The Confessions of Frannie Langton

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.

Powerfully disturbing and deeply erotic. [27 Feb - 12 Mar 2023, p.4]

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.

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.
