Washington spoke noble and lofty words through dentures fitted with teeth harvested from the mouths of his slaves. History and mythology are different beasts -- the pure and lofty archetypes of mythology are often easier on the palate than the complicated realities of history.

Love this series. Only exception I take to the writing is their treatment of Hamilton. He's portrayed as intelligent, yes, but way too cynical and wrong-headed. The reason why Adams did not like him is because Hamilton challenged him constantly, and got under his skin too successfully. Hamilton was definitely ambitious but he was not a mean-spirited coward, he was if anything a bit of a well-meaning intellectual.

This group of actors has spoiled it for anyone else that might ever play the part of a founding father because they're performances are like the gold standard, the definitive version, at least for me. Now I can only see one Franklin, one Adams, one Mrs. Adams, one Washington, one Jefferson etc. it's as close as we ever might get to really seeing what it was like then. Watching this and Band Of Brothers always blows my mind, the two greatest "films" if you will of all time. BTW, somewhere floating around there is a great behind the scenes documentary on the John Adams series, it's crazy how they blended CGI and real life elements, you just won't believe how they did all of it. It's as good as the series itself. All that I just said could be wrong, but I haven't been incorrect since like 1974, so it's a pretty good bet you can take all of it to the bank, or the manure pile, readers choice. Just remember after reading this you automatically incur a nominal financial commitment to me and it is compulsory. In God we trust, all others pay cash.

This scene had 3 future US Presidents! Cool 😎!
The 1770s sure were a blurry time.
I love how they all had very distinctive personalities and respected each other for them.
Great mini series
