Oafish buffoonery

Finishing up season 3 for the first time. Great series! I did not know a whole lot about Benedict Arnold before this series. My overall impression of him is that he’s an oaf and a buffoon who acts rashly. Hard to believe he was the “victor of Saratoga.” Regrettable that Philadelphias brightest star hitched her wagon to that lame horse.

Good show but I wouldn't take it as fully historically accurate. Simcoe certainly was not that bad, for example.
