Very well produced with wonderful costumes and sets and great historical story about Franklin. However, it seems like there were a lot of ideas for storylines that didn't really seem to get developed or completed. Many side characters had small plot lines that didn't really feed into the main plot line and sort of fizzled out. Perhaps in the original written material there was a lot more development of the side characters and side plots, but in the TV series, it almost seems like wasted screen time for some of these characters and plot lines as they don't serve any real purpose in the main story, or in gaining a better understanding of the main characters or their motives.
I really love historical drama so I have no problem watching this. It's good enough, but it didn't really move me the way some great historical dramas do. The acting is very good and the series is very watchable. It just seems to be missing some intangible element that really makes some series great.
