John Adams Mini Series Review

Oh What joy, watching the story of John Adams unfold. Brilliant acting across the board  from Paul Giamatti as John Adams, Laura Linney as Mrs. Adams up Tom Wilkinson as Ben Franklin.

Just never knew the dude had played such an immense role in the forming of the United States of America. It felt kind of surreal watching John Adams, George Washington (Colonel then - in Episode 2), Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson in the same room addressing each other and congress.

Definitely one of the better mini-series to come out in a long while. 

Thumbs up across the board for cinematography, production, costume, acting and directing.

Five out of five stars.
