Pretty wild to visit the Townsend family burial ground in-person. Up on this hill is also where John Graves Simcoe and his Queen’s Rangers established fortifications with a plaque from the historical society to commemorate it.

Why is John Graves Simcoe the best character in this entire series

The evil in this bastard's heart is so borderline saturday morning cartoonish that it fucking destroys me with some of his lines of dialouge. Especially in Episode 3

>WELL WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR TALLY HO LADS ITS OFF TO NEW YORK

Is portrayal of John Graves Simcoe accurate?

Canadian here. I enjoyed this series very much having only a foggy idea of the events of the American Revolution. One aspect that caught my interest was the portrayal of John Graves Simcoe who is a notable villain in the show. I knew little about him other than he later was considered a distinguished citizen in Upper Canada after the war. My question is: Was the Simcoe in "Turn" an accurate portrayal of who he really was?
