Frankie Drake Mysteries Series The Pilot Episode
Frankie Drake Mysteries finally delves into its titular character’s past in Season 1 Episode 8, “The Pilot,” and Season 1 Episode 9, “Ghosts,” as we learn about Frankie’s experiences during World War I. Frankie Drake is a character who can often come off as a caricature as often as she does a person. And the show knows this, as it often leans heavily into her Cool Girl Persona, making sure to have many people point out how unconventional and fun and sassy she is. It’s part of the reason she’s so much fun to watch. She’s the wSo while Frankie is charming, likable, and tons of fun but she’s not exactly what you’d call vulnerable. We might say we know more about her sidekicks Trudy and Mary than we do the series’ leading detective. That all changes in this pair of episodes.

Frankie Drake Mysteries Series Last Dance Episode
Frankie Drake Mysteries kicks off its second season with episodes that offer a more mature and team-based feel on Season 2 Episode 1, “The Old Switcheroo,” and Season 2 Episode 2, “Last Dance.”Frankie herself is sporting a markedly different hairstyle, but that’s not the only thing that’s different about Frankie Drake's Mysteries Season 2. Both stories are decidedly more balanced and focused on the team of the Drake Detective Agency as a group. All four central women have important things to do including, and finally, Flo and several strong supporting characters from Season 1 return, including Wendy Quon and Frankie’s mother, Nora. The series now has a distinctly more ensemble feel. Though Lauren Lee Smith still sparkles as Frankie, it seems the show is less a vehicle for her particular character and more a story of a group of women attempting to thrive in a man’s world.
