Outstanding Miniseries
Based on David McCullough’s
Pulitzer Prize-winning book JOHN ADAMS,
this epic miniseries explores American history
through the eyes of one of its founding fathers,
John Adams: America’s first Vice President and
second President - and friend and foe of such
American luminaries as Benjamin Franklin
and Thomas Jefferson. A man whose fiercely
independent spirit, reverence for the rule of law
and commitment to personal liberty profoundly
influenced the values on which the United States
was founded. The seven-part miniseries also
explores the extraordinary relationship between
Adams and Abigail, his wife of 54 years, a
partnership regarded as one of the most moving
love stories in American history.
