All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I'm sorry this isn't more informative but please to anyone who's listening- make more shows like this! It's my favorite show ever made. I keep introducing new people to it, and they all go crazy too. It's so well done. Love it!

(Flash Review)This show picks up the battles after America declared its independence. You are given the neat perspective of the spies who work on behalf of George Washington the General and how some serious old school spying was done. A far cry from the high tech world of James Bond. The show is highly realistic and authentic to the period. There are lots of characters to keep straight and keep track of, which requires focus and/or rewatching a few scenes twice to catch everything. It is entertaining and the editing mixes up crisp and eloquent dialog, with some battles, subtle spying, a dash of romance and some bloody moments. Very enjoyable yet requires astute focus.

I did not know what to expect for Turn to be like but I had low expectations. Turn would either be very bad or good! What I did like with Turn: There is no P C nonsense with Turn. I hate historical revision. The characters, times, and events represent Turn's time frame would be like. The characters are not 1 dimensional. Well developed full characters which are not all bad or all good. More human. There is drama, heels, cowards, and noblemen. Well acted where one has pathos with the characters. The costumes, sets, and budgets are believable. The script follows the historical events closely. The director leaves no soap opera/drama dead time with the acting/script. The pace and sequences segue perfectly. Surprisingly good! Nine out of ten stars.

As far as AMC shows go, this is not the cream of the crop. I don't know what it is exactly that puts me off. 'The show has all the ingredients. The acting is quite good. I haven't got any problems understanding the dialogue, despite the accents. Historical accuracy is one thing that can be doubted, but I'm no expert, so it doesn't really make a difference to me.What's the problem, then? It might be just that, my disinterest in the history of the American war for independence. Historically, it is well known that most of the main characters (especially the members of the Spy Ring) survive. Despite that and my lack of interest, I find it to be quite engaging, which kinda proves that it's a good show nonetheless. I just finished season 2 and I'll keep watching, because of three characters in particular: Anna Strong (Ms. Lind can be very convincing at times), Capt. Simcoe (great villain). and Caleb Brewster (shaggy character). 6.8/10
