John Adams

- Shows the very different styles of each character, which is very similar. Especially John Adams and Mrs Adams, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson. Even George III, who played for 5 minutes, has a distinct personality.

- John Adams' best performance came in the second episode. The 7-episode miniseries simply doesn't fit the whole story. The person watching needs to have a historical basis. A lot of important things pass through the mouths of actors. It can also be said to be detailed. (Fortunately, I have read "Hamilton Biography")

- What a man has to gain he will lose. In other words, if you want to get something, you have to exchange it for something else. For the sake of his country, John Adams first left his wife and children alone, (Mrs Adams - I can't spell her name, risking her life to vaccinate her children) and then let his children grow up independently . And very custom. (later said it through the mouth of his son Charles) Famous families are really not that easy to maintain. John Adams was also prone to agitation and convulsions, in stark contrast to Thomas Jefferson.

-John Adams at a French aristocratic party is very logical, to the effect that he says he has no time to listen to any opera, he needs to work and study politics and war so that the country can win its independence and then his son can study Mathematics, philosophy, trade, agriculture, so that their descendants could learn painting, poetry, music. (It would be perfect if sons were replaced by children, but that's a limitation of the times, it's normal.) -PS. It's no wonder that the French aristocracy is corrupted like that, and it's not being revolutionized.

- Quincy Adams went to France with her father since she was a child. She was still learning French when she was on the boat, and she was an independent translator. She was too young to fall in love. Because he shoulders the family mission. So he became the sixth president of the United States. (I checked later that there are four families of two generations of US presidents: the Adams family, the Roosevelt family, the Kennedy family and the Bush family.) PS. The little president is cute.

-The amazing Mrs Adams! The women in their family are amazing.

-George Washington doesn't make many appearances, but the characters are excellent. Generous and generous. What impressed me the most was his sentence: It's not my generosity, it's my duty. It also rhymes.

-Thomas Jefferson is the only face value in the whole film. Especially when he was thinking, it was extremely charming. Calm, wise and well-dressed. Although it is possible that the actor is just concave modeling. Hahahahaha. (I checked the cast list later and found that he has played Woolf's husband in "The Hours" all the time, but I have no impression or feeling. It is estimated that Nicole Kidman is too beautiful)

-Hamilton in here is really ugly.

-There is Mo Niang Andrew Scott.

- The last episode was too good to cry. All I can say about John Adams' comment is "You're right!" Coincidentally, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the same day, and on the 50th National Day. (Because his wife and children died early, Thomas Jefferson died on nights without family.)

-I can't find the MKV version, only the subtitle version of everyone, the picture is not very clear, but I think this is probably a series without subtitles that I can't understand.

- This show is too short to accommodate these shining stars. The time span is very long. However, the details of the characters and events are handled very well, especially the buzzing of the fly that is always there at all times can't be more realistic! I feel that Americans do not like to photograph their founding fathers and this history. More of the Civil War. This is the exact opposite of ours.
