It's based on David McCullough's excellent book and stars Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney as John and Abigail Adams. Also starring is Tom Wilkinson, one of the great underrated actors of our time, David Morse, and Rufus Sewell. Tom Hanks' Playtone produced it. Don't miss it! <a href="http://www.hbo.com/films/johnadams/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.hbo.com/films/johna dams/index.html</a>

Originally Posted By whistler I caught the first two episodes, and so far I really am enjoying it. With a mini-series, they can take so much more time to develope the characters and storyline. Looking forward to the next one.

In the "Making of" specials they spoke with David McCollough about the level of accuacy and he has been very pleased. Also, the soundtrack is very good.
