Nonetheless, we cannot grieve (nor should we start up a letter-writing campaign). We have been very lucky to have a show of this quality on TV for three seasons already given all the competition. This colonial story about the founding of our nation has clearly found an audience all these years, and for that we should be pleased. And as one of the fans of the show, I am very pleased.
AMC President of Original Programming Joe Stillerman noted:
TURN: Washington’s Spies has always had a lofty goal — to tell the real story of the American Revolution from the ground up. To capture the truth about the choice regular people had to make to support what has become the United States of America. It frequently involved turning against friends and family, and it always involved risking everything.
We need such reminders even more today as we contemplate some difficult choices and potential leaders. The United States did not just magically appear, and it will take strong leaders as well as an educated populous to keep it on track and push it to even higher heights. Let's hope we can continue to learn and draw inspiration from George Washington and other who came before us.
