shadow p Same as my season 3 review: They could've chosen a better actor to portray Benedict Arnold Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review The Top Hat Gentleman One of the best shows I as a Historian have ever seen. I love the acting and by the ending all I can tell you is it was a masterpiece. The actors really put their hearts into the series. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/22 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 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member My master's thesis was a 120 page paper on "The Civil War of New York State during the American Revolution: son against father, brother against brother" I am sorry but there was so much BS in this I was laughing. Look a lot of this stuff was reality but it was far more numerous than just Abe Woodhull. When he went for Arnold that was a joke as that was Light Horse Harry Lee's Sergeant Major Champee; Woodhull was nowhere near. I must say it was good in one department that it gave Major Ben Tallmadge his due. I laughed at Rogers helping get Major Andre whose hubris got him caught, he was probably in the UK at the time. The 3 Pauling Van Wart & Williams were yes robbers but legit as land pirates with authority from NY State to patrol and take from British as roving gangs of Cowboys (UK) & Skinners (US) roamed the area depleting it of livestock & grains but they were mostly thugs & NY Militia went out to halt these thieves & were allowed to take from them for a fee given back to state. Ok why didn't Jamie Bell do Billy Eliot and dance on Simcoe's face to save the day. Most of the accounts of the the spying was true but it was many different people as the Culpeper crew was more than these few individuals. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review bruce w Spoiler alert..I gave it three stars for it being watchable , however as a "true story" I'd give it 1 star. I don't understand why the producers had to fictionalize so much .The story is so compelling they didn't need to make things up. 1..anna strong was in her mid forties, married with 6 children.There was no affair between her and woodhull. 2. nathan sackett and judge woodhull lived until the early 1800's..they were not killed.3.Andrew woodhull was unmarried at the time.4. washington never considered general Lee a traitor.5.Simcoe was a discipline officer not a psycho. And I could go on!!!! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Villains are still nearly indestructible. Any time someone touches a musket it sounds as if they're kicking a tin can down the road. Excess of the "gun noise" I know I rated this show very low but I did like the story at least. It was just everything else that irked me. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
