Review – John Adams

I liked this miniseries better than I thought I would. If nothing else, Paul Giamatti wasn’t anywhere near as annoying as he was in every other role I’ve seen him play. Plus I didn’t know much about Adams other than his association with the infamous Alien and Sedition Act, so I enjoyed learning a little history along the way. Though I suspect it could have been a good deal shorter, overall it was a pleasant viewing experience. My only real disappointment was that the overlays of historical tidbits – an optional feature on the discs – didn’t amount to much. Mildly amusing
