Frankie Drake Season 1 Episode 8 The Pilot aired 7/13/2019

      The city’s only female private detective, Frankie Drake takes on cases that the police don’t want or can’t handle.  Frankie and Trudy take the day off but the infant son of an aviator is kidnapped.  There is a demonstration about taking care of babies so there were several babies.  Why was this baby chosen to be taken? 

      The investigation begins with Frankie and Trudy questioning the father and going to their home to question the mother.  There is some hint about a cult-like eugenics group and the father?  In this episode we find out more about Frankie as a war veteran.  In the war is where she learned how to ride a motorcycle and shoot a gun.  She also really learned how to stand up for herself and not take ridicule from any man.  5* (I really like this series)


43 min, Crime directed by Alanis Smithee, written by Carol Hay, Michelle Ricci and Cal Coons with Lauren Lee Smith, Chantel Riley, Rebecca Liddiard, Sharron Matthews, Emmanuel Kabongo, Kris Holden-Ried, Jonny Harris, Laurence Fox, Lucas Bryant, Charlotte Sullivan, Charlotte Arnold, Adrienne Wilson, Claire Hunter, Thamela Mpumlwana, David Patrick Flemming.


Mistake:  Frankie rides a Janus motorcycle and they were not produced until 2011.  This is nearly 90 years after the time setting of this series.  I think that Frankie is not riding the bike but a stunt double is riding instead?
