This. With the premiere being 90 minutes I thought for sure I'd get bored, but I actually ended up really liking it and it didn't seem that long at all. Definitely will continue recording.

After TWD, The Killing and canceling Rubicon just when it was starting to get a bit interesting I was losing faith in AMC and now Turn comes along and gets me all optimistic again. The first two episodes were quite enjoyable and I like the time period and material, hopefully the rest of the season will be this strong.

I finally sat down and watched the pilot episode. Pretty cool stuff. I really like how they're showing the brutality of the Revolutionary War. It's always seemed to me that this war, more than any other American war, has been romanticized way too much. By that I mean, when people nowadays think about World War II, the Civil War, the Vietnam War, etc., they think of the death, destruction, and suffering; however, when people think of the Revolutionary War they think of the grand figures and ideals behind it, without considering that it was just as brutal as any other war.

That early scene in the pilot of the ranger going through the battlefield and stabbing the wounded soldiers without remorse was a great way to show that, yes, this is a fucking war and it's violent.

*Edit* Does anyone else have problems understanding some of the dialogue? I swear some of the accents are just horribly difficult to make out every word clearly. I understand it's realistic, but I found myself actually saying "what the fuck did he just say?" to myself multiple times.

I'll keep watching for now. I'm expecting more stuff to happen. This show can feel uneventful or inconsequential. What happened to the asshole lieutenant? Wasn't he let go to resume his post in Setauket?
