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.
