Excellent submitted by wendylv on August 10, 2015, 1:17pm When kids complain that history is boring, this story is the kind of thing they should be learning about instead. The series is an adaptation of "Washington's Spies" by Alexander Rose which tells the little-known story of the Culper Ring, four childhood friends (including a woman!) who became secret agents for the American Revolution. Although the true story is packed with drama, the adaptation appears to be guilty of tweaking the facts a bit (love triangle, anyone?) to heighten the entertainment value. Still, the storyline, acting, and production are excellent and you will be eagerly awaiting the next episode.
