Apple TV ‘Women in Blue’ Season 2 Episode 4 Review - Will We Get An Answer?

Arizmendi sounds like the kind of episode where the investigation finally appears to be moving toward an answer—and the show immediately reminds everyone that an apparent solution is not necessarily the correct one. The official premise is deliberately brief, so there isn't enough reliable public information to responsibly describe the episode's specific twists or developments beyond that central conflict. And honestly, that's preferable to filling the gaps with invented plot points.

What can be said with confidence is that the episode continues the season's darker investigation into the murders of corrupt police officers, while putting the women at odds with the detectives' apparent conclusion. That disagreement is potentially more interesting than simply watching the investigation arrive at another convenient suspect: the Azules' scepticism suggests that the case is still considerably less straightforward than it appears.

The title, Arizmendi, also gives the episode a distinctly investigative feel without revealing enough to spoil the mystery. Rather than pretending to know exactly how the name factors into the story, it's better to leave that unanswered until the episode itself provides the evidence.

The series continues to benefit from its central premise: the Azules are working within a police institution that was never designed to take them seriously, while simultaneously investigating crimes involving members of that same institution. That creates an inherent tension that doesn't require excessive plot mechanics to work. Their position as outsiders remains one of the show's most compelling elements.

If Arizmendi is ultimately about testing an apparently solved case, then the episode has a useful dramatic function even before knowing its individual beats. A thriller like this can become predictable when every episode simply introduces another clue and moves closer to the killer. Having the protagonists question the investigators' conclusion gives the story a more useful ambiguity.

The biggest limitation here is simply the available information. I wouldn't claim specific kills, confrontations, revelations, suspects, or character developments that aren't confirmed in reliable episode information. So rather than manufacture a detailed recap, I'd judge the episode on the setup that is actually established: the investigation appears to have reached a breakthrough, and the Azules aren't buying it.

That's a solid premise for another chapter of the season, particularly if the disagreement eventually exposes weaknesses in the investigation rather than functioning merely as another obstacle.

Arizmendi appears to be another deliberately tense instalment of Women in Blue, with the season's central murder investigation reaching a potentially important point. The official synopsis gives us enough to know that the detectives believe they've found the culprit and that the Azules disagree, but not enough to assess the episode's individual twists or ending responsibly. So far, the most promising element is precisely that uncertainty: in a case involving corrupt police officers, an apparently straightforward answer probably warrants questioning.

Final Score - [7.5/10]
