This is a reconstitution of the troubled times when America needed help from Europe against England. And more than that: it is an on-spot Apple bet, a great experience, with location "extravaganza", great costume reconstitution, a few good actors, and more. A superficial incursion in manners and languages of those times was tried and so we have an "epoque-drama" that is very interesting and leaves us wanting more. Franklin deals with a task to help his fellow Americans bring money and guns to the American cause. But it is in general a great chance to see America as a character in a different type of geopolitical drama. Also, it is enough to send a mainstream streamer to run away - American streamers will not like having French people speak French. ["Vide" Shogun for a great History reconstitution. But look, Portuguese in Shogun also is not spoken - they opted for English.] {My favorite model is "Pachinko" and the subtitle scheme they have found.} Resuming, it's a detailed flix, that lacks depth and fails to bring the real danger that Americans were confronted with. Is this a french-fries-friendly series? Well, no. But french fries are also not French, right? You'll need to have a cultural background to watch this.
