I recentloy completed my third viewing of jiohn Adams. There is so much here subtle dialog and gesture that one viewing simply isn’t enough.

Adams is an interesting character, an interesting father. His behavior and demeanor with his children certainly leaves much to be desired. I credit his wife with un wavering patience to put up with him. Still–what this man accomplished is nothing short of amazing. I wonder what he would have thought of the movie?

this series deserves every award it has received. the acting is superb. riveting performances, that call to all of us as witnesses to the history of america’s independence.
if you did not pay attention to U.S. history in school, this series will inform you, delight you and educate you. amazing cast!
well done!

It is the most magnificent work on the creation of of our country and our founding fathers I have ever seen or read. Every public school should show this work in it’s entirety in every history class. However, they won’t. Public schools who are eagerly willing to teach sex anywhere, anytime with any one of any gender and at any age is wonderful and acceptable, they would shudder at the thought that children learn our country was founded not only on respect for the rights of every human being but also on an unwavering belief in God and/or a higher being. God and morality are now quaint, old-fashiioned words no longer to be uttered in a school room. If parents want their children to learn the true history of this country, buy the DVD and your whole family can enjoy it together.

John Adams — an outstanding, captivating, production. Paul Giammati and Laura Linney took my breath away. I felt I was there!

I think used as a learning tool it brings history into the present.

Congrats to HBO and I can already see the many awards for this show.

I’m not so sure I’m ready to sit and watch 3 elderly persons wither away. Does not make for good TV. Is it really necessary to watch Abigail, John and Thomas take their last breaths?

WOW! What a powerful piece of work and amazing in it’s acting. What are the chances they make kids in grade school watch this as they did an inconvenient lie. One based on the founding of this great country and the other……well the big lie. then there is the god thing that this country was founded upon……can’t have that in school!

An outstanding series which should be a catalyst to more about John and Abigail and the stories behind the stories of their families, friends, and patriots…..the production shows very well the trying times and the dedications of those who worked and died shaping this country and the freedom we enjoy.
