You might enjoy “Turn” on AMC. Its a history based drama about the beginnings of Washington’s Culper spy ring.
Being a drama means artistic license but they appear to have held pretty firmly to actual history and real people as a basis. A lot of loyalists turned as a result of the arrogance and abuses of the British. A lot of it is strangely familiar.
You can watch the first two episodes here.
