I received notice from AMC yesterday that TURN has been renewed for a 2nd season. Another 10 episodes will air next spring. In the mean time, they will be re-playing all of this year’s episodes.

I hope they don’t trash it up. I have all episodes recorded so far, and most of them are OK for teen viewing. But not much else on AMC is OK for teen viewing.

I was sorry to read the other day about how far the TURN screenwriters deviated from actual history in the series. (Abe Woodhull was not married, for instance, so that whole story line about how his wife found his code book and was jealous of Anna is completely made up.)

Stick to the facts, please.

Yes...could not agree more. I guess they felt they had to tart it up a bit. Overall, my problem with the series is not enough action; too much talky talk.

Hard pressed to find *anything* in the documentary world that is not grossly inaccurate and/or over produced. Truth is a precious commodity. The entertainment community seems intent on accommodating itself to infantile sensibilities.

Have you watched all of the episodes? If I still had teens I would not want them to view some of the sex scenes.

I was enjoying TURN until Woodhall and Anna became adulterers. Don’t think I will watch next season.

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."
