The suspenseful crime detection theme of british dramas has produced many ceiling-level works, which make people want to collect, so that they can relive old dreams from time to time in the future.
For example, "The Great Detective Polo", "Miss Marple", "Inspector Morse Prequel", "Sherlock" and so on, are classic works that can be revisited once a year.
Today I would like to recommend "Bletchley Four".
▲ "Bletchley Four Season 1"
Lucy on the left, Susan on the left, Jean on the right, millie on the right
"Bletchley Four" and "Miss Marple", the protagonists are highly intelligent women, I have to say that after watching more sherlock Holmes, a big male detective, and then looking at the female detective, I feel more delicate and more humane.

Short and lean, stripped of cocoons
One of the biggest advantages of British dramas is that the plot is not watered, short and concise, and the content is full of dry goods. Unlike domestic dramas, there are more than 50 episodes at every turn, if the radio and television are not controlled, 100 episodes of British dramas are filmed in minutes.
The UK has the best work of mystery novels, so it has always been able to make a series of legendary detective stories, fascinating.
"The Bletchley Four" is also a fictional story, four women, all specially trained during World War II, each with professional skills.
Susan, good at guessing and reasoning.
Lucy, never forget.
Jean, leader of the quartet, worked in the library after the war.
Millie, map analysis expert, fashionable girl.
In the first season, there were only three episodes, three episodes a case, and the pace was very fast. After the war, susan, who became a housewife, is still so keen, through the news report on the disappearance of women, she herself deduced the pattern of serial murder, a head crash into this case Ofsan, did not expect that this serial killer is not simple, she herself obviously can not figure out the whole detection, so one by one to find the wartime colleagues, the foursome detection team officially began to operate.
In the second season, there were only four episodes, two episodes a case, and in the first two episodes, through one case, Susan, faded out of the foursome, with the new Alice. Alice is also a very good master of reasoning. The last two episodes are detective cases after Alice replaced Susan, and old fans are expected to miss susan who looks ordinary but is smart and determined.

Full screen Of British style, retro classic
In this setting in the post-war period, women's clothing is not the aristocratic beauty of Downton Abbey, but it is more everyday, and because of the classic style, the British style clothing in the play, even now, is synonymous with fashion.
Look at the picture below, the coats of the four heroines, each of which makes people want to have. Jean's is the style of a strong woman in the workplace, Susan's style is a housewife style, and Lucy and Millie's coats are more youthful and fashionable.
▲ In the second season, Lucy's coat is also very good-looking, or the color of rice apricot, which is very suitable for her.
▲ In the first season, Lucy's coat was a more feminine pink color that Millie prepared for her to solve the case.
▲ In the second season, Standing on the left are Alice's daughter and Alice, and their coats are also suitable for everyday wear. British women's winter must-have wool coats with skirts, legs are wearing stockings, think they can really resist the frost.
▲ In the second season, I like Milllie's blue coat, synonymous with gorgeous fashion.

Insert a knife into the ribs of a friend, and women can too
The friendship between the women is very warm, after Susan came to the door, the other three did not hesitate to take time to help solve the case, and finally Susan was almost caught and killed by the killer, and it was also the three girlfriends who arrived in time to rescue Susan.
In the second season, Millie, in order to help Alice in this case, got herself unemployed and had no regrets. Later, Millie got into big trouble in order to make a living, and Alice and they also tried to help solve the case.
So when Susan, who has his own family, leaves the UK, the four girlfriends who are still in London are all single, more suitable for solving cases together, and I look forward to more follow-up series. However, according to the shooting rhythm of the British drama, it is really difficult to give birth.
▲ Milllie, beautiful, fashionable, and chivalrous.
