I started watching this on television but didn't have time to sit for three nights when it was on. It's a very compelling, wonderfully re-created story of our independence from England. This is an excellent movie and I wish schools could play it for our young citizens. It's very well done and for us history buffs that think we know it all, this film really brings the whole thing to life. Buy it!

I was actually expecting more of a Historical accounting from the History Channel! This is actually how Hollywood types view this part of American History, it is a Historically inaccurate accounting of this period and Highly Dramatized! The only thing that saves it is the sets and depiction of life at this period of our history, not the events as they happened.

Absolutely loved this mini-series, I didnt want it to end! It was very well done and I think the acting was excellent as well. I am also a newly minted fan of TURN: Washington Spies and since that season has ended I was looking for something more. This show focused on a different aspect of the period and was very interesting. I actually researched some of the scenes in this show and they appeared to be fairly accurate - with some "creative license" added of course. But the show was fantastic, I wish there was 10 or 15 more episodes!
While I think it took some artistic liberties, it did convey well the overall ebb and flow of the Boston area patriots plight leading to the American Revolution. My gggg grandfather, Luther Holland, "..answered the Lexington alarm of April 18, 1775", so it helped explain the Sons of Liberty's concerns and the extreme risks taken.

Awesome. Very educational and should be shown in every history and or sociology class in high school. It show the real history and strength of the founding fathers.
