There are forty episodes, spanning over four seasons, so there is quite a lot to be entertained by, and spans over the true American history that covers the years of 1776 through 1781. There was so much detail and accuracy, it could actually be shown in a college US history class for three credit hours to fullfill the US History lesson requirement.
Some of the parts were SLIGHTLY "Hollywoodized," like the charaterization of British Captain John Graves Simco. I am not sure he was truly that evil, upon further research, but he did live to be a ripe old age, despite so many attacks against his life, by the American rebels, so the main part of his character was true.
I would say though upon research that 90% of the forty hours of this saga were totally true, and worth it's weight in gold as worthy of the true history buff's time.
I recommend TURN: George Washington's Spy Rng to everyone who likes quality entertainment based on true stories.
