Premiere date: April 6, 2014, 9pm.
Set in the summer of 1778, this new AMC drama follows the story of the first American spy ring. The show looks like its going to take everything you learned about the Revolutionary War in high school (and probably elementary and middle school as well) and turn it on its head. Giving depth and humanity to the people of this incredibly important time in history has never been a top priority of this nation's public school curriculum, so it will be nice to see it finally done. With a relatively unknown cast (aside from maybe Jamie Bell or Kevin McNally), AMC will have to rely on the show's incredibly intriguing premise to reel viewers in. America does have a certain anglophilic obsession with period dramas and costumes, so I doubt Turn will have trouble finding a dedicated fan base.
Bonus: J.J. Feild is in the cast!!!
