TV show description:
From creators Carol Hay and Michelle Ricci, the Frankie Drake Mysteries TV show is a Canadian mystery drama that originated on CBC. Unfolding in 1920s Toronto, the series follows the city’s first female detective, Frankie Drake (Smith), and her partner in crime-solving, Trudy Clarke (Riley).
While there are plenty of cases the Toronto police shy from, the same cannot be said of Frankie and Trudy. Unbound by convention, the Drake Private Detectives are adept at turning their gender disadvantage into an advantage.
The cases Frankie and Trudy take on bring them in contact with people from all walks of Toronto life — from the wealthy and privileged to beauty queens, and even church choirs.
These women do not know the meaning of the word fear, and while that often lands them in deep trouble, they’re always able to dig their way out. A new day is dawning, and Frankie and Trudy are more than ready for it, even if the world isn’t quite ready for them.

What do you think? Do you like Frankie Drake Mysteries TV series? Should this CBC and Ovation TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
My wife and I are sorry to see it end
I love this show! It has good story lines and is truthful of that time period. The actresses are excellent and this is a show I never miss!!
Thank you to the entire spectacular cast! There are so few quality shows on, and we really have looked forward to visiting with you all each week that you have been on. We have one more season this year, and we can pray for, dare we say it, RE-RUNS. PLEASE come back 0 in any material! Bonchance to you all.
Noooo!! I love this show!! Please don’t cancel it!!!!
Very fun show! Good little clean mysteries.
I love the show, love the time when it takes place very goodventertainment.
I really enjoy this mystery show and hope PBS will pick it up again. I think the way the four ladies interact is really great.
The acting is not very good and it is woefully inaccurate about race relations — even in Canada in the 190s — but it is better than some other shows still on the air.
It’s a wonderful show, great cast. Live that women are leading the way in 1920’s Toronto. Please don’t cancel
