Despite unflinching bursts of violence... the suspense is tempered by the setting and a realization how long the war will drag on, transforming some of the caper aspects into Mission: Impossible (the series, not the movies) in powered wigs and red coats.

Turn could become a far more fun show in its second season thanks to the appearance of Owain Yeoman as Benedict Arnold, a character that best represents Turn's opportunity to turn foregone conclusions into riveting television.

The production design is even more handsome. The CGI-enhanced scenes of New York and its harbor are particularly striking... And most of the performances remain entertaining in their arch way.

Season 2 is leaps and bounds better. The main reason is an expansion of scope.

As lavish and well acted as ever and promising more intricate intrigues.

Turn is back with a new subtitle, a generally quicker pace, and a greater sense of mission.

Even the accents... promote the sense that we are peeking behind the curtain of life as it really happened, not watching another gimcrack re-creation of the bandaged head, flute and limp sort.

This remains an intelligent, well-made drama that wants to get most of the history right, or at least not adulterate it too much.

I appreciate the care Turn is taking to show how a war is made up of people with varying degrees of heroism and evilness.
