John Adams is one of the best mini-series ever. The writing, acting, directing, costuming, set design... EVERYTHING is top notch. It's not wonder it won so many Emmy's.

First of all, I do not currently own the set. I have only watched it on HBO. My wife and I absolutley love this 7 episode set. We watched it on HBO and may buy the set when it comes out. Regardless, the story that it tells is classic and deserves at least a shot by any doubter. Paul Giamatti is a Grade A actor that does a fantastic job. The thing that most impressed me is how close this show followed history. Also, I couldn't get over how close the actors looked to the real images of our founding fathers. Honestly, I could not be any more satisfied with how this 7 episode set played out.

Based on the Pulitzer-Prize winning book means something. That same author wrote 1776 about George Washington, and his attention to detail is astounding. Paul Giamatti performs the role of John Adams with such precision that at times, you wonder how close to reality he comes. Laura Linney makes an incredible addition with her role as Abigail, and the interaction between husband and wife is superb. All in all, easily one of the best HBO specials to ever reach DVD and should be in every DVD collection, even for the history-challenged.
What's great about it: Epic Storyline, In-Depth Details, Quality Actors

I was just simply curious about what isn't historically accurate. It'd make your review a little more helpful. Thank you for the review though. I'm just curious since I'm debating on buying it soon.

Best historical series ever. If you want to know how America actually came to be the diverse democracy we are, this is a must see. We started out to watch 1 section an evening and ended up watching 2-3. Incredible program.

If you didn't see this on HBO then I highly recommend you buy it when it comes out on DVD! If you like to learn about American history and our Founding Fathers then you would absolutely enjoy this 7-part series featuring our first Vice President and second President. It portrays John Adams as a man, a husband, a father, a delegate, and as a politician. It also accents how crucial and influential his wife, Abigail Adams, was in his life. You will absolutely love this!! I got excited everytime I watched it!
What's great about it: Very well captured and portrayed
