- TriviaIn 1919, Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) moved to Toronto and worked as a writer for the Toronto Star Weekly. In 1920, he returned to the United States, but continued sending stories to the Toronto Star. In 1921, Hemingway and his new bride moved to Paris where he was a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star until at least 1923.
- GoofsEarly in the show there is shown a floor model radio with the dial showing about 5 different radio bands. The show takes place in the early 1920's with radio in it's infancy and would most likely had only one radio band at that time. FM and Marine radio broadcasts and others would have come much later.

Featured review
Mother of Pearl
After the long running success of the Murdoch Mysteries, some of the writers and producers created a light, frothy historical crime drama about Drake Private Detectives, a female only detective agency in 1920s Toronto.
Lauren Lee Smith gives Frankie Drake a modernist sheen, the starting titles have her on a motorbike. She is assisted by Trudy her partner in the detective agency.
This opening episode very much sets the tone. Frankie is a suspect in a jewellry heist, because the modus operandi is similar to what Frankie's late dad apparently did, hence why suspicion has fallen on her.
Frankie believed her late dad was a small time crook but then encounters an unlikely ally, her mother who Frankie always thought was dead.
The opener very much lays this down as lighthearted and fast moving show. As Frankie's new found mom is a bit of a grifter you kind of know 'the con is on' with a twist here or there.
