It's a struggle to make it through episode 1. They speak mostly French and switch back and forth English and French and sometimes you cannot understand even with subtitles. They feel the need to bore you with seemingly every conversation Franklin ever had. To make it worse, when Franklin gives a speech in English, we then have to hear it again in French. Must we be this historically accurate? Were the writers so out of content that they effectively have to show each seen twice in both French and English? I tried 3 times to watch because I'm genuinely interested in the history of our country. A big Meh and I give up.
