While our new nation was suffering attacks from both within and without, John Adams had a vision of a nation of liberty and justice for all. He guided his peers--General George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson--in setting the values and agenda for a glorious, free America. Adams and his wife Abigail refined these ambitious democratic ideals, and their partnership became one of the most moving love stories in American history.

John Adams. Disc 1 submitted by ginnyb60 on July 7, 2011, 11:23am Excellent documentary; a bit graphic at times for the sensitive (war scene, small pox inoculation, tar & feathering)

John Adams: Great acting (4 stars) submitted by charliebrown on July 3, 2013, 11:45am Be sure to watch it with the on-screen historical guide turn on. Lots of interesting facts about the times and the persons as they appear on screen. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
