There is a lot of excess romanticism and foul slander about the Founding Fathers, but this series expertly does away with both of those. The story of John Adams is inspiring and rousing - especially in the second episode, my favourite - and puts you into the reality of the history we often hear about. Both Giamatti and Linney put in faithful and sympathetic performances that capture the relationship between the two Adamses.
