TV: Turn

[Lord Moriarty007]

Great season premiere! Maj. John Andre is still my favorite character.

 

[Kane One]

Fantastic start to the season. And yeah, John Andre is great.

 

[Cush]

Looks like they took some creative liberties with Patience Wright.

[spoil]she died in 1786 (and would have been 52 in 1777)[/spoil]

 

[KapG]

Awesome start .

 

[montreal]

just finished watching the first 3 episodes, good start to the season so far.

Maj. John Andre put Mr. Shippen in his place and Captain Simcoe is acting like an lunatic in this episode.

When does he not act like a lunatic?

This season has been fantastic thus far.

In particular, I love the way that Benedict Arnold and Major Andre are being depicted. As a big history buff, it's popular opinion that both deserved fates better than they received. Arnold being a terrific solider and leader who was treated unjustly and all but given no choice but to change sides because of how poorly his fellow officers treated him (and because of how the British played on his damaged psyche). And Andre who was generally a good man who was punished due to the unjust actions of General Howe in the Nathan Hale incident.

Show is legit

 

[Danko]

Great season so far. Really enjoying Andre's scenes, townsend annoys the crap out of me though.

 

[montreal]

it has been a good season so far. Might have to read the book at some point.

Odd to see Hewlett without his wig

[KapG]

Excellent news . Thoroughly enjoying this show so far!!

Thanks for the heads up Smyth.

 

[montreal]

glad to hear it's back, figured it would although I've never looked up the numbers the show does. I think it's a well done show, though as a bit of a history buff, it's likely my favorite era of history after the world wars.

 

[yRessUneChose]

I really like the show, it is well done with a great acting/plot what not. Obviously, nothing is 1000% historically accurate,(like... the storyline of Major Rogers) but still, the essence of the story is well done. I didnt really know much of the american revolution war(just in general, important dates whatnot) and after watching the first season, I just kept reading about the circle of spies, Benedict Arnold, etc (more in depth,,)

I think I wont be the only one to say that Major Andre is an amazing character,,

 

[GermanNuck]

Really like this show. Only issue: Amazon really wanted to show the series as soon as possible in Germany so the translations are sometimes a bit sloppy. So I switched back to English.

Glad to hear that they'll make a third season, still waiting for Von Steuben

 

[KapG]

I didn't realize Simcoe was such a badass.

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

Nice, I was hoping it got renewed, they kind of left a couple cliff hangers there at the season finale. Very well done show, and I thought the 2nd season was even better than the first.

I watched Pacific Rim the other week and realized he's the weird scientist with Charlie Day.

 

[Lord Moriarty007]

I watched Pacific Rim the other week and realized he's the weird scientist with Charlie Day.

The actor is Burn Gorman who has been movies like The Dark Knight Rises. He was awesome in Game of Thrones as one of the nightwatchmen in Craster Keep. He became famous by being a lead on the spinoff Doctor Who series Torchwood.

Season 3 starts next Monday, April 25

 

[KapG]

Been quietly waitin for this to start. Really good show

 

[Burnoutboi]

I just finished season two on Netflix. This show is scary good.

 

[SniperHF]

Very excited. The difference between season 1 and 2 was stark but there is still room for it to get better even.
