Never look out of sight

How you look at it, John Adams was an inconspicuous figure in his generation of the founding fathers of the United States. Even if he was president, even if his son was president. Compared to Washington Jefferson Franklin Hamilton, he really has no personality. Even his younger brother, Samuel Adams, is probably more famous than him in America today, because the beer named after Samuel Adams is good wine.

But author David McCullough took the little man out of the crowd and stood up, and this biography remembers the Pulitzer Prize. The HBO show won a Golden Globe.

From the score to the lines to the acting, there are so many reasons to recommend this show. Just one note: whether you're interested in the history of the Revolutionary War or not, I highly recommend this show. See how decisions are made through constant debate and constant compromise in a life-or-death juncture. Instead of "It's all this time, you can still make irresponsible remarks. Unity is over everything!"

    If you watch this mini-series after understanding the history of the founding of the United States, you will be even more shocked by the sophistication of HBO's works.

John Adams quotes

  • John Adams: Thomas Jefferson survives.

  • John Adams: My thoughts are so clear to me... each one takes perfect shape within my mind. But when I speak, when I offer them to others, they seem to lose all definition.
