It looks really, really good from the previews/website. I don't want to go beyond crazy here, but it seems to have a slant that Freepers would like. We can only hope...
From their website:
"Based on Alexander Rose’s book Washington’s Spies, AMC’s TURN tells the untold story of America’s first spy ring. A historical thriller set during the Revolutionary War, TURN centers on Abe Woodhull (Jamie Bell), a farmer living in British-occupied Long Island who bands together with his childhood friends to form the Culper Ring -- an unlikely team of secret agents who not only went on to help George Washington turn the tide of the war but also gave birth to modern spycraft.
"TURN," from AMC Studios, is written by showrunner Craig Silverstein (Nikita) and executive produced by Barry Josephson (Bones, Enchanted) from Josephson Entertainment.
The series stars Jamie Bell as Abraham Woodhull, Seth Numrich as Ben Tallmadge, Heather Lind as Anna Strong, Daniel Henshall as Caleb Brewster, Meegan Warner as Mary Woodhull, Kevin McNally as Judge Richard Woodhull, Burn Gorman as Major Hewlett, Angus MacFadyen as Robert Rogers, JJ Feild as Major John Andre, and Samuel Roukin as Captain Simcoe.
"Tune in for the 90-minute series premiere on Sun., Apr. 6 at 9/8c.

The RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington ping list...
Looking forward to it.
I’m hoping its good but I would be a lot more encouraged if it were a Colony Bay production.
I been seeing preview for this AMC start suck in my book since Breaking bad was over for series
perhaps the boys can watch this...
“You just know there will have to be a homosexual love affair in it somewhere.”
I’m sure there won’t be. Pretty damn sure (cough)
Episode Two - the spies will be investigating environmental degradation in New York and the Founding Father's lack of diversity.
...ping....
I don’t know about that. AMC has been killing it with great series. I don’t think they want to spoil everything they have built up over a small segment of the population.
ESL, huh? Keep studying hard. Soon you’ll be fluent.
LOL...zing.
You might love this new show.
RevWar
For later.
RevWar is an accepted abbreviation among those of us who devote a significant amount of our time studying it, reading about it and looking to our Founders as continued inspiration.
Who peed in your gruel this morning, good sir?
Your Obdt. & Humble Svt.,
P_____y
LOL!! I did not see that as a possibility...but who knows?
I suppose we do use things like WW2, Nam, and CW2 quite a bit. Now if we start hashtagging stuff, then that’s is very hipster!
Also, I’ve never actually liked the name “Revolutionary War”
It wasn’t the only revolution that ever took place and it wasn’t revolutionary in terms of being something new or novel. It was the American Revolution...ok my nitpicking is done.
