  Outstanding.

  This is the kind of series that's essentially made for someone like me - a massive history buff. Like Rome before it, HBO has done a tremendous job of capturing a moment in time in a way that a film simply can't.

  John Adams Review by Maureen Ryan, Chicago Tribune

  Founding father John Adams isn't your typical HBO protagonist. His greatest failing is not a penchant for murder, adultery or multiple wives. He's not even much of a narcissist. Now that's shocking.

About John Adams (the person)

John Adams, Jr. (October 30, 1735 - July 4, 1826) was the second President of the United States (1797 - 1801). He also served as America's first Vice President (1789 - 1797). He was defeated for re-election in the "Revolution of 1800" by Thomas Jefferson. Adams was also the first President to reside in the newly-built White House in Washington, D.C., which was completed in 1800.

Adams, a sponsor of the American Revolution in Massachusetts, was a driving force for independence in 1776. Jefferson called him the "Colossus of Independence". He represented the Continental Congress in Europe. He was a major negotiator of the eventual peace treaty with Great Britain, and chiefly responsible for obtaining the loans from the Amsterdam money market necessary for the conduct of the Revolution. His prestige secured his two elections as Washington's Vice President and his election to succeed him. As President, he was frustrated by battles inside his own Federalist party against a faction led by Alexander Hamilton, but he broke with them to avert a major conflict with France in 1798, during the Quasi-War crisis. He became the founder of an important family of politicians, diplomats and historians, and in recent years his achievements have received greater recognition.
