Love “Turn”.

Had no idea it was even based on real historic people until I went to amc.com and read up on the series.

This whole spy ring business was a gap in my knowledge of history and now wish I had learned of it a long time ago.

The series does an excellent job of transporting you to that time, and understanding how much you risked by being a Patriot.

Perhaps instructional for our time as well.

Robert Rogers is a personal favorite character that Angus Macfadyen plays so well.

The Robert Rogers of history is a fascinating figure as well. He contributed a great deal to America yet landed on the wrong side. Quite frankly its amazing that we won at all fighting against men like him. Rogers Rules are still used by our military today.
