After the long running success of the Murdoch Mysteries, some of the writers and producers created a light, frothy historical crime drama about Drake Private Detectives, a female only detective agency in 1920s Toronto.
Lauren Lee Smith gives Frankie Drake a modernist sheen, the starting titles have her on a motorbike. She is assisted by Trudy her partner in the detective agency.
This opening episode very much sets the tone. Frankie is a suspect in a jewellry heist, because the modus operandi is similar to what Frankie's late dad apparently did, hence why suspicion has fallen on her.
Frankie believed her late dad was a small time crook but then encounters an unlikely ally, her mother who Frankie always thought was dead.
The opener very much lays this down as lighthearted and fast moving show. As Frankie's new found mom is a bit of a grifter you kind of know 'the con is on' with a twist here or there.
