As with many things Tom Hanks touches, this production is a wonderful adaptation of the book that focuses on John Adams' role in history. The story moves fast and spends no time in gratuitious scenes. You arrive at the end of each episode not having believed it was an hour, and immediately wanting more. The acting is very strong in a period piece. While this is a history lesson, it is also an extremely interesting and entertaining story.
