Matt Roush says...
Powerfully disturbing and deeply erotic, this four-part adaptation (all episodes available for binge-watching) of Sara Collins’ novel stars an impressive Karla-Simone Spence as Frannie, a former slave standing trial for the double murder of her London employers. The series slowly reveals her upbringing as a slave in Jamaica, where Frannie was educated as part of a series of race-based experiments, then given into service as an adult to the London home of a cruel scientist (Stephen Campbell Moore) and his capricious French wife (Sophie Cookson), with whom she falls in love. Accused of their murders, defiant Frannie refuses to cower or lose her sense of self under the jury’s suspicious gaze. “They looked at me and saw only anger. God forbid they saw the truth.” They may not have been able to see her for who she was then, but that’s not the case now.
