In December 1776, Franklin is world famous for his electrical experiments, but his passion and power are put to the test when — as the fate of American independence hangs in the balance — he embarks on a secret mission to France.

Renee in CA May 4 Share May 4 I’m enjoying the series. Great production, Michael Douglas is very good. Love that it is in English and French. plot is a little slow but I like the atmospherics enough that I don’t mind. 1 Link to comment

And they're right! Eddie Marsan was pretty good too, although his makeup was dreadful. And I can't help wonder about the grandson settling in at Versailles just before the revolution. All those aristocrats are going to die. Link to comment
