John Adams (HBO Miniseries)

The settings and filming of this piece seem to put you there. The acting skills of all involved is of the highest qualtiy. This movie is an education for most and a treat for history buffs.

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. My husband and I read the John Adams book by David McCullough and this follows it very good although there are some parts missing. You need several days to watch the video, but it is absolutely wonderful! The actors playing John Adams and Abigail Smith Adams should receive an Academy Award! They were exquisite. Tom Hanks was the producer and it really showed his expertise. Anyone who likes history, and our American history especially needs to see this video.

This video is a must-see for all persons who wish to see United States history come alive. With few instances of artistic license, it stays close to David McCullough's historical work, and informs as it entertains.

Exceptional delivery service (to Australia) and exceptional John Adams series DVDs that we could not stop watching once started! Got some sleep at last!

I never realized what an important figure John Adams was in the birth of our country until I viewed this DVD. This film definitely showed John's contributions to our American history. I recommend this to anyone, especially those who love historical personalities. The music score was excellent. Highly recommended. Prepare to be enlightened.
