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.

Eddie Cockrell The Australian A tense, complex yet addictive web of subversion and espionage. Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Jeff Labrecque Entertainment Weekly The value of Turn was that it showed 21st century Americans how the patriots of the founding generation were just like us, for better and for worse. And that should give us hope. Rated: A- Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Kari Croop Common Sense Media Turn gets points for bringing history to the small screen and shedding light on a little-known benchmark in American espionage. Rated: 3/5 Dec 7, 2018 Full Review J.L Bell Den of Geek Actually showing racism up close would probably give viewers too much discomfort. But the invisible resolution of Abigail's storyline provides too much easy comfort. Rated: 3/5 Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Megan King TV Fanatic Simcoe has truly turned into a comic book villain, complete with a childhood trauma-laden backstory. Rated: 4.6/5 Jun 19, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

shadow p Same as my season 3 review: They could've chosen a better actor to portray Benedict Arnold Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Lawrence Incredible acting and writing. Truly a patriotic masterpiece. Loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review stoner j An excellent end to an excellent historical show! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 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 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 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 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
