Ok, now I'm hooked on this series. I've seen disk #1 and #2.

My respect for Paul Giamatti's acthing skills has markedly increased.

it was a good series... not as good as Dexter but good none the less

the book was better ... actually, wait, the series was probably better than the book 😉

jpotts, I agree about Giamatti.

Some of the episodes (3 I'm sure about, and 4 if I'm not mistaken) were not up to the rest of the series, but all-in-all, not a bad miniseries.

Oh, and the portrayal of George Washington by David Morse is one of the best I've seen.

Ive heard it an XXXcellnt series................But I like Sam Adams line up .......

Yes! Emphatically agree! I know it sounds dumb, but I LOVED how the man reflected Washington's false teeth with the his expressions, and the way he talked. To my knowledge, no other movie has done that.

I liked "The Crossing" - the TNT movie that detailed the crossing of the Deleware - but this one was better.

I also thought Jefferson's portrayal was interesting in the movie.

After I'm done with my book on Patton, I've decided I'm going to read John Adams: A Life (or whatever the title is). Supposedly, it is a better book on Adams than the one that they used for this movie.

It was intresting

OMG...jpotts, that's TWO things we've agreed upon already this year. I need to go lie down. The enormity of this is too much to handle.

So, what you're trying to say is, I should put it in my Netflix queue

Awesome mini-series.I plan to purchase the entire set because I missed a couple episodes.Not many mini-series truly live up to the hype........I thought this one was truly an over-acheiver.
