Wow!

Well, the John Adams miniseries was about as good as I had hoped (at least the first two parts). I can't wait to see more of Jefferson, who was brooding and quiet, just like he should be. They did everyone well; Franklin with the wit, Washington with the quiet honor. I wish we had that new-fangled "DVR" thing though. My wife isn't American, and there were so many places where I wanted to pause and explain something. There were a lot of places where they didn't explain in detail what was going on. Hard to blame them -- already pressed for time and hopefully most viewers knew.
