In Part 3 Of John Adams John played by Paul Giamatti and his son John Quincy Adams Travel to France during the war to seek alliances with the foreign nations. On The way there There ship battles a British Frigate. While he is there he meets up with Benjamin Franklin played by Tom Wilkinson. After His meet in France John Adams Unfourtuantly becomes ill and is to become better in part 4. This show just keeps on getting better and better with a phenomenal performance with Paul Giamatti. Sadly Laura Linney was not in this part very much but when she is she is really really good.

Not Rated.

1hr 8min/68min.
