Has anyone seen the commercials for this on the history channel?  I think it looks like it is going to be REALLY REALLY good!  If you are into that sort of thing!!

Check it out, anyone else pumped

hopefully its not a warped interpretation of the truth to fit todays script

What a piece of crap! So far it's been a 4 hour commercial for Sam Adams beer that is loosely based on history.

Thanks for that Og. I'm only 25 minutes into the first episode and think I will just dump it.

I like it. Just finished the second episode. It peaks interest again into that time. I wished i paid more attention in high school.

Rick, did you watch John Adams, the HBO series from a few years ago? That was really good.

I know it's historically inaccurate, but I still find it entertaining. I watched the first two nights so I am going to finish it up tonight.

I watched very littlE. I may have to Netflix it.

One positive thing about the show is the fact that it shows how our forefathers were the citizens armed against an oppressive government. These days the antis want to turn the 2nd amendment into meaning standing militia as part of the government and disregard the fact that it really means we the people. Anything that shows citizens and arms in a positive light is a good thing in my opinion. What holds true across time is control the information,disarm the masses and make them think the government or regime will provide for you is a ploy as old as man. (Be it Romans,Nazis,communism or in this case the British).JMOP

I iust finished watching John Adams last night great series. Watched it over the weekend

I enjoyed it, but yeah you could tell Sam Adams lagers paid for it

I watched it, it was entertaining. I DVR'ed the 3 nights so i could FF through all the commercials. Although i realize this is not accurate historically 100%. At least they didn't make the Patriots out to be terrorists, like common core history is now teaching the youth in public schools.

Glad you enjoyed it Mikey. I watched it when it was on HBO and really liked it.

 

It was based on a recent book of John Adam's life.

agree, it's awful

I totally agree! Especially in one episode the colonists can't get their hands on any gun powder because the British government has bought it all making it near impossible for them to get any. Hmmm ...sound familiar??

True story: they are now reaching kids that our founding fathers were just white devil slave masters that created the constitution and bill of rights to protect their wealth from the British crown. WTF!?!? How about they fought a bloody revolution to throw off tyranny and setup our new government to protect us from having to do it again??? I keeps saying: they have to villainize the founding fathers, and once that step is complete they can piecemeal strip out the parts of the constitution and bill of rights that protect our freedom and liberty!!

I don't care if I have to pump gas at night in Newark or push shopping carts to pay for it, my children will never go to a public school.

I'm watching the first episode now. It does have a lot of commercials, but is otherwise entertaining.

I watch from the History app on my phone. I don't know what happened last night but I was watching episode 3 and it kept skipping the commercials!

It's sitting on my DVR right now. I've been waiting to hear opinions - I was concerned History Channel would completely screw this up, like they did with Vikings. 

I don't think they completely screwed up the Vikings?? I haven't started season2 yet though.

I thought the costumes and sets were very good and I don't have too much of a problem with them using dramatic license to make the story more exciting. They are making entertainment not a documentary.

 

What did bother me was the total disregard for the way the colonists would have spoken. I am damn sure Ben Franklin never used the phrase "bat shit crazy" ever.

I agree lol
