Product Description: John Adams is a sprawling HBO miniseries event that depicts the extraordinary life and times of one of Americas least understood and most underestimated founding fathers: the second President of the United States John Adams. Starring Paul Giamatti (Sideways Cinderella Man HBOs American Spendor) in the title role and Laura Linney (You Can Count on Me Kinsey) as Adams devoted wife Abigail John Adams chronicles the extraordinary life journey of one of the primary shapers of our independence and government whose legacy has often been eclipsed by more flamboyant contemporaries like George Washington Thomas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin. Set against the backdrop of a nations stormy birth this sweeping miniseries is a moving love story a gripping narrative and a fascinating study of human nature. Above all at a time when the nation is increasingly polarized politically this story celebrates the shared values of liberty and freedom upon which this country was built.Running Time: 501 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 883929020065 Manufacturer No: 1000038820

Customer Reviews
John would be pleased!
I have long been an Adams fan since watching the PBS series The Adams Chronicles in the 70's. The books by Joseph Ellis (Founding Brothers, Passionate Sage, American Sphinx, and At the Creation) served to further deepen my esteem and appreciation for our second President, warts and all. The HBO mini-series John Adams is an outstanding portrayal and interpretation of David McCullough novel, bring John, his wife Abigail, and the times in which they lived and struggled vividly to life.

Well done John Adams
Amazing production that gets the history right. Acting, costumes, scenery, extras are all terrific. I enjoyed the extra about the making of the series and the interview with John McCulloch. The ability to watch each episode on successive nights was great. Glad I bought it.

Had to watch it again
I'd already seen this on HBO, so I knew what to expect. This is a great miniseries, and with Amazon the price is always right. Thanks again Amazon, I'd buy anything from your site.

Great Series!
I watched this on HBO and loved it. I purchased the DVD set for my dad for fathers day. He liked it so much he watched the entire series over a weekend. The acting is great and it really follows the biography well. Enjoy!

John Adams
This is an EXCELLENT series! Not only is it well acted, it is historically correct--something that's a rarity nowadays. Anyone who enjoys history, loves our country or desires to know what all went into the founding of our country will want to see this series.
