women are scared. An opportunity arises to join a female police force – a huge development in the male-dominated times – and four young recruits grab it with both hands. But is the force what it seems? Is the serial killer any closer to being caught? The answers, respectively, are 'no' and 'yes, but with no thanks to the authorities'.
Rather than striking a blow for sexual equality, the female police force, it turns out, is a media stunt to distract attention from abject failure of the hapless forces of law and order to resolve the situation. The women are issued with whistles rather than guns. So, our four new recruits, soon angry and frustrated, set out to catch the killer on their own terms.
Here's how to watch "Women in Blue" from anywhere, including details of the Apple TV Plus free trials you can take advantage of.
