set against the dazzling opulence of Georgian London, narrates Frannie’s journey from a Jamaican plantation to the grand Mayfair mansion of celebrated scientist George Benham and his exquisitely beautiful wife,
Madame Marguerite Benham.
In a misguided and monstrous gesture Frannie is gifted to Benham by the
man who owns her, John Langton, and she is employed as a maid in the
household much to her chagrin.
As the plot twists 
and turns, events take a fateful turn as the Benhams
are found murdered in their beds, with Frannie lying next to Marguerite.
Frannie is accused of murder but swears that she couldn’t possibly have
killed her mistress because 
she was devoted to her. Dragged away to
prison, Frannie attempts to piece together the events of that night.
She is deep into a laudanum addiction and unclear about precisely what
happened…

This one looks interesting, but somehow it doesn't beckon me. Gattocito, the one period drama that is out already is Hotel Europa. It had its debut in German TV last week, and it's already in Spain (with Spanish subtitles) and in Australia (with English subt.)
ReplyDeleteYes, no one interesting in it to really make us wanna watch it.
DeleteHow lovely, I thought it premiered eons ago LOL
Sounds like a good suspenseful watch. Though I wouldn't blame her if she did get drugged up and snapped.
ReplyDeleteI think she was lesbiefriendly with her mistress as one of the older photo suggests lol I bet they will blame it all on the husband in the end as they always do.
DeleteAmazing costumes!
