After scoring a hit with a series set in the 1960s, AMC travels much further back in time for "TURN: Washington's Spies," a Revolutionary War-era drama based on the same-named Alexander Rose novel. The series goes beyond the battlefront to a conflict involving everyday men and women, taking place in a cryptic world of double agents, covert operations and code-breaking. It revolves around Abe Woodhull, a young farmer torn between loyalty to his Tory background and respect for those who fight for the Patriot cause. Living on British-occupied Long Island, Abe joins a group of his childhood friends to form what becomes known as the Culper Ring, a spy network charged with sniffing out British military strategy. Under the direction of Gen. Washington, Abe and his fellow agents help turn the war to the Continentals' favor, and their daring efforts ultimately serve as the foundation for modern espionage.

Jeff Labrecque Entertainment Weekly As a fan, more Revolution-era intrigue is welcome, but the show was also very careful to tie up most all of the loose ends. Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Patrick Cooley Cleveland Plain Dealer It was an eventful finale that started out slow but built to an interesting conclusion. Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Megan King TV Fanatic I have criticized Peggy this season for crying and moping too frequently, but her steely gaze as her man stood with a rope around his neck had me finally feeling sorry for her (and tearing up myself). Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 20, 2018 Full Review J.L Bell Den of Geek If anything, the Turn version [of events] is too short. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette I'm not saying this plot twist will get me on board but it certainly made me more curious about what comes next than the series ever did in its earliest episodes.

shadow p My only gripe is that they could've chosen a better actor to portray Benedict Arnold Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review stoner j The best season of the series, super dramatic and thrilling, even better than the final season Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This was the best season of the whole series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A.MAZING. I never would have imagined how a film series could trigger in me such an intense interest and respect of that historical time. Brilliant. Also, the incredibly well written and strong female characters were what got me ..and kept me. Loved every minute of it!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member S3. Here it gets better with each episode. As a armchair historian myself I have a good idea on what it should be. And it is. The actors playing key roles like Major Andre, George Washington, Ben Tallmage, Major Hewlett, Anna Strong and Mary Woodhull are extraordinary. And the ones you love to hate (Benedict Arnold and Simcoe) are equally brilliant. It's even more thrilling knowing most of it's true, if dramatized. I knew, for example, what was going to happen to Major John Andre. Yet again, I have no complaints. Great job. Great acting, really involved in this series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review keith m This series just keeps on getting better. The cast is genuine in their roles. You can't help cheering them on as they try to accomplish their missions risking everything for the cause. Gripping and dramatic but not over the top or campy. You feel as if you are a spy. Welcome to the Revolutionary War! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
