Set in 1952, "The Bletchley Circle" tells of four women who have returned to normal lives after working at Bletchley Park -- the site where the Germans' infamous "enigma cypher" was broken by British mathematicians and code breakers during World War II. One of them, Susan, notices a pattern to the murders of several women -- which is in the news -- but no one one else seems to have noticed the pattern. She speaks with the police about it but is not very successful, so she enlists the help of her former friends and fellow cryptographers to investigate the cases.

Maureen Ryan HuffPost 04/14/2014
This unassuming show finds a way to turn many of its limitations into virtues, and it's not hard to end up thinking of the Bletchley women as very British badasses. Go to Full Review Sonia Saraiya AV Club 04/14/2014
B+
Though The Bletchley Circle is a mystery series, it's not a show to be watched for the riddles-at least, this season isn't. Instead, this is a season about re-examining the past with a feminine perspective. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 04/11/2014
Still fun on its own terms, the encore takes an unexpected little gem and transforms it into Murder, She (and She and She and She) Wrote. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 04/20/2014
C+
Instead of stroking suspense, the show starts and stops in fits, never finding a thrilling stride that unites the mysteries and deepens characterizations. Let's hope that Anna isn't on a permanent vacation. Go to Full Review J.M. Suarez PopMatters 04/16/2014
7/10
The mysteries [the characters] take on are often related to a personal relationship for at least one of the women, and in turn, it heightens the tension and the stakes for them all. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide 04/11/2014
It's like watching Nancy Drew grow up into Wonder Woman. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

dave b Dec 24 Almost as good as season 1. Not quite as riveting. See more 02/13/2019 Unlike seasons 1 3 episode story this is split into 2 x2 dramas. Much the same . The ladies using all the tools in their locker to rid England of bad dudes. Unfortunately arguably the main character is absent from the 2nd dose of 50s feel good but don't worry because her role is filled ( no spoilers here) . I can't see any reason for changing from season 1 4star mark See more 03/30/2015 A good follow-up to the pilot season. Too bad it didn't warrant another run for a very smartly-executed period series. See more 01/01/2015 First Season was excellent, the second season trailed off a bit and was almost a completely different show. Very well done, nonetheless. See more Read all reviews
