Turn: Washington's Spies tells the story of the Culper Ring, a group of spies that help turn the tide of the Revolutionary War in favor of the Americans. The show centers around Abraham Woodhull (Jamie Bell), a farmer living in Setauket, Long Island who bands together with a group a childhood friends to steal information about the British and get it to the Continental Army. The story and characters are clever and engaging, the acting is good, and the setting really immerses you in the time. The picture and sound quality are top notch and there are some pretty good special feature. The four minute documentary gives some pretty interesting details of the shows subject matter, and the deleted scenes are fun to watch. I highly recommend this show to anyone who likes history shows and movies or fans of spy stories in general.

Turn is certainly one of my favorite new series on television and I would advise anyone to get caught up with this show since season 2 has just begun. The production quality, scripts and acting are all first rate, creating a story line based on history that not only relives moments in history, but completely entertains the viewer while doing so. Television series have become the best thing to watch these days and AMC is right up there with the best PAY TV networks such as HBO & STARZ. Check it out!

My wife and I had been seeing the commercials on AMC for this series, but always seemed to have something else to watch. I finally picked up the complete first series BluRay set from Best Buy and we were so caught up in the storyline, that we watched it in just over a week. Interesting storyline from the Revolutionary war days.

This well-done series was absorbing enough that I watched the first season in its entirety as it was broadcast, despite my aversion to commercials and against my usual policy of waiting for rental, DVD, Blu-Ray or at least On-Demand. And I am now eagerly watching season two.

I love this period in our history and thought that they did a great job of bringing Alexander Rose's book to life. Even though they took much liberty with the lives of a few of the characters, it still translates well with the overall factual accounts.
