    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was hoping I'd be wrong about this one, as it is such a rich subject for drama.

    I could moan about how the History Channel is betraying scholarship, but you really ought not to turn to TV for history lessons anyway. What you get with Sons of Liberty is rowdy fun that ends with us Americans overthrowing foreign oppression.
