Frannie Langton is brought over from The West Indies, and placed in service with The Benham family, a wealthy, society family, but an unhappy one. After the couple are found dead, Frannie is arrested for murder.
I didn't fancy it when it went out, foolishly as it turns out, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
An intriguing drama, with two principle elements, it's both a love story and a murder mystery. The love story is perhaps the principal interest, a love between two women in the late nineteenth century, it's powerful and heartbreaking. The mystery is also so engaging, I'm sure you'll form several different theories as it develops.
Powerful, moving and thought provoking, it's a great drama.
I would really urge you to eas the book, it's somewhat different to this drama adaptation, very much worth your time.
Karla-Simone Spence does a terrific job as Frannie, as does Sophie Cooking, their love story is impeccably played out. The supporting cast of Jodhi May and Pooky Quesnel are excellent.
It's a stunning production, it looks amazing, the sets and costumes are incredible, some of the most amazing wigs you'll ever see.
An exceptional drama.
9/10.
