I didn’t see season one. Please tell me that it wasn’t as bad as that God-awful “Sons of Liberty” on the History Channel.

I thought season 1 was wonderful, although it moves somewhat slow. Season 2 picks up the pace quite a bit.

The costumes, interiors, and photography are wonderful, even though the narrative is not totally accurate. For instance, Anna Strong was quite a few years older than Abraham Woodhull in real life. There is no evidence that they had an affair. Of course, you could say that there is no evidence that they DIDN’T have an affair, either. ;^)

Patience Lovell Wright (seen at the beginning of Season 2) was not shot point blank by the King’s soldiers. She died from complications of a broken leg in 1786. She was a spy, however, who smuggled info to Ben Franklin hidden in her wax busts of famous personages.
