Any show that depicts kicking the crap out of Brits is OK by me. It happened so rarely that its fun to watch.

Yes, it is inaccurate for even the most modest Boston history buff.

But its fun in a silly, Starship Troopers kind of way.

They got so much of it wrong, with respect to both history and language, that I spent three nights cringing at what the writers did.

Despite that, I could see that their hearts were in the right place, and they were attempting to make history relevant to the unlettered. It was a lot like the old comic book series "Classics Illustrated" from 50 years ago.
