Looks very good, Paul Giamatti plays Adams.
Plot summary : A miniseries on the life of John Adams and the first 50 years of the United States.

Paul Giamatti - uh-oh. Could be great, could be complete crap. I'll check it out if it's on HBO HD though.
I liked McCullough's book 1776 so I'm looking forward to watching this when it comes out on DVD. No HBO here at school. :(

Saw the first episode. It looks like its going to be another great HBO mini-series. It's extremely rare that their productions are bad.
I to will have to get the dvd because I don't get HBO here.

I watched both episodes and thought it was top-notch, however I should note that I'm a bit of a history nut!
The old-skool vaccination scene is gnarly!

indeed it was very good, a bit slow at times, but very good, it will be purchased from hbo once it is on dvd :)

I love Paul Giamatti. If Philip Seymour Hoffman is winning "Best Actor" at the Academy Awards... then Paul deserves to be King of Scotland.
