Totally underrated show....the best thing on television right now. I wish the ratings were higher because it deserves a massive, massive audience. my favorite show ever

Late to this party but...I fell in love with this show. I felt so connected and patriotic. So appreciative for the freedoms I enjoy in this great country due to sacrifices of brave others.

[@cindymacferran331]

It does make you feel more patriotic after viewing it. Hopefully we can feel this again as a nation, need to remember our roots!

Yessss I’m watching it now .! This is my all time favorite show ever .! Bens my husband & I bed Washington. I’m also Anna strong because I look exactly like her lol 😂

I just finished watching it and I'm so bummed there wasn't more episodes. I loved it! I'm glad I got a chance to watch since it'll be taken off Netflix end of November.

[@barbaro267]

**sigh** I love this show. I love the cast, the characters...and the special effects, props, costumes, and practical effects make everything so real. I feel immersed in every episode!

[@TheNickathome]

This show deserves much more notoriety than it gets. Season one left me with the feeling "ok its an alright show". Season two I went "wow this show is getting good". Now into season three, and I can't wait to watch the next episode. That woman who plays Peggy Shippen is smoking hot.

Yeah. Me and my fiance started watching it about a month back (if that) and we just finished it last night. I didnt even know season 4 was the last season and that Itd been over for years lol. But it went from me wondering how it could possibly end with so much going on to ending grandly and answering your questions about the main characters. I thought they did simcoe wrong though. He was a great man, especially in Canadian history.

[@joebagodonuts3040]

I’ve grown up in Setauket and spent many days riding bikes in Strongs Neck and all along 25a during the late 1970s. I’m upset with our public school system for hiding this rich homegrown history from us all these years. To know how my hometown helped shape America’s future is mind blowing. I’ve thrown rocks at the Caleb Brewster street sign as a kid and now I regret doing that !!! What a series - these actors and actresses are brilliant and the writing outstanding

[@gracefultimes]

Brewster street.. How lucky are you to grow up there that's awesome.

[@IcedSilver46]

I grew up in Selden and sadly none of this information was taught in the middle country schools. Such a shame.

[@joshsher6327]

Writing, acting and the production of this series is probably one of the best I've seen. History is not boring. They need to make more of these type of shows.

[@jakemosca6587]

Kahn did such an incredible job at representing & portraying Washington. I don't think there could have been a better cast both in terms of physical and representative likeness.

[@talkingmotanka]

I'm Canadian and was looking for a historical drama to watch on Netflix. I came across this, which I had seen a few times but passed over simply because I thought it was called "Turn" and the cover of the series looked modern. It wasn't until I saw it was actually recommended that I clicked on it to see the "Washington's Spies" part of the title which I hadn't noticed before. (Sorry, but the fact that "Turn" was so much larger, and the text for "Washington's Spies" was so small, I simply missed it when scanning through titles.) I gave this a chance in October, 2021 and I absolutely fell in love with it! It is a bit cerebral at times, so paying attention to details especially at first is key. This was a bit tricky with some fast-talking, whispered dialogue with multiple accents to keep up with. As a Canadian with only general knowledge of American history, it was a pleasure to watch this. I kept referencing the historical facts to see how authentic it was, and was pleased to see that so much of it fell in line with actual people, and true events. Throughout it all, visually this show was just beautiful with costumes and settings that were so true to its time. I loved the old homes and how people milled out their days and evenings. In today's world of instant gratification and everything-online, this show relaxed me each time I had it on. Such tumultuous times, yet so serene and simple were their lives. I'm also glad that this series allowed me to know more about American history, whereas otherwise I might not have been so captivated by it.

[@josiahhaas4067]

Found this on Netflix a month ago, watched it twice already fav show ever

[@NaraKwonPoD]

Same! It quickly became my favorite show!

[@roberthobbs5292]

I just found it a month ago, and I'm already re-starting it, like back to back. Trying to convince my wife, sister, and other's to watch it so I have someone to discuss it with! lol.

[@joshuatraffanstedt2695]

Me and my fiance just started about a month ago and finished it last night. I wanted to watch it back when it was on AMC, but I didnt have cable at the time. It was great, and i certainly plan to watch it over again in the future. The only thing is the suspense is never the same after the first time. I love being immersed in a good TV show and having no idea what's going to happen next. It's an awesome thing for sure.

[@TokyoBlue587]

It's interesting to hear Kahn's real voice, very different from the voice he does for Washington

[@anarchistatheist1917]

TokyoBlue I agree. He sounds a bit British in the show.

[@rareavisfugit]

I wonder why so breathy

[@g4lamos]

Anarchist Atheist he was British. They all were

[@victoriafrost5461]

@@rareavisfugit Supposedly by some historians say Washington had a soft (or soft as you mentioned) voice even though he was a big man.

[@talkingmotanka]

@@anarchistatheist1917 He was not actually British. He was born in Mount Vernon, which at the time was a British colony, but he was very much what one of the "first Americans" would have sounded like. Those British accents didn't just magically disappear upon birth, they were eventually edged out with each generation and depended on their environment. For example the Woodhall family were more secluded and spoke with their [new] accents amongst themselves in Setauket. Washington back then would have also sounded much more regal due to his position. He came from a different generation, and had a different life from common people, making him sound more "proper" and well-to-do.

[@baileyscott3411]

When Ian and Jamie said that they wanted a scene together I literally just laughed

Just finished watching the entire 40 episodes. What a great show. Used to live about 5 minutes away from the Old 76 House in Tappan, NY where Major John André was held before his execution.

[@doyourownresearch3402]

I have been binge watching these shows since I grew up in Bergen County NJ and went on my own little tour over 20 years ago to look at historical places in the area, down into Morris County and up into Ulster County NY, from this era

[@pointingdog7235]

I grew up outside of Trenton NJ and they have the route marked out where General Washington led the Troops who attacked the Hessians in Trenton to Princeton NJ and was able to turn the war around. The Battle of Monmouth outside of present day Freehold NJ is another example of the Old Fox when he relieved General Charles Lee of command and took the Victory there. It was also interesting to find out that the US Navy was raiding the stores the British had in the Bahamas. I liked the question about the difference in handling weapons of the day, one thing never brought out was the beginning of Season 1 Episode 3 O Cabbages and Kings, when one of the guards who were guarding Simcoe had a double barreled flintlock and watching him handle that weapon was impressive.

[@v8Buster87]

I love a good historical show, I'm a history buff and any chance to learn about something or someone that was real even if dramatized, is awesome. Because then I can go do some research, and see other material on the subject. Plus this show was fun to watch. The actors were amazing. THE LEGEND OF GIN FOOKIN ALLEY was a wonderful oyster major lol.

I felt very small standing in front of them.. these men back then had steel balls and took a HUGGGGGGGGEEEEE risk to even show up and fight king George 3

[@CulperGaming]

I love anything having to do with the revolutionary war so I am somewhat bias but for me this show was the best show I have seen on TV. All the actors were perfect for their parts. Even if you are not attracted to this period of time the show covers the drama and all the twists and turns of this show are well worth watching still. Watched all 4 seasons so many times on Netflix since it ended.

[@watteau6646]

What a great show! I avoided it for a while, since it seemed like it might be boring (spies), but it was very entertaining. Samuel Roukin was a great villain as Simcoe, and Kahn plays an original, fresh Washington with real personality, as does Yeoman who plays Benedict Arnold, and all his subtle anger and insecurities. I think Bell is actually the weakest link, not because he's a bad actor, but because they told him to play his character too tightly-wound and tight-lipped. A successful spy must blend in, and show a bit of CHARM and learn how to cavort and connive, but they had Bell's Abraham seething with anger, nervousness, and his darting, shifty eyes--no WONDER he was always getting ambushed! But props to them all for such a nice production and some real history (although buffs will always have problems with fictional recreations). Nice ending episode, also!

[@troyevitt2437]

[@liviac.3622]

It is kind of funny how Ian Kahn states that the US is the greatest country in the world like it is a known fact, especially when Jamie Bell and Owain Yeoman are actually british.

[@barbaro267]

I think it's known worldwide as the greatest country in the world, whether or not it actually is. That is because it is a place for refugees of war, famine, and persecution. It is a place where people can earn their place in the world through meritocracy. It is a place with some of the richest cultural influences from around the globe. It is a place of invention, of creativity, and unique culture. The fact that America has accomplished what it has in the short amount of time that it's existed it incredible. The fact that America is young and yet is a powerhouse in media, technology, and economy shows how great the country is. Saying it is the greatest might sound egotistical but, at least historically (in the 1900's), America was seen as the greatest country in the world because of what it stood for, what it fought so hard to become.
