I can tell from your statement that you know about as much about American history as you probably know about fornacating. It's better to be thought a fool than to open once mouth and remove all doubt. God Bless the United States of America!

Howcome a fair, compassionate, honest, fair person with moral values and uncompromising integrity is seen or viewd as weak? If all politions had John Adams quality's the United States of America would not be at the mercy of corporate organized fraud and scandalous greed.

Jeffereson wrote the Declaration because Adams recemmended him to. But it was Adams that fought for its support, it was Adams who did the dirty work-but history seems to give Jefferson all the credit. An admirable man. I wanna see this. And I hope they do this for each of the founders.

Well made series but JA was a loyalist when the British ruled then quickly followed behind American revolutionaries when they were the power. The guy was was a total wind tester and this series really does a good job sugar coating a politician. You should read the real history not some persons opinions. Read the Anti Federalist papers and Federalist papers and the actual historical accounts of what TJ and JA did when they were in office. Movie is good, but it is sensationalized.

Yel -- just give a few words -- please -- on what TJ and JA did when in office.
I thought the Series showed Adams with a lot of warts -- for one thing, he was pussy whiped. Abigail ruled him actually, she cut him off when he wasn't doing what she wanted.

Yes, do it for each of founders. Good idea.
Adams would have been nothing without Jefferson or his wife. Adams could be egotistical and petty -- his nutty Alien and Sedition act. By the way, the actors doing Jefferson and Washington did a much better job. I don't think they picked the right guy for Jefferson. JMO.

Leftist? Hell,everthing in the media is right wing these days! The men who founded this country would be called "liberals" by Bush and company. The GOP have destroyed this country and are working on destroying the world. Wake up AmeriKKKa!

On the one hand, I deeply want to see this (if only I had HBO!), but on the other, I'm terrified of how the book will translate to television.
Still... Adams. :D

It's a great translation. Comes out on DVD June 10th. The author was very happy with the series apparently.

HBO has done it again. They have given us some of the best TV ever. The John Adams series was outstanding. Tom Hanks IS THE MAN! Giamatti and Linney, you were perfectly cast and gave excellent performances.
Adams STRUGGLED ... ( 2 months ago by sam13211)
Adams STRUGGLED with the Alien and Seditions Act and was very reluctant to sign it. You have to take the context of the times into consideration, we had just finished a war with Great Britain and were on the verge of a war with France. We had no standing army and barely a ship to call a navy. So you don't think Giamatti was right for the role? And you don't think they chose the right guy for Jefferson? Man you are on crack. Thank God you weren't in charge of casting for the series.

Giamatti is not the person you'd imagine as a leader, but he does look a lot like John Adams, and in those times, it didn't matter what a person looked like. This series is fairly faithful to the excellent biography it is based on. Sometimes, several events are compressed into one for the sake of the drama (for example, the sea voyage with his son John Quincy Adams) and others are left out entirely, but HBO has created a wonderful view of one of our founding fathers.

if your concern is that the actors are not proper for the role, perhaps you should read the works and notes of john adams himself or any founding father. like always, the book is better than any video.
