Review: The Bletchley Circle


This British telly show depicts 4 women post WW II who were cryptographers and code breakers during the war. A death fiend is on loose in London and the inept coppers are out-witted by the murderer every step of the way. 

Thank heavens for these Mensa-brained dames who studies the assailant's patterns to track him down before more victims rack up. The only problem is, they are vulnerable and nobody believes them because they are just uhm.. women? nah...

Love the feel of it, love the costumes, the acting, lacks a bit of that British humor though, but the concept rivets me like I haven't been in a long time. 

If you are not intelligent like me, watch this, it will make you one.
