Experience the dramatic stages of the American independence in a way you've never seen before. John Adams is an HBO-produced mini-series that won a record 13 Emmy Awards and four Golden Globes. It is based on David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography and offers an unflinchingly honest look at one of America's most important founding fathers.
The series follows John Adams (Paul Giamatti) through 50 years of history: from a Boston lawyer to the voice of the revolution, a diplomat in Europe, the first Vice President of the United States, and finally the second President. At the heart of the story is the unbreakable bond and correspondence between John and his wife Abigail (Laura Linney), which carries them through wars, political intrigues, and personal tragedies.
