  4. Featured review. 10/10. Brilliant. "John Adams", the HBO series is by far the best Colonial film or series I have ever seen. Paul Giamatti captivates viewers with a super performance. He has really given me a new respect for John Adams. Laura Linney plays Abigail Adams beautifully.

  5. The miniseries' best move in demythologizing the founding of America is John Adams himself. Giamatti makes him an intelligent but pugilistic workaday politician. Full Review | May 22, 2018

  6. John Adams is a wonderful, well-acted, well-written period series. It covers many important historical events and people, and does most of them pretty good justice. It is a bit slow and focused on dialogue, which I understand will not be everyone's favorite, but I quite like it. My one complaint is the excessive use of handheld/shaky-cam.
