John Adams is a sprawling HBO miniseries event that depicts the extraordinary life and times of one of Americas least understood and most underestimated founding fathers: the second President of the United States John Adams. 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.Running Time: 501 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 883929020065 Manufacturer No: 1000038820

Summary: Great Series!
Comment: I watched this on HBO and loved it. I purchased the DVD set for my dad for fathers day. He liked it so much he watched the entire series over a weekend. The acting is great and it really follows the biography well. Enjoy!

Summary: John Adams miniseries DVD
Comment: Wonderfully done; informative & entertaining. A strong choice for viewing in classrooms across America.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A well done, gritty view of our history
Comment: This well done adaptation of David McCullough's biography of the same title leaves out a few scenes that would have lent a bit more insight into the early years of our republic. However the verisimiltude is outstanding, right down to bad teeth in old age for people living in that time. This mini series should be required viewing for all Intro to American History classes, both in high school and in college. Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney become their roles, no higher praise is possible in my opinion.Russian Amerika
