In his thorough review of Thurston, Jeff Siniawsky of WebVee Guide writes “At its heart, Thurston is a story of female empowerment.”  Siniawsky then goes on to discuss the various powerful women (and men) in Thurston and concludes, “A terrific story is unfolding, one that is well written and well acted.  The location was beautiful and the cinematography showed it off while still depicting some of the harsher aspects of life in Thurston in 1881.  We’re looking forward to Season 3 to see where Ms. O’Sullivan is going to take us.”  Read the full article at  http://webveeguide.com/reviews/2014/03/thurston .
