Obama will hate it.
I liked it too. I hope it continues to be about American patriotism and fighting against a corrupt government.
marked to listen later .
despite the realistic costumes and sets, I had trouble transporting myself back to that time. Everything brought comparisons to the present. every brit reminded me of a dem.
I am quite brainwashed by our sorry state
I think the Dems are like the Brits of that time. You’re not brainwashed, you’re simply staring at the truth.
The opening scene was a little over bloody but it was spectacular from there.
My favorite was the ambush scene near the end which was cut back and forth from the forced pledge of Abe Woodhull.

Large parts of Washington’s known spy ring are still effectively classified, because parts of it are suggested to have been deep within the English aristocracy, even in the royal family. Still embarrassing, even today.
Washington was also known to have made extensive use of female spies, and only one of his spies was ever captured, Nathan Hale, who in retrospect appears to be far below the caliber of spies that Washington recruited.
This shows Washington’s amazing talent. While he confessed to not being particularly brilliant, he had an impressive ability to select the best and the brightest as his operatives. In his case, this almost created a ‘Washington axiom’ of leadership: that surrounding yourself with talent is far better than being talented yourself.
As you know, life is bloody.
Peace exists only in those brief respites during which we and our enemies are reloading.
Watched it. Enjoyed it.
Full episode may be on the AMC website.
According to zap2it.com, it got about 3 million viewership.
I always suspected that Nathan Hale was a woman.;-)
Just kidding.
This certainly would make the Obama administration worried if people watch it. Hollywood and the media downplay the Revolutionary War because it demonstrates that today’s social welfare state is much more oppressive than the British ever were.
The website wanted me to install “Silverlight”
Here is a website,The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources 1745-1799 that I like,may be a nice addition to watching the show,Washington actually used invisible ink in his some of his messages during the Revolution.
If your virus protection tells you otherwise, don't download it.
I am watching now on XBMC “Project Free TV”
Bezos knew we would get hooked.
