Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Is anyone watching this? Tonight is part 2 of the 3 part series and is on right now. I have to say it is an amazing series so far. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys history, especially how our country was born through the courageous acts of orderinary citizens. Is anyone else enjoying this as much as I am? It really provokes a lot of emotion from me as my family were some of the first colonists here before we declared independence from the tyrannical reigns of the British Empire.
Compenstine Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I'll have to wait for it to hit Netflix, I no longer have cable or satellite, I'm a cord cutter. Sounds like something I would like. I am related to John and Priscilla Alden (Mayflower) as well as Giles Cory (Salem Witch Trial). I can't recall the relation at the moment, but also related to the founder or Harrisburg PA. One of the strange parts about Giles Cory... When I was a kid I had a nightmare that I was him being crushed after seeing a movie on the witch trials in grade school. It wasn't till my early 40s that I found out about the relation.
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 Just finished the second episode and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Left off at such an intense moment. Its filmed like a movie as opposed to a documentary that has commentary. The acting is excellent. Cool information about the relations. I'll have to double check with my grandfather about my ancestry and get back to you. Interesting bit about your witch trials dream. Very interesting indeed. Compenstine 1

T-Bone Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Never watched the shows but have read plenty of books on how they weren't career politicians but rather regular citizens who served and then went back to their regular lives. Edited January 28, 2015 by T-Bone
T-Bone Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Here's some good stuff without commercial interruption and sans some of the fictionalization of what really happened... George Washington: His Excellency Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 1776 American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies in the Founding of the Republic Passionate Sage: The Character and Legacy of John Adams Real wars for real reasons.

Bebop Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Just caught a bit of Part 3 last night. Had to tear myself away so as not to spoil the ending. Set it to record all three parts Friday. Looks really good!
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 I was feeling sick and fell asleep for the last part of the third episode but it was getting so good. Will finish today. Glad you saw part of that Bebop. Its very gripping. Hope you enjoy as much as I did
gag8tor Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Only got to watch bits and pieces of it. It was very interesting. Hopefully it will be back on again and I'll record it.
Bebop Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 All three parts are playing tomorrow night in my area. Marathon!
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 If its playing where ever your located catch it from the beginning. Its probably one if the best new shows I've seen in ages.
gag8tor Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Dammitt. Just realized it was on again tonight. I'm subscribing to this thread so if anyone knows when it will be on again please post so I can record it? Thanks all.
Bebop Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Ok. I marathoned the whole thing last night with the wife. I enjoyed it very much. If I was being super critical, it was a little "modernized" for my taste. But it wasn't a documentary it was historical fiction which was fine and we ate it up.
T-Bone Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Hey Bippity... Would you call it more in line with a Deadwood or a How The States Were Made type thing?
Bebop Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Well it starts out with a rousing chase with the Brits after Sam Adams who is doing a parkour kind of thing through the streets of Boston. Then it cuts to a Sam Adams beer commmercial - I kid you not! Def not Deadwood but enjoyable. T-Bone 1
