This is piggybacking on today’s poll….

If you enjoy American history, then you should watch John Adams. I stumbled on this last week and it’s so good. This is currently on HBO Max ($14.99 for one month - I normally will purchase one month of HBO Max when there’s something I want to see - I watch what I want to watch and cancel it). Awesome cast and great story - it’s a great history lesson.

i just wanted to share 🙂

Great series ...watched it when it first came out. Happy Patriots Day!
 
This was a very good series, Also, if you get a chance Sons of Liberty was also a great series to watch.

A very good series. I also recommend the book that it was based on.

One review compared John Adams to an Americanized version of the Hulu series Harlots. No quite sure about that because I haven't yet seen John Adams. 😬

Thank you!!
Do you know if it’s streamed anywhere?
 
Fox Nation, the Fox networks subscription service has a ton of historically accurate documentaries.

I recommend Turn, too, if you like Revolutionary War era shows. It's about the spy ring during the Revolutionary War.
Yes. It’s very well done. Some creative liberties are taken but mostly accurate none the less.
 
I find that shocking to be honest.
They are offering a free trial. I think for a month and you can cancel with no obligation.

Unauthorized History of the Viet Nam War
Kelsey Grammars Historic Battles for America
Minutes to Hiroshima
Sam Huston and the Texas Fight for Freedom
Three Days at the Brink

Just to name a few.

We watch the John Adams series every year around 4th of July. Really well done.

HBO has some other really good historical mini series: Band of Brothers, The Pacific and Chernobyl, to name a few.

BoB is one of the best dramatic series that at least attempts to adhere to a historical framework.
 
This is older, right? I’m pretty sure I watched it before, and enjoyed it.
John Adams is from my neck of the woods! :goodvibes
 
watch 'hacksaw ridge' but also the documentary 'the conscientious objector' on which it was based (the movie seems unbelievable but when you watch the documentary and learn of the even more amazing and heroic acts of doss you will be floored).
