TURN: Washington's Spies (Season 4)

Review:

No! So sad! I didn't want this to end. I really think this was the best season out of all of them. So good. 

The season ends and goodness what is going to happen. All of the rings work and all of the enemies work is coming to a draw. Yes, yes, we all know the Americans win. Not new news, but there were times I was worried. ;) 

I was especially worried about my favorites!! 

The ending was the best. That last episode made me cry. Everything came together and it felt so real. The writer's did a wonderful job. I liked it a lot and all the lose ends was nicely tied with a bow. My favorite type of endings. I was really sad about the fate of one character, but war and especially post-war can be cruel and not everyone is lucky. Poor character. 

What else can I say without spoiling? 

I decided to watch the first episode of the first season right after this and it is CRAZY how much everyone changed, but also stayed the same at the same time. Everything was balanced. Story, character-development, action, and drama.  

I have zero complaints about this last season. The whole show, overall, was very good. I highly recommend this for historical lovers. I want to read the book! 

In the end, I want to re-watch this series. Super good. 5 stars for this last season. 

Time for TV Tuesday #3

**Someone had asked me why I don't discuss the shows that I watch since I seem to watch more TV compared to movies. This is an excellent question. Well...I will be doing this weekly Tuesday post sharing what I watching and some of my thoughts. Of course, I highly encourage sharing what you are watching too!!**

TURN: Washington's Spies (Season 3)

This show follows a small, but extremely important part of George Washington's army during the American Revolution. There was a small group of spies assembled to gather information for the American Army. The head spy is a cabbage farmer by the name of Abraham, alias Culper. He enlists his old childhood friends and a couple strangers to run this ring. 

Now, this is season 3. Season 1 and 2 were good. Season 1 started slow, but got amazing. Season 2 started amazing, but fizzled out due to all the drama with the whole who-loves-who and etc. I was a little worried about Season 3, but I was still excited, because who doesn't love spies?

Season 3 was by far the best season so far! I giddy and could not stop watching. I finished this in two days (damn sleep and work getting in the way).  

I am really sad two of my favorites are gone from the show. Sad! However, I still have one favorite last. I will be PISSED if they write him off or kill him. GAH! I believe he was real, but I am scared to actually look it up. 0_0

But yes, there is still some of the old love-interest drama, but it is mainly all gone now. Still residual and still there, but it's to a level where I do not think it is ruining the plot like it did last season. 

I highly recommend this show for history lovers. I'll give this season a solid 5 (even though I am not pleased with the whole getting rid of all my favorite character >_> Hurmph).

Rules of Engagement


I've always wanted to watch this show. I started season 1 (I am nearly done already - dang!) and will be starting season 2 soon. I'll give a status update next week. But yeah - so far so good. It started really slow and the humor seemed forced. Pilots are always so rough, I swear. However, it is warming up and I am loving the characters. I'm glad that they are all friends, but realistic friends that met just because they are neighbors. Feels real. The only character I am meh about so far is Russell (David Spade). Sure, he is funny...but he feels so 2D and so stereotypical. Hopefully they build his character more. *fingers crossed*

Medici: Masters of Florance

I just finished the first season of this. This show follows the Medici family during Cosimo's "reign" over his banker family in the 15th century. 

The show started a little slow and just okay. The characters were decent even though it bugged me how the older characters like Cosimo is supposed to be 40s-50s but they looks like they are in their 20s-30s with fake grey hair sprinkled on. Like really? Cast older people. SURE I find Cosimo and his brother smexy, but it is so young looking. 

Like other shows, the historical accuracy is off. However, it wasn't horrible like some unmentionable shows (*cough* Reign *cough*). Some historical inaccuracies, just enough on point where it wasn't gag-worthy. 

WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN TO YOUR WIFE COSIMOOO!!! Ugh! So frustrating. I get his annoyance at being forced to marry her, but she has DONE SO MUCH FOR HIM! BLEH! 

Sorry - 

After episode four, the show got really good and couldn't stop watching. They ended on an interesting note and I am curious to see what is going to happen next. I can't wait for season 2 to come out. I may need to read some books to hold me over until then. LOL.  I do recommend this those who like a pretty good historical fiction. I'll give this 4 stars.

TURN: Washington's Spies (Season 3)

I watched Season 1 & Season 2 a while back, so I don't remember too much...just the main stuff. Season 3 just came to Netflix and this is my next watch. I'll be starting episode one shortly. 

I do remember Season 2 left off on a HUGE cliff-hanger and had big expectation....*fingers crossed* hopefully this is just as good as the last season. Season 1 was meh....so I am worried. Wish me luck.
