How does anyone have time to be a television buff?

Actually, I have watched a few episodes. We find it historically, fairly accurate. It is certainly suspenseful and offers a good assessment of what roles the patriot’s spy ring played in winning the war against king Georgie.

First season was OK, not great, not bad. Second season is stacking up on m DVR right now, I’ll get around to it.

I couldn't get into it.

As wars go, the American Revolution hasn't been that lucky with the media.

It could be because the sets are always pretty basic and unconvincing.

The premise is ok for a movie, but it gets tiring as a multi-season TV series.

I am lukewarm about it. I think it drags some and some plot points get overworked. [Ok...move ON...]

But a badazz like Simcoe? I keep watching to see him get his...

When Captain Simcoe tells you to fall in, you damn well better fall in.

Yes, it is a very good show.

If you want the accurate historical account read Washington's Spies, by Alexander Rose.

Simcoe is a great character. An unlikeable fellow, but a great character.
