BarkLessWagMore Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Watched it and thought it was great. Excellent cast. Giamatti is wonderful as usual. Really interesting history lesson for those of us too far removed from school. Really looking forward to the next installments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really interesting history lesson for those of us too far removed from school. Really looking forward to the next installments. I agree. However I don't remember any of my teachers in the Buffalo Public Schools telling me that 1st NY voted no to independence and in the final vote actually abstained. That took me by surprise. The guy who's playing George Washington looks eerily like the portraits I can remember of our 1st President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I agree.

The guy who's playing George Washington looks eerily like the portraits I can remember of our 1st President. GW = David Morse. Another great character actor. You won't know his name but will say, "oh, yeah, he was good in . . ." Overall good acting, well paced (for 50 years of history), and great sets and customs. Not exactly the "good old days." Big fan of Giamatti - American Slendor, Sideways, The Illusionist, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Adams Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 will be watching tonight, it got bad reviews from usa today and entertainment weekly, but looks amazing. WSJ loved it. I would take the reviews of my life story from more literate sources than EW. I'm just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
