John Adams

Starring Paul Giamatti (Sideways, Cinderella Man, HBO's American Splendor) in the title role and Laura Linney (You Can Count On Me, Kinsey) as Adams' devoted wife Abigail, John Adams chronicles the extraordinary life journey of one of the primary shapers of America's independence and government, whose legacy has often been eclipsed by more flamboyant contemporaries like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and Benjamin Franklin. Set against the backdrop of a nation's stormy birth, this sweeping miniseries is a moving love story, a gripping narrative, and a fascinating study of human nature. Above all, at a time when the nation is increasingly polarised politically, this story celebrates the shared values of liberty and freedom upon which this country was built.

Starring David Morse, Justin Theroux, Paul Giamatti, Sarah Polley, Tom Wilkinson, Rufus Sewell, Danny Huston, Laura Linney

    Excellent

    For anyone with an interest in learning more about American history (and I am a novice, married to an American, so needed to get up to speed) this is fantastic, although a little long winded at times
