As you might have heard, we really love American history and guess who has a B.A. in it from Boston College. Turn on AMC continues to bring the brilliant American Revolution to life with gripping drama and intelligent espionage that should inspire every spy today, and every American appreciative of their heritage. Turn makes history fun, and if you are of the poor opinion that history is a snoozer, clearly you are Turn-deprived. Turn is the kind of show that makes you wish you could travel back in time: it sells that well.

The plot is thickening: nail biting moments make your stomach churn as you internally cheer for the Americans, who in tandem deliver pure excitement as they defy British rule. 


From the positive: Mary copying Hewlett's letters while Anna cleverly distracts him to the negative: everything Benedict Arnold who is the human embodiment of the word revolting; Turn accomplishes as a show what few can: in its third season, the quality has not faltered. Many shows crash and burn after riding the high waves early on, but there are no signs of that from this victorious bastion of patriotism. 

Romantic inclinations happen at all levels too from Hewlett wanting Anna to Benedict Arnold's engagement while poor John Andre suffers heartbreak and love lost (we're cheering for him.) When we see Hewlett we still think Guppy: not because Burn Gorman is any less fabulous here-we just saw Bleak House first and it is one of the few performances that we recall was terribly striking and worthy of memory!

You'll continue to hate whom has already earned their status as antagonist, with Simcoe at the top of the list. He's vile no matter what color he wears because his heart and his mind are rotten. 

And is it the quiet ones that always have the darkest secrets? You'll just have to see. We are starting to have a strong dislike for a father in a father/son relationship that you know.

Though we've only seen two episodes, we like Season Three even better than the first two-and Peachy Deegan was calling this her favorite show period before Season Three came out. Why? First, we happened to meet Heather Lind, who plays Anna Strong, at Sony's Stealing Cars release, which she is also phenomenal in. Of course, Anna Strong has the most brilliant ideas in TURN that the men carry out:

and second, we are even more excited because Selah Strong is Peachy's real life genetic third cousin seven times removed (not that we knew him, but it was interesting to discover and she did do the research.) Remember how he goes to his family in Connecticut?! We'd like to time travel to meet him but sadly that's not in the cards.

Our review of Season One:


The First Two Episodes of Turn Season 3 on AMC Earn Whom You Know's Highest Recommendation.



Season Three of TURN: Washington’s Spies, the Revolutionary War spy thriller, builds towards one of the most notorious moments in American history – the treasonous defection of Benedict Arnold (Owain Yeoman). Behind enemy lines on Long Island, Abe Woodhull is a spy for the Patriots, reporting directly to George Washington (Ian Kahn). Embedded within the Continental Army, Benedict Arnold is seduced to become an informant for the British. As the consequences of their espionage ripple through the battlefield, the spy game becomes a heart-stopping race to see which mole will be unmasked first. In 1778, there is only one fate that awaits a captured spy -- the hangman’s noose. The price for treason is blood, and not all of our heroes will survive.
