    TURN IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2016*

BEST SHOW ON TV.  Season 1 is a little slower action wise because it is mostly about establishing the characters, but the ensemble cast is top notch.  The scripts are intelligent, and the cinematography is breath-taking.  Some people do not like the fact that it is not a totally accurate documentary, but this is a historical drama based on real people, so I go with the flow.  The main thing is that the audience is learning many important, general concepts about the revolution---most importantly that it was truly a civil war.  Also that there were honorable and disgusting people on BOTH sides of the conflict.  The show also gives viewers a look at the lives of marginalized people of the era:  women and slaves.  Season 2 is even better, and so far Season 3, which is in progress on AMC on Mondays at 10 PM is intense, compelling and fast paced.  If you are not watching you show be.  All three seasons are available on Amazon Instant Video.

    Washington's Spies
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2015*

The Revolutionary War against Great Britain was the most important era of our history. If we had been defeated - which was all too likely in 1776 - George Washington and many of the other men who came to be known as our founding fathers would likely have been hanged. We may have gained our freedom at a later date as Canada, Australia, India, South Africa, etc have done; but there would have been no Constitution crafted by the gifted, extraordinary men who wrote it. There would have been no presidents, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe...no "My Country Tis of Thee". Washington and his small army were literally at the end of their tether in 1776, having been defeated badly in several battles on Long Island and New York and having retreated ingloriously to a camp along the Delaware River, Without intelligence early on, Washington was floundering; but then an intelligence source came to his aid, resulting in Washington's iconic crossing of the Delaware and the defeat of the Hessians at Trenton. The intelligence gained before that battle and of course the battle itself was the lynchpin of our ultimate victory in the war. This TV series is the story of that first spy ring, based on the book, "Washington's Spies: The Story of the First Spy Ring" by Alexander Rose. I have not read the book; but, having just watched the first season, I am totally hooked by this TV series. There are so few films, much less quality films, available about our Revolutionary War; and it is therefore gratifying to see one like this, so well produced and so well acted. I can't wait for the next season!!

    I've read the book, here's what I think of the show......
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2014*

Just to set the record straight, the show  is only about 50% historically accurate to the book 'Washington's Spies' written by Alexander Rose.  The setting and basic character portrayals are correct, however, Abraham Woodhull was not married during his spying days, and there was no love triangle (quadrangle?) containing Anna Smith Strong.  My greatest criticism is that they set it up that Woodhull was motivated to become a spy by wanting to impress and protect Anna Smith Strong....not because of his own beliefs and wanting to take a stand against British oppression; the pillaging and impoverishment of Long Island.  Strong was actually 10 years older than Woodhull, had a handful of children at the time of the Revolution, and her husband was related to the Woodhulls; so she was a bit of an older sister character.  Later episodes get smutty with these two, and I feel it's a little besmirching of the memory of real life patriots who took such great risks for the cause.  I think it's a mistake to assume that audiences will not sympathize with the hero of a story unless his motivation is saving a girl.  This is AMC, not the CW.That aside, Brewster, Tallmadge, Woodhull's father, and some of the British characters are very well done.  The show makes similar pitfalls to the movie "Patriot" by only portraying the British as cruel, manipulative, or licentious; the Tories as backstabbing opportunists; and the Patriots as lovable puppy-dog family men.  Simcoe has been made quite a bit more evil; while there is some basis for this (massacring people in their sleep, for instance) he had a long, decorated military and political career.  Ask the Canadians. Woodhull himself (according to Rose) was kind of a nitpicker and would frequently complain to Tallmadge and Washington; but I would have left that aspect out too.  When I heard about this series, I fully expected Tallmadge to be made the main protagonist, not Woodhull.  I like how they are building up Tallmadge's vendetta against the Queen's Rangers, and can't wait to see the show's interpretation of Benedict Arnold, Andre, Agent 355, and Robert Townsend.  There is plenty of exciting material they can work with, hopefully a lot less crazy-mixed-up love triangle stuff.The critics have commented that the story is hard to follow, but all you have to know is that 'Tories' are loyalist colonists that side with the British.  They have their own militia groups, like the Queen's rangers, and will not be wearing Red Coats.  Secondly, you have to know that the British headquarters and loyalist stronghold is New York City.  If any intelligence for the patriot cause is to be gathered (with enough time to do anything about it) it is from there.So overall three stars, the history was so intriguing during this time period...just wish it was followed more closely.
