March 23, 200818 yr comment_108015 How many are watching this saga? I think there are some excellent casting choices, great acting, great screenplay and fantastic sets. I love that they chose to go easy on the makeup, and let people sweat as well, it certainly adds to the realism. Any comments? Report
March 28, 200818 yr comment_109253 So how is it? I keep seeing commercials/ads for the show and it looks pretty good. I suck at being tied to the tv so I guess I'll download it sometime Report
June 12, 200818 yr comment_129220 I know this is kind of late, but I was watching it in the beginning, but I still haven't gotten around to the last two episodes. I read the book and overall I do like it. The casting is good, the sets are amazing, and the storyline is of course historic. Overall it is really interesting to see the founding fathers with their triumphs and struggles portrayed on the series. Report
June 13, 200818 yr comment_129550 fyi this just came out on dvd Didn't know that. That was quick Report
June 23, 200818 yr comment_132904 Just finished watching the last two episodes last night on the DVR. I totally forgot that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day and it was 50 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. There was a long period of time that the series didn't really go into, but both Adams and Jefferson wasn't talking to each other. I know it was over ten years. Overall it was a good series that I enjoyed. Report
August 3, 200917 yr comment_262278 I think this is a thread worth reviving.. I'm on the last episode of this series and so far it's been quite good. They've done a really good job of kindling my interest in the Revolution and following years. Anyone else seen this recently? Report
August 3, 200917 yr comment_262284 I saw this earlier in the year upon the recommendation of a history professor. I loved every minute of it but I truly appreciate it for leading me to the book which I think is better. Report

I loved every minute of it but I truly appreciate it for leading me to the book which I think is better. I'm probably going to pick up a copy, at least from the library. Unfortunately, I've got several other volumes in queue... not enough time in the day. Report

December 28, 200916 yr comment_309721 Yes I have, but its been a while. I think it's time to rewatch it I just finished it for the second time. 'The Pacific' is starting in March Report
March 2, 201016 yr comment_330828 Got this on Blu-Ray, saw it upon recommendation of my Cons Law prof. Funny they seemed to gloss over the Alien + Sedition Act and the Barbary Pirates, but go full on with the Quasi War. Especially strange since they introduce John Marshall as the political ally (but not as CJ) Report
