Been following the show from the beginning. Just discovered that Caleb Brewster is a distant multiple-removed cousin of my wife. Shared a common Brewster ancestor. That makes it even more interesting to watch.

Your problem is you watched some show on Showtime. Get rid of it, the same with HBO

Thanks for the ping. I’m hooked on this show.

As a television show, it totally works. There's sufficient character development, action, and conflict to hold fast the attention of the most stringent of critics.

But there's no zombies. It needs more zombies.

I am watching it. Every episode. It’s a good show.

No, I don’t think that, but the little I’ve seen so far, it’s got some lacivious moments we really don’t need to voyeur on.

When I first started to watch the show I thought it was based on Brian Kilmeade’s book

I was just flipping channels surfing for something worthwhile to watch. If not for my wife and kids, I would cut the cable completely...that day will come.

There have been “lascivious” moments throughout history. Even George Washington participated.

He's an enemy but Robert Rodgers is great played by Angus MacFadyen

Spencer Tracy played him in “Northwest Passage.” It was one of the early Technicolor MGM efforts.

We have watched every episode. After season one started I got Brian Kilmeade’s book Washington’s Secret Six. Great book I heard about on Mark Levin’s show.

Damn near everything on TV today sucks. Even shows like this, where they have these gay or punk-looking actors trying to pass themselves off as rough guys. Not convincing enough to even bother watching in my book.

‘Slate’ doesn’t like it...so it’s obviously well worth watching! ;)

Its kind of funny the fantasies people have about history.
