Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Overrated

Fantastic!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The television show based on the saga of Abraham Woodhull (Jamie Bell) and the spy ring he built to help the American colonies defy the British Empire in the Revolutionary War came to an end. The final season moved the timeline towards the end of the war and saw the death of major characters and the final relaying of information that proved crucial to the British defeat. I had given up on this show back in the second season finding the acting a little corny and the dialogue strange, but when I decided to catch up on it, I found myself enjoying the dramas of the characters alongside the pressures of war. Anna Strong (Heather Lind) finds herself in the refugee camp after refusing marriage to Major Hewlett (Burn Gorman). She conspires with Ben Talmadge (Seth Numrich) and Caleb Brewster (Daniel Henshall) to root out the spies in the camp who seek to betray General George Washington (Ian Kahn).Woodhull has been so close to being exposed on numerous occasions especially as he was hunted by John Simcoe (Samuel Roukin). The plot at the beginning of the season sees Woodhull parting from his wife Mary (Meegan Warner) who has taken resistance into her own hands before including shooting Simcoe, and pretending to be captured with his father Judge Richard Woodhull (Kevin McNally) by the rebels in order to free Caleb. This plot goes terribly wrong when the Judge is shot during the prisoner exchange and Abraham is nearly shot too if he wasn't saved by Akinbode (Aldis Hodge). The murder of his father gives Woodhull the chance to disguise his motivations for joining the British army. Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com

I am a descendant of many ancestors who fought in the historical wars of this world. This series, Turn: Washington's Spies, will forever be my favorite. It was engaging, poignant, and it often moved me to tears of the pride that I have in my country.Thank you for presenting a side of the Revolutionary War through the eyes of the nameless men and women who fought with their convictions of the freedoms that I enjoy today.And I wish to extend my appreciation for every man and woman who continue to fight to maintain that semblance of freedom today. Thank you! C. McNaul

As far as AMC shows go, this is not the cream of the crop. I don't know what it is exactly that puts me off. 'The show has all the ingredients. The acting is quite good. I haven't got any problems understanding the dialogue, despite the accents. Historical accuracy is one thing that can be doubted, but I'm no expert, so it doesn't really make a difference to me.What's the problem, then? It might be just that, my disinterest in the history of the American war for independence. Historically, it is well known that most of the main characters (especially the members of the Spy Ring) survive. Despite that and my lack of interest, I find it to be quite engaging, which kinda proves that it's a good show nonetheless. I just finished season 2 and I'll keep watching, because of three characters in particular: Anna Strong (Ms. Lind can be very convincing at times), Capt. Simcoe (great villain). and Caleb Brewster (shaggy character). 6.8/10

I just watched Episode 1, Season 1. There is a reference to Washington burning New York City to the ground. Everything that I read about American History says that our side never controlled New York City. It remained a Tory stronghold throughout the war. Washington "withdrew" to White Plains and never regained the city until his return - after the war had been over for some time - in 1783. To imply that Washington was anything other than on the run after the battle of Long Island seems to me a re-writing of history. And I feel that filmmakers have an obligation if they are purporting to relay history, to stick to the facts. And Washington burning NYC to the ground is not one of them. Washington lost far more battles than he won. Without looking it up I really can only think of one win.
