Customer Reviews

Some of the Tracks Will Make You Weep
I can't add much beyond what's already been added by the earlier reviewers. The series is excellent and the soundtrack is superb. It does indeed have a distinctly American feel to it, and some of the tracks have elements that will/could bring you to tears they're so moving (e.g., Declaration of Independence, Letter to Jefferson, etc.). I can recommend this without reservation.

Outstanding Mini-Series
"John Adams" is an outstanding series. The acting is superb and the dialogue equally compelling. Every person who lives in the United States ought to watch this. It is reminder of what being an American truly meant. The series is stimulating, entertaining and inspiring. I rented the series first and I felt compelled to purchase it. Produced by Tom Hanks,"John Adams" is an extraordinary production!
