I don't have much time to watch TV anymore, even though previous posts might suggest otherwise, so I have been careful to ensure that my time is spent watching worthwhile shows. John Adams, which was a HBO 7 part mini-series film is my new favorite.
It's based on the book I'm sure you've all seen by David McCullough. It's definitely worth renting and a wonderful glimpse into the life of and struggles of our nations early years. It is a little long, but I have to say that I was blown away and hardly noticed the time. I can't ever recall a production so historically accurate and so thorough and yet so engrossing and personally moving. The music is incredible, the costuming unbelievable and the story is impeccable.
Highly recommended.
Jake.
ReplyDeleteI am interested in checking out the John Adams series. I enjoyed the things I have read about him and Abigail.
In addition, I to am a flight of the concord fan.
Funny, when I first saw the pictures, I thought you were reading instead of watching tv. Should have known better, I guess. :)
