Time to turn on HBO, if only to wash the taste of today's political theatre outta my mind. What a terrific 7 part series, chronicling the life of John Adams:
"...this remarkable historical figure, a man whose fiercely independent spirit, reverence for the rule of law and commitment to personal liberty profoundly influenced the values on which our country was founded.
The miniseries also explores the extraordinary relationship between Adams and Abigail, his wife of 54 years, a partnership regarded as one of the most moving love stories in American history."
Now that's what I call an extraordinary husband and wife team. Interesting idea, that it was even made, showcasing this less than flashy guy, surrounded by all the cool ones who took away the spotlight; TJ, Ben, George, John Quincy and the gang.
Of course, anytime Tom Hollander's in the cast, I'm happy.
