Great mini-series about Adams. And as a history buff on the American Revolution and the Founders, it was pretty accurate. Everyone should watch it.

The scene where John Adams goes to court to visit King George post-revolution was incredible.

Just put on episode 2, I really like the part where Dr Warren says he stopped the Brits from taking the guns and powder in Concord and are going to chase the bastards back into Boston.

Sounds like something we need to do now, chase the gun grabbing liberals back into their sanctuary cities. When did Massachusetts people get so weak, they use to be the badasses of the States.

The scene where John Adams addresses King George post war is fun.



And extremely accurate, historically speaking. I have David McCullough's book which the series is based on. Great read and I would highly recommended it for anyone who enjoyed the HBO series. The chapter he wrote on their meeting was based on multiple-consistent historical sources of the account.

Laura Linney as Abigail Adams is one of the best portrayals of an historical figure.

Prove me wrong.

She was amazing. The entire series is incredible. A must watch
