«Good, not great»
It was pretty good. Nowhere near as good as the HBO miniseries. But, there was some good information in there.

«An interesting dose of history»
I ordered this item after watching the HBO series "John Adams." Many of the events described were the same, and it was a documentary more than a dramatization like the HBO series. Still, this version had some information that was not included in the series. I would recommend this one both for those who have seen the series and those who have not, including those who might want a shorter version of the same story.

«John & Abigail are real!»
Growing up, my image of the Founding Fathers always seemed to focus on Washington, Jefferson & Franklin. Adams seemed secondary.
After seeing this, the viewer must come away with a high respect for both John & Abigail. One was nothing without the other.
A little acting, and a bit of historian narration, this DVD is both entertaining and informative. The actors do a wonderful job of conveying the lives of the people of the times.
