Looks interesting.

Can't wait, love the colonial time period and this looks awesome.

As a side note, I always wanted to start a punk band where we dressed up in colonial garb and sang songs about American independence from England.

No comments yet? I thought it was really well done, exciting, and interesting. Beautifully shot, great sets and costumes, well acted. I'll be sticking around for the long haul.

 

[southpaw24]

They definitely set up well for the following episodes and I'll be watching

 

[CarlWinslow]

Yeah, I'm hooked. It would have had to have been awful for me not to like it given my appreciation for the setting but yeah... Enjoyed it immensely.

In the "hey its that guy!" column, the leader of the mercenary crew was Robert The Bruce from Braveheart

 

[The Press Express]

I liked it, exited for next Sunday

Pretty damn good pilot. AMC needs a solid new show to (somewhat) fill the Breaking Bad and soon Mad Men voids, and this very well could be it. I'm a big fan of period dramas like Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, The Americans etc.

Surprising that this era hasn't really been hit in a tv series before.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Will try maybe.

 

[BlackStar]

I liked it, interesting show.

 

[committedindian86]

I really enjoyed the pilot, should be interesting to see where they take it.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

I like it. Not sure if it will get good ratings.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I like it. Not sure if it will get good ratings.

It went up against Game of Thrones. No way it got good ratings.

 

[sheed36]

I watched episode 1 and thought it was pretty good.

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

It went up against Game of Thrones. No way it got good ratings.

2.1 million viewers. Not great but I get the feeling word of mouth will help here, especially as its paired with Mad Men starting next week.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

It went up against Game of Thrones. No way it got good ratings.

GoT is not a top 20 show, because most people don't have HBO. The Academy of Country Music Awards were watched by 14.2 million. The NCAA Final: Kentucky/Wisconsin was watched by 10.4 million. Scandal was watched by 9.1 million. GoT was watched by 6.6 million. The season finale of House of Lies was watched by 731,000.

Honestly found it pretty bland. I dunno, maybe because I'm not American I'm not really being drawn in with the Revolutionary War stuff. I mean, it's not a bad show by any stretch but so far it's not really doing it for me. Meh. We'll see what's going on next Sunday, maybe I'll give it another shot.

Not a patch on Mad Men, Breaking Bad or Walking Dead so far of course.

Period pieces are tough, especially if you have little to no interest in the time period or the series of loosely based historical events. A father being a loyalist and son being drawn in as a colonial spy is interesting to me, but I can see others not being interested at all.

 

[Rob Brown]

I enjoyed the pilot. Will definitely continue to watch.

 

[jw2]

I have trouble distinguishing the different Red Coats from one another.

Found this on Netflix (Canada - not sure about US).

Really enjoying it.

That would be some bad ass stuff

Been eagerly awaiting season 2 since that season 1 finale.
