Watched the first episode of Franklin last night.

The usual dramatic liberties have been taken, of course, in things like condensing characters and events, but it has an authentic feel and shows a good deal of respect to its historical source material. The costumes and sets are just beautiful (we'll forgive a few wonky cravats and collars).

I'm surprised by how much I like Michael Douglas in the title role, though he's a little too serious most of the time. Since all the other characters are dialled to 11, it makes for a curious contrast since we're used to seeing Franklin as the stand-out wit. Hopefully he warms up!

Beaumarchais is delightfully camp, and Lafayette is entirely charming, spilling over with teenage enthusiasm and earnestness. Louis XVI tinkering at his workbench was a 11/10 detail. Vergennes is subtle and sensitive.

All in all, a very enjoyable viewing experience so far.

#my only silly gripe is that too many of the french characters speak good english 😅#franklin #franklin (apple tv)#benjamin franklin #beaumarchais #marquis de lafayette
