Starring Paul Giamatti (Sideways, Cinderella Man, HBOs American Spendor) in the title role and Laura Linney (You Can Count on Me, Kinsey) as Adams devoted wife Abigail, John Adams chronicles the extraordinary life journey of one of the primary shapers of our independence and government, whose legacy has often been eclipsed by more flamboyant contemporaries like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin. Set against the backdrop of a nations stormy birth, this sweeping miniseries is a moving love story, a gripping narrative, and a fascinating study of human nature. Above all, at a time when the nation is increasingly polarized politically, this story celebrates the shared values of liberty and freedom upon which this country was built. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

 Great showJul 22, 2010
A great show and the DVD has several interesting and educational features the airing on HBO didn't, including a brief appearance by David McCollough, the author of the book.
OutstandingJul 20, 2010
As a teacher, I show parts of the first and second episodes in my classroom. I only wish I had time to show the entire thing.
There are departures from the McCulloch book, but any screenplay would have to be quite heavily adapted from all the material he put forth.
An amazing miniseries. Every American should watch it.
Well DoneJul 19, 2010
We enjoyed the miniseries John Adams very much and did not want it to end. Movie-makers kept to the book and history well. Computer work is excellent and adds to the grandeur. The acting is top notch. The added features are very good. Turn on the feature "Facts are stubborn things" for added background info.
History comes alive!Jul 06, 2010
This is an outstanding mini-series on the birth of our nation and our founding fathers.I highly recommend this to all parents to make this part of their video library for their children.

John Adams miniseries (HBO)Jun 17, 2010
I first rented this from our local public library not knowing what to expect, and I liked it so much I went on Amazon.com to purchase it! I think everyone ought to see this remarkably well-made series on the life and times of our third President of the United States of America, John Adams. I was impressed by the quality of acting, and attention to detail of early colonial America that was portrayed in this film. Every history teacher in the U.S. ought to own a copy to show to students in their history classrooms, it is simply that great!
