I don't have a TV in my house but occasionally when I watch one at someone else's house I am appalled at what I see on TV; especially the history channel. When did the History Channel stop being about history? With the recent passing of 4th of July Weekend, I would like to start this thread with some quotes from an article about the History Channel's SONS OF LIBERTY
The previews give the feeling that it’s a dramatization of real, historical events, with an air of credibility...Understandably, one might get the impression from these sneak peeks that this is some sort of docu-drama. Well, it’s not that at all.
It is historical fiction, not a documentary... As historical fiction (actually, it’s more of an alternate history) the miniseries is very successful.
While it plays well for those who are in on the secret, if you’re looking for facts about the Sons of Liberty or information about the War for American Independence, don’t plan on discovering those facts in this miniseries; you won’t find them... With this quick guide, readers and viewers of the show will hopefully have a better grasp of the content, the way it has been altered
