There was a British TV show produced a couple of years ago called The Bletchley Circle which featured a group of women who had worked at Bletchley joining together again to solve crime in the 50s.

Unfortunately, despite fairly high production values, the writing wasn't very good and the show was a bit of a disappointment. There were two seasons but I didn't make it to the end of the first. It might have been better if they had made a more realistic show set during the war and focusing on these women's real experiences.




I found it rather tedious and un-climactic. A bit of a disappointment and a waste of time.


I thought it was quite an enjoyable drama. The first series was better than the second, but it was a murder mystery rather than an exposition of Bletchley Park.


Interesting, I liked it a lot. I especially liked the actress playing the lead role. I'm told the second season wasn't as good, but I'll probably watch it on Netflix like I did the first.

It would be nice to see a series set at Bletchley during the war that focused, as least in part, on the role of the women there.
