Good little known points. The British were ruthless.
But during her scenes with Simcoe I actually said out loud, “Oh, hell, Anna, go for it.”
Ewwwwwwwwww! He’s a nasty devil. LOL
He’s creepy, too. :)
This program is TOO GOOD for me.
I have trouble following it.
Too much intrigue, spy counterspy stuff going on.
My wife loves it however.
The acting and sets and costumes are first rate!
I agree, I love the characterization of Washington.
Me, too. The first time they showed General Washington I got chills.
Yes I am
Yes I am
Really?
When?
I’ve made mistakes, sometimes forgetting details I used to know by heart. But I’m afraid I am quite well-read regardless. And the RevWar is a hobby of mine going on 25 years, hence my nom de plume.
As for self-righteous? My view that we should be moral, including sexually, is self-righteous? It’s time-honored and the right thing to do (not do), until the ‘60s hippies broke it all down after they could get their hands on BC pills. Yes, and we’ve had great society ever since.
BTW, I’m correct - Washington did NOT commission Lafayette. Congress did.
I asked my wife that exact question....who is 355. My guess is that it is the astronomer guy, Hewett. I just do not know.
Agreed, but I say he is the greatest man ever, which would have to include his morality. Tons of Americans then and for generations thought so. The most-honored man ever, with countless displays and items and customs made because of him.
I agree.
Ditto, that!
Watched the first two shows. As soon as schools done I’m going to enjoy the rest of the season. It is good TV.
My 13 year old son enjoys the show too. It’s very well done and seems to be a fairly accurate history lesson. It’s a good way to see the conflict and sacrifices of everyone.
That is great to hear. It’s encouraging to see young people learn of and appreciate our American history.
I’ve been enjoying the show since Season 1, but I have to admit I was a little annoyed when they introduced adultery into Abe’s character. I thought that was gratuitous and ill-advised. It makes me think less of the character.
I know just what you mean. I'm enjoying seeing him shown as a real human being, with flaws, while maintaining the greatness & the good character of the man.
I know! He’s all of those things. I have no idea why I like him, LOL.
Doubtless it’s something amiss in me. :)
Simcoe is a sociopathic fiend!"
He is that. Seriously, Samuel Roukin is doing a good job of making him one of the most entertaining characters on the show.
I’ve seen this advertised, haven’t watched it.

Well put.
You like his voice. LOL
His voice is perfect for his character.
