This epitomizes why I gave up entirely on all modern tv-programs. Cut them out of my life completely. The whole mixture of vomitous sleaze and leftist propaganda.
AMC’s “Turn” is solid history based drama about George Washington’s Culper spy ring.

It was a pleasant surprise. Very pro American with a strong historical basis with all the main characters being historical figures. There is no ambiguity or suggestions that the British were right. There is some added drama but not so much that it buries the history.
