Product Review: Turn and Washington’s Spies

Sue and I are Netflix junkies, and an evening in front of the big screen watching a Netflix series is a typical night here at the suburban version of Tinfiny Ranch.  We recently watched Turn.  It’s the story of Washington’s spy ring during the Revolutionary War, and folks, it was good.   It’s four seasons long and each season has 10 episodes.  The first season was a bit slow, but we’d heard good things so we stuck it out and we’re glad we did.  The action picked up dramatically in the second season and it continued nonstop thereafter.

The Turn story occurred mostly in and around New York, New Jersey, and Long Island.  Although filmed in Virginia, the terrain looks exactly like my old stomping grounds (central Jersey, where many American Revolution events occurred).  The battle that turned the war happened 10 miles from my home, and every time I’m back there I take in a bit more.

Turn is based on the Alexander Rose book, Washington’s Spies.  I enjoyed the Netflix series so much I read the book.   Like the television series, Washington’s Spies started slowly and then the action accelerated rapidly.

Trust me on this:  You won’t go wrong with either Turn or Washington’s Spies.  Jump into either and you can thank me later.
