Quick Glance: Franklin: An Entertaining Historical Series
  • Benjamin Franklin (Michael Douglas) embarks on a secret mission to France to garner support in the war for independence against the English.

  • The series, with Michael Douglas in the title role, offers an enjoyable portrayal of America's Founding Fathers, although the plot switches between English and subtitled French.

  • The interplay of intrigue, deception, and diplomatic negotiations as Franklin tries to secure French support is a central focus of the storyline.

  • Michael Douglas shines with his magnetic personality as Franklin in this pleasurable yet not entirely gripping series about the events leading to the birth of a nation.
