The Bletchley Circle follows the journey of four ordinary women with extraordinary skills that helped to end World War II. Set in 1952, Susan, Millie, Lucy and Jean have returned to their normal lives, modestly setting aside the part they played in producing crucial intelligence, which helped the Allies to victory and shortened the war. When Susan discovers a hidden code behind an unsolved murder she is met by skepticism from the police. She quickly realises she can only begin to crack the murders and bring the culprit to justice with her former friends. The Bletchley Circle paints a vivid portrait of post-war Britain in this fictional tale of unsung heroes.

User Reviews

Nice blend of historical fact with fictional murders.

Well thought out murder mysteries. I absolutely love the characters, they're all wonderful, strong women in their own way.

It was quite entertaining, not great, but good

Clara Irving-Mayes

I loved this show, it was so cool to see women fighting crime with their immense skill and intelligence. And the fashion is on point.

The first series was brilliant and something of a novel premise. Great acting well-written, as you won't guess whodunit until they do!

intelligent female characters and interesting storyline

Andrew Conkling

Good ensemble show. Love to see stories of women breaking the mold.

Rick Anthony McArthur

Pretty decent period drama from a women's perspective into wartime spy craft! Think I only saw one season, hope there'll be more?

Nice investigation show.
