The sets and costumes were good I will say. But I did not like the actress playing Frannie. Maybe it was correct in line with the book, I do not know as I have not read the book. But from the start she was not likeable! Very holier than thou and did not get my desire to help her. She even was not trying to let friends, the lawyer help her when they tried. The mistress was spoiled and selfish in my view and I am not surprised was not going to have a lesbian relationship, mixed child etc with her. But I do not blame her as this is something only an option to women in the very very recent years.
Frannie should of been and was aware of the political times, and tried to do her best to live. I know we want to be living a certain way but you can not help when you are born.
I do understand the cruelty she experienced and that lead to some of her actions there in England. But murder is not the answer! Especially even with that confession she admits she was not honest with that.
As I said I am a black woman from the USA, and I have had some very awful things happen to me. Really awful including attempted murder on me. And I got zero justice even when the cops put a case for that, the judge, legal system felt my bf was "stressed and felt to try to kill me was his only option" this was in 2005. So things are not that in improved at least in the USA. I do feel in UK they have improved though. My point is even when told and given the chance to seek revenge I did NOT. As even though I was greatly hurt, me hurting was not the correct answer.
No one would excuse me for deeply hurting someone that hurt me directly and I would be ashamed if I did. So no sorry I can not feel for her in this situation!
That said I was hoping for a more interesting ending! Like it would turn out to NOT be her, like someone else framing her or something. But nope was not. Was a bit hmm not that great.
