| John Adams Miniseries- This is a very very good series.
This is not the story of great men being great, it is the story of a human man, with normal flaws and doubts, being thrust into a situation where he, and his fellows, rise to the occasion--even as they wish they did not have to. Even the men who you wind up disliking are not villains--they are people. They have their own thoughts and concerns, and are not "bad guys".
This is not a spectacle. It is not explosions and violent conflict portrayed larger than life. It is, rather, the process by which the Founding Fathers pushed, and drug, each other to recognize the need to break free of the Crown.
If you like history, or human drama, this one is one to buy. And, HBO is to be commended for brining this story to the screen in this miniseries. |
