Episode 7 did a 1.21; compare that to the 1.33 Episode 7 of Low Winter Sun did. We'll see what happens next, because by episode 8 it was pretty clear AMC wasn't going to renew LWS and the ratings for the last 3 episodes were terrible. AMC hasn't indicated they're giving up on Turn so we'll see if the ratings can tick back up.

I binge-watched the last 4 episodes. It got better to me. I hope it sticks around.

One thing I find amusing is every week on my DVR, I have an "Episode Recap" in my Turn folder. I guess every week they do a recap show of the previous week's episode. The weird part is it apparently first comes on at 5:00 AM CST on Thursdays. I have my DVR to record the first run episodes. I have no idea why AMC shows it first at that time; are there night owls or 3rd shirt workers that just have to have the recap at that time?

Epsidoe 8's ratings were up to a 1.39, which is the highest since Episode 3. That's a good sign. If the last 2 episodes can hold up, I think it will get renewed.

Watched the last 3 episodes from my DVR last night and really enjoyed them. Nice mention of Nathan Hale by Washington I was wondering how and if they would work that into the show.

It was good seeing an appearance by Stephen Root he is a great character actor. Hopefully we will see him some more!

Stephen Root is awesome. He can pretty much do anything.

Did you check out Halt and Catch Fire last week? It was a pretty solid first episode.

Also the second season of Rectify starts in a few weeks. It's a very good show and the first season is on Netflix Instant if you have that.

The season finale was excellent. The show itself is very good.

This is a well written and acted series on AMC. I can't wait for the new season to begin.

'Turn' Renewed for Season Two by AMC

'Turn' Renewed for Season Two by AMC


via press release:

AMC ORDERS SECOND SEASON OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR DRAMA “TURN”


Show Attracted Passionate Core Audience Averaging 2 Million Viewers

Per Week Over Initial Ten Episodes


NEW YORK, NY, June 23, 2014 – AMC today announced that it has ordered a second season of its Revolutionary War drama, “TURN,” which attracted a passionate core audience averaging 2 million viewers a week over its initial 10-episode run. “TURN” will return to AMC with 10 new episodes next spring. The network is also pairing encores of the entire first season of “TURN” with “Hell On Wheels” on Saturday nights this summer, to give new viewers a chance to discover and connect with the show.

“Craig Silverstein, Barry Josephson and a talented cast and crew delivered a truly distinctive and engaging premiere season. We look forward to continuing this revolutionary journey into season two,” said Charlie Collier, AMC president. “AMC and its creative partners have a track record of nurturing programs we collectively believe in, patiently growing viewership and engagement over time. With ‘TURN,’ once again, we dive in with our partners to build upon this very promising first season.”

Season ratings averages, live+3, across initial 10 episodes:

Total audience, 2 million viewers

Adults 25-54, 772,000 viewers

Adults 18-49, 709,000 viewers

On a very competitive night, the “TURN” finale delivered 2.2 million viewers, live+3, including 792,000 adults 25-54 and 706,000 adults 18-49.

A character-driven drama set during the Revolutionary War, “TURN” takes us behind the battlefront, to a shadow war fought by everyday heroes who vowed to keep their heroics a secret. Based on Alexander Rose’s book “Washington’s Spies,” “TURN” centers on Abe Woodhull, a farmer living in British-occupied Long Island, who bands together with a disparate group of childhood friends to form the Culper Ring. Together they risked their lives and honor, and turned against family and King, for a fight they believed in passionately, ultimately helping George Washington turn the tide of the Revolutionary War in favor of the rebels. Their daring efforts also revolutionized the art of espionage, giving birth to modern tradecraft as we know it today, along with all of the moral complexity that entails.

“TURN,” from AMC Studios, is executive produced by Craig Silverstein (“Nikita”), who also serves as showrunner, and Barry Josephson (“Bones,” Enchanted) from Josephson Entertainment. The series stars Jamie Bell as Abraham Woodhull, Seth Numrich as Ben Tallmadge, Daniel Henshall as Caleb Brewster, Heather Lind as Anna Strong, Kevin R. McNally as Judge Richard Woodhull, Meegan Warner as Mary Woodhull, Burn Gorman as Major Hewlett, Angus MacFadyen as Robert Rogers, JJ Feild as Major John André and Samuel Roukin as Captain Simcoe. “TURN” is distributed internationally by Entertainment One Television (eOne), through an exclusive multi-year output agreement.

Yep. I think it basically benefitted from Low Winter Sun failing and Halt and Catch Fire looking like it's going to be an even bigger bust. Judging by the fact they already gave Better Call Saul a second season, they're hurting to find a new hit.

While I'm glad it's survived, I'm a bit miffed now they cancelled The Killing since Turn's ratings were no better and IMHO TK is a much better show. I get TK got 3 years but still.

Anybody plan on watching tonight? I'm definitely looking forward to it. I think it's a 2 hour season premiere.

This season is off to a good start. Probably a little better than last year as well since a good chunk of telling the background story is out of the way.
