The Slice

Feels weird to root for Brits to get shot

Of course, it's just a TV drama. But if you are a loyal American who happens to be a bit of an Anglophile, watching AMC's Revolutionary War series "Turn" poses a small conflict.

If you actually like English people or at least English people on PBS, it can feel slightly strange to find yourself rooting for the Redcoats to get gunned down right and left.

It's just a show. You know the Americans are going to win. And naturally that is what you want to happen.

Still, it does not make you a traitor to the cause of independence to find yourself wishing the Brits would just get back in their boats and go home before we have to blow any more holes in them.
