HBO-Mini-Series John Adams

tv_hbo_john_adams_mini_series

HBO - like the BBC - is one of the great producers of astonishing stories, series and movies. It’s newest mini series “John Adams” is simply amazing - or at least the first two episodes so far.

Paul Giamatti is simply breath taking as John Adams - and Laura Linney as his wife simply blows me away.

The script is well written, the dialogues intriguing and one gets a pretty good feeling how hard it must have been for the so called founding fathers to break away from the British Empire and start their experiment called the United States of America.

Highly recommended!

This is good stuff. I’m waiting for the next two installments. One of the things that kind of surprised me is the character of George Washington came across as quite presumptuous, showing up at the convention in his general’s uniformed before ever having been commissioned.
And yet, after having read a little more about Washington it was really totally in character for all of his exploits that had led up to this moment.

@RichMc: Thanks for that Washington bit. I am not too deep into your founding fathers - although I think they were a rare breed of intelligent and insightful guy at the right place at the right time.

I am a big fan of Thomas Payne. Ever read some of his stuff?
