Benjamin Franklin Apple TV Series

Benjamin Franklin is back in Paris at last! A couple of years ago, I had posted about the Paris series shooting on the nine years Ben Franklin spent in Paris starring Michael Douglas as Franklin. It has finally been released on Apple TV.

I have watched the first episode and I am not going to comment for now. As a huge history reader, I can be nitpicking but I also understand that series have to be digestible for the average viewer... So I will wait to see more episodes to express an opinion.

The important part is the premise of the story is very clear: Benjamin Franklin arrives in Paris in December 1776 to seek help from France against England. I hope this series will renew the awareness of the role of France in helping the United States become independant from the British Empire...
