The Bletchley Circle

CriticsCritics: 79
AudienceAudience: 8.0

In post-war Britain, four women who once used exceptional code-breaking skills during World War II return to ordinary lives. When one notices a hidden pattern connected to an unsolved murder, she reunites the former team to investigate, facing police skepticism, social expectations, and mounting danger.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you prefer character-led British period mysteries with intelligent investigators and social tension; Not for you if you need intricate clues, consistently twisting plots, or fast-paced action like Luther.
