Well, that’s another season of Frankie Drake finished. I like this show a lot, so I wish there were more episodes per season. We learned a bit more about the main characters (finally finding out what happened to Frankie during the Great War) and saw some favourite guest characters (Joe Perry, Tickles Malone, Moses Page) return, along with perennial favourites Mildred and Nora. We also met Frankie’s brother, as well as a few real-life characters like Agatha Christie and William Hubbard. I like how the show throws in topical issues (medicine shows, the lost Debussy concerto, Trudy’s friend
running for office) that are still relatable. In fact some of the issues, like sexual harassment or the land scam, are still happening today. Flo seems to be getting closer to realizing her dream of being a doctor, and Mary has finally learned to stand up for herself, which should help her become a cop. Mary is still my favourite character (and I love how well she and Flo work together), so I hope we get plenty of her in the next season, which I’ll start reviewing next week.
