"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. She is wise and kind, but also is franc and honest.
The first two episodes are so incredibly accurate and indulging, that I feel like I am in the center of the American Revolution.
The script is brilliant. People speak the way colonials spoke. Adams lines just get better as the show goes on. HBO has truly made a brilliant masterpiece. A must watch for any history buff.
