It is all wrapped up in a rich, compelling story that keeps tight hold of its plot and leaves you hoping, almost as ardently as Fannie, for justice to be done.
-
As of episode three, those “things” are only just becoming clear and if the series’ foreshadowing thus far (judiciously light-touch, genuinely gasp-inducing) is anything to go by, the reveal will be more than worth the wait.

Powerfully disturbing and deeply erotic. [27 Feb - 12 Mar 2023, p.4]
-
This edgy and sensual period piece slowly reveals what led to that pile of bloodied corpses.
-
The Confessions Of Frannie Lanington succeeds because of the performance of Karla-Simone Spence, despite some disjoined storytelling that leaves viewers in the dark about some aspects of the story.
-
This is not subtle stuff. Would any young servant in Frannie’s position really have spoken and behaved in this way? Unlikely, but this is drama as wish fulfilment.
