I Am Frankie - General Discussion

So, who else has been watching this? This show actually surprised me. I checked it out out of curiosity, and it's certainly not your average children's sitcom that you expect from Nickelodeon's live-action shows. I hope it gets a second season.

Dayton Reyes. I love how trusting she is around Frankie. She certainly knows how to be a best friend. Frankie herself is a close second.

[paulvdb]

I agree with you. Those two are also my favorites. And their friendship is my favorite relationship on the show.

[paulvdb]

It was better than I expected. My least favorite parts were the scenes at EGG. I would have preferred if they kept Kingston and the rest of the bad guys off screen for most episodes and only have them show up occasionally when they almost catch Frankie.

It makes me wonder if there would actually be an episode where Mr. Kingston actually comes into contact with Frankie, but fail to catch her.

I also like Lucia and Makayla. Unlike Tammy, they aren't that bad, and are actually pretty funny. Sigourney deserves a mention too, as she's just pretty.

I had overlooked the news at the time, but just found this article that mentions that I Am Frankie was renewed for a second season.

Yeah, I've known about this for a while. I'm thinking maybe we'll see the second season around June or so. Until then, I may watch the first season again.

Season 2 premiere is next Saturday, August 11.

Nickelodeon to Premiere Season Two of "I Am Frankie," on Monday, Sept. 10, at 8:00 P.M. (ET/PT)

So apparently tonight is not the season premiere but a special:

Ahead of its season two debut, Nickelodeon will air a one-hour I Am Frankie special on Saturday, Aug. 11 at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT), where Frankie goes head-to-head with Eliza, another android who has been out on her own and wreaking havoc on the world, in the ultimate android showdown.

I seen it earlier, and it was great. I can't wait for Season 2 to officially start.

In season 1, Frankie was original and different. In season 2 it seemed like everyone was an android. Too many androids. 

And after the problems they had with Sigourney's "trusted" friend James Peters in season 1, why would Sigourney just blindly trust another friend while she's not even on the earth?

Not really. Frankie, Andrew, Simone and Beto are the only androids on the show. I don't mind a few more androids.

Sigourney was friends with Cynthia since high school, and Cynthia promised that she could trust her, so I can see why Sigouney did. Unfortunately, it was found out the hard way that Cynthia had at some point turned evil.

That, to me, is a lot of androids.

Sigourney also said she could trust James Peters in season 1 and we see where that got her. With all the problems and the danger that Frankie has been in since her creation, I just thought it was naive of her to trust Cynthia enough that she left the planet considering what had transpired before.

I wonder if Frankie and her friends use Android phones.

Still, I don't mind four androids. Well, technically, there's five, if we're counting Eliza. If there's a Season 3 though, I wouldn't add anymore.

Which, I do hope there will be a Season 3.

[Aryanna]

I just hope in season 3 that they dial back some of the whole bad government agencies/danger/androids taking over the world thing. I'm more interested in how the androids interact with people at school. 

[Aryanna]

I love Dayton Reyes. She's such a good friend. They need to figure out what to do with the little sister and maker her more of a part of the story.

[Lili]

They should also bring back Byron, Robbie and John, all of whom were nowhere to be seen in Season 2. They probably won't though.

According to a recent interview with Carson Rowland, (the actor who plays Cole) I Am Frankie will be getting a Season 3.
