(Phizz also referenced this under the Marie Antoinette thread)
Nigel saw the commercials for this last week. He said it looked good.

Watched 1st episode. I like it...so far. There are two actors I recognized: JJ Feild (Mr. Tilney!!--NORTHANGER ABBY) and Angus MacFadyen (Robert the Bruce--BRAVEHEART). Plenty of guys in uneeforms; a lot of scruffy ones, too.
I had to laugh at the beginning when one of the characters said 'they have spies everywhere'. I had a THE CROSSING moment because that is what Gen. Horatio Gates told Gen. Washington.
Yours Aye,
Diane

I watched it and liked it. I got a bit confused at the beginning trying to figure out all the characters. I am going to do a re-watch before the next episode to hopefully follow the story a bit better.

AMC Channel has a website if you want to check it out: trailers, interviews, etc. even some interactive games. Very helpful. Apparently, these were REAL people.

JJ Feild is the cutest thing this side of kittens. He was remarkably adorable in Death on the Nile

JJ Feild is the cutest thing this side of kittens. He was remarkably adorable in Death on the Nile Lydia He's definitely cute in Northanger Abbey - and you should see him in Naval uneeform. (Check out To The Ends Of The Earth for the latter. ) SF

I found his voice easy to distinguish, too.

Here is an FYI about the filming--it was filmed in Virginia in the areas between Richmond and Fredericksburg.
Looks like there will be A Duel on one of the upcoming episodes.
Yours Aye,
