The 8-episode series for Apple TV + is adapted from Stacy Schiff's novel A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France and the birth of America. It is a fascinating lesson in history and politics, with spy thriller overtones, coupled with the coming-of-age story of a teenager.
Michael Douglas - Franklin, formidable in intelligence, seduction, and cunning too, waged his fight, without respite, for eight years, at court, in the salons. The actors are prodigious - the crudeness of the behavior of the time - without omitting anything of the elegant, virtuoso reconstructions. All in a world in a twilight atmosphere, one world begins (the United States), another ends (the Bourbon monarchy), the language in English, in French as well as in French.
