Reverend Jax Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Torrent of Part 1 Torrent of Part 2 Torrent of Part 3 Paul Giamatti of American Splendor and Sideways fame plays founding father John Adams in a 7-part (each part over an hour so far) miniseries based on teh book by historian David McCullough. As far as TV is concerned, HBO is the gold standard; every show should be so lucky to get the HBO treatment, and they've put their full weight behind this project. It starts with the Boston Massacre, and as of the end of part 3, he is in Europe trying to get support in the war effort, but it seems the war is coming to an end in America. I recommend this series to any history buffs out there, on the off chance you haven't heard of it yet.
Silent Bob Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Man, tell me there's a kickass motorcycle chase at the end...
Signal08 Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 theres a kick ass two wheeled horse carriage chase at the end of show 7... its a must see.
Benz Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Sweet! Keep them torrents comin Jax! I really like this series, as it shows American History as close to how it really was as we're gonna get. In my 2 pennies anyway...
MetalHeart Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Thanks to Jax, I downloaded all the links he had. I don't know when I'll start this, but hopefully soon. Also, yesterday on Attack of the Show (G4) they showed a "best of / highlights" of the show... and it amused me. The youtube video below is from Letterman, as it's the only place I could find it. (I don't know if it aired there originally or not).
