This is a good cable show. I'm not yet sure if it's
"great", but it certainly could be. So far I'm enjoying it.
It's a spy show set during the Revolutionary War. I'm glad
to see any show set in the past. I'm a sucker for any period
piece. The show LOOKS very good. It has a very
authentic look, yet it's also pretty colorful.
It's basically about a farmer who spies on the British
for the Americans, and how they give birth to the whole
modern idea of spies. I didn't realize it's based on a book,
too. Very interesting. The writing is very good, and I like
how it plays out so far. I plan to add it to my
ever-growing list of new shows to watch!
