Turn is a period drama television series that aired on AMC from 2014 to 2017, set during the American Revolution. The show stars Jamie Bell as Abraham Woodhull, a farmer from Long Island who becomes a spy for the Continental Army, and Seth Numrich as Ben Tallmadge, another member of the spy ring and a close friend of Woodhull's. The show is based on the book Washington's Spies by Alexander Rose, which tells the true story of the Culper Ring, a group of spies who helped turn the tide of the war in favor of the Continental Army. The series stays true to historical events while also developing its own fictional plotlines and characters. Throughout the show, Woodhull and Tallmadge work with other members of the Culper Ring to gather intelligence on the British army's movements and plans, risking their lives and the lives of their loved ones in the process. The tension and danger of their efforts are compounded by the fact that they are constantly under surveillance by British spies. The show also focuses on the personal lives of the characters, exploring their relationships and motivations. Woodhull must balance his loyalty to the spy ring with his responsibilities to his family and his community, while Tallmadge struggles with his duty as a soldier and his growing feelings for the woman he loves. Other notable characters include Daniel Henshall as Lieutenant John Simcoe, a ruthless and sadistic British officer who becomes a major antagonist of the series, and Heather Lind as Anna Strong, a childhood friend of Woodhull and a member of the Culper Ring who proves to be a valuable asset to the cause. The acting in Turn is strong across the board, with standout performances by Bell and Numrich in particular. The show also features excellent production values, with meticulously researched and recreated sets, costumes, and props that transport the viewer back in time to the 18th century. Overall, Turn is a gripping and well-crafted historical drama that will appeal to fans of the genre and anyone interested in the American Revolution. Its blend of compelling characters, intense action, and real-life events make it a must-watch for anyone looking for a great TV show to binge.
