This year, I serve as the Editor-in-Chief of William & Mary Television club's arts and culture magazine, Ramble On. For this position, I edit pieces, lead staff members, design spreads, run the website, and write articles. This is a review I wrote of the TV show, Turn: Washington's Spies (2019)
Move over Hamilton because American History has never been sexier.
AMC’s Turn: Washington’s Spies has it all: powdered wigs, great performances, and an 81 percent average on Rotten Tomatoes. The Daughters of the American Revolution even awarded the series with the Media & Entertainment Award back in 2014, which makes it seem as if it must be a perfect reenactment of the spy organization, Culper Ring, during the Revolutionary War.
So, is it historically accurate? No, of course not. Is it a whole lot of fun? Bloody hell, yes.
