Frankie Drake Mysteries follows Toronto's only female private detective in the 1920s as she takes on the cases the police don't want or can't handle. Along with her partner Trudy, Frankie and the Drake Detective Agency take on cases of all shapes and sizes. From airplanes and booze running to American G-men, Communists and union busters, Frankie's fearless sense of adventure gets her into all kinds of trouble, but she always manages to find her way out.

I love Lauren Lee Smith.
I see people have criticized every aspect of this series and all of that criticism misses the mark. The whole series is an anachronism. No, you wouldn't see and hear many of the things in this series if you lived in the twenties, most specifically, the women themselves. It's a fantasy, a pleasing, one that never fails to bring a smile to my face, and whenever Wendy Crewson makes an appearance, the series exceeds it's already delightful celebration of what women would have been if they'd been liberated sooner.
As for Ms.Smith, If you've seen her in The Listener, it's impossible not to like her forever. For some reason, they seem to have actually chosen to de-glamorize her as Frankie Drake... but they failed. She still shines.
A broader question: why are Canadian series generally much better produced and so much more intelligent than what's produced in America?
