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.

I have watched all episodes twice. I wasn’t keen on the Anna/Woodhull liaison, although I could understand her — she had been told that her husband was dead; and she was highly emotional (not a good condition for a spy). But it was inexcusable for Abe. Furthermore, it required that they kill a British soldier to keep from being found out. All very tawdry.

However, in real life — there were 10 years difference in their ages (Anna was older), there is no evidence that they engaged in an adulterous affair, and Abe did not marry until AFTER the Revolution. (Although Anna and Selah had a child later on — after the Revolution — that they named Abraham Woodhull.)

Furthermore, Abe’s father, the Judge, was NOT a Tory sympathizer in real life.

My comments about “teens” is that I have some grandchildren arriving for a visit this weekend, but I’ll pick and choose as to which episodes to allow them to watch — if they are even interested. It’s also pretty violent. I just hope that they don’t take next year’s series too far afield in the romance department.
