The production design is even more handsome. The CGI-enhanced scenes of New York and its harbor are particularly striking... And most of the performances remain entertaining in their arch way.December 07, 2018
As lavish and well acted as ever and promising more intricate intrigues.April 10, 2015
Despite unflinching bursts of violence... the suspense is tempered by the setting and a realization how long the war will drag on, transforming some of the caper aspects into Mission: Impossible (the series, not the movies) in powered wigs and red coats.April 14, 2015
Turn is back with a new subtitle, a generally quicker pace, and a greater sense of mission.December 07, 2018
I appreciate the care Turn is taking to show how a war is made up of people with varying degrees of heroism and evilness.April 14, 2015
This remains an intelligent, well-made drama that wants to get most of the history right, or at least not adulterate it too much.December 07, 2018
Abe isn't exactly a Revolutionary 007, but Turn has a few villains that would make Ian Fleming proud -- except for being Brits, of course.December 07, 2018
Season 2 is leaps and bounds better. The main reason is an expansion of scope.April 14, 2015
Even the accents... promote the sense that we are peeking behind the curtain of life as it really happened, not watching another gimcrack re-creation of the bandaged head, flute and limp sort.April 14, 2015
Turn could become a far more fun show in its second season thanks to the appearance of Owain Yeoman as Benedict Arnold, a character that best represents Turn's opportunity to turn foregone conclusions into riveting television.
