The show.
In December 1776, Benjamin Franklin is world-famous for his electrical experiments. But his passion and power are put to the test when he embarks on a secret mission to France—with the fate of American independence hanging in the balance.
our take
“Franklin tackles real social situations — jealousy, fear of failure, making amends — and the woodland setting is appealing. It scores in the D range because the pacing includes more scene transitions than our top-rated shows, and Franklin's behavior before learning each lesson sometimes models the negative behavior more prominently than the resolution. Language quality is moderate.”
