I have a great admiration for Adams. I also feel the same for Ben Franklin, of whom I readily feel may just be reincarnated in myself.... not because of this mini series, but rather because of his beliefs and my lineage (traces back to his blood).
But Giamatti... he portrays Adams quite well, and the actress of his wife doubly so. Ben's character is also played quite well on screen, very much feels like the Ben I've come to know through history. A wise ass, a trait that runs deep in my family.
This is shaping up to be a great mini series so far... and couldn't have come at a better time, a time where everyone seems to have forgotten the foundations our great nation was founded upon.
:thumbsup: to this series.

This series is supposedly based on McCullough's book, which didn't really show Franklin in a great light.

BTW, why did his family infect themselves with SARS?

I watched 2 shows, back to back, and I thought it was just boring.
I can't stand Paul Giamatti. He looks like a pig cartoon character or something. He should be in comedies... not historical representations.

It was kind of boring, but offered some insight into the solicitation of support from britain's "enemies".

It was a little slow, but I think it might be setting the stage for some events in later episodes.
Did anyone else get the strong feeling that the French Revolution was a good thing watching that last episode? Those fops really did deserve beheading.
