Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney head up the cast of this HBO hit "John Adams". From the colonial deterrence to the Revolutionary War and beyond, I truly felt absorbed in the plot and drama throughout the entire miniseries. Mr. Giamatti has never disappointed me before in a movie or miniseries (Cinderella Man, Sideways, The Illusionist--he even helped make Lady in the Water passable) and his portrayal of John Adams was equally satisfying. Director Tom Hooper did a fantastic job as well--a purchase worth every penny.
What's great about it: Fantastic feel to it thanks to the great cast and soundtrack
What's not so great: Can feel just a little dragged on from time to time
