I am deeply disappointed by this series. The plot points are so boring and tedious, I mean they reduced the character of Abagail Adams to a recurring character. It doesn't help things that the actress playing Abagail Adams portrays her like a plank of wood. We see very little of the other Founding Fathers as well in the John Adams portion of the series, you get a bit of Franklin, as well as Washington, Jefferson, and Monroe later on, but they are also planks of wood.
The acting and costumes are terrible as well. The actor playing John Adams has a full head of hair for most of John Adams' story, all of the characters have these ridiculous accents that they should've hired more serious historical linguistics teachers as consultants. At the end of the day however, you have to blame the screenwriters for writing such bland and boring dialogues and scenes for a historical series covering the lines of an influential Founding Father family that had so much potential, only for the screenwriters to fluff it since its inception.
You'd be better off watching Liberty's Kids, Captain James Cook 1987 miniseries, or the 2008 miniseries on John Adams.
