The problem is very little is known about the personal lives of the Culper Ring. We don't even know the identity of one of them. So, they have to make up most of it.

Still, it does bother me when they take too many liberties with the known history. But, as my wife and daughter like to say when I call a foul, "it's only a TV show, Dad."

There was somebody on an AMC Q & A who complained bitterly about Anna’s hat. She was a lacemaker herself and she claimed that Anna’s bonnet had too much lace for the period — that it would be way too expensive for a woman of her station.

It didn’t bother me until I clicked on a trailer on my computer where I had higher definition. Wow! I see what she meant. I guess I need a new TV because I hadn’t seen all that detail. LOL.

Lol...I can relate...my family says the same thing to me - that “it’s only TV/a movie, Mom ... they have to have some creative liberties”.

We’ve enjoyed Turn, for the most part.

Glad to see the attention being given to Revolutionary history/times.
