swt61 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 How many are watching this saga? I think there are some excellent casting choices, great acting, great screenplay and fantastic sets. I love that they chose to go easy on the makeup, and let people sweat as well, it certainly adds to the realism. Any comments? Quote
jinp6301 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 So how is it? I keep seeing commercials/ads for the show and it looks pretty good. I suck at being tied to the tv so I guess I'll download it sometime Quote
riceboy Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 I know this is kind of late, but I was watching it in the beginning, but I still haven't gotten around to the last two episodes. I read the book and overall I do like it. The casting is good, the sets are amazing, and the storyline is of course historic. Overall it is really interesting to see the founding fathers with their triumphs and struggles portrayed on the series. Quote
riceboy Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 fyi this just came out on dvd Didn't know that. That was quick Quote
riceboy Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Just finished watching the last two episodes last night on the DVR. I totally forgot that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day and it was 50 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. There was a long period of time that the series didn't really go into, but both Adams and Jefferson wasn't talking to each other. I know it was over ten years. Overall it was a good series that I enjoyed. Quote
bperboy Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 I think this is a thread worth reviving.. I'm on the last episode of this series and so far it's been quite good. They've done a really good job of kindling my interest in the Revolution and following years. Anyone else seen this recently? Quote
Quadrangulum Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 I saw this earlier in the year upon the recommendation of a history professor. I loved every minute of it but I truly appreciate it for leading me to the book which I think is better. Quote

Unfortunately, I've got several other volumes in queue... not enough time in the day. Quote
jinp6301 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 Just finished the series. Great series. Any recommendations on other history mini series? Quote
veloaudio Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 Just finished the series. Great series. Any recommendations on other history mini series? Have you seen Band of Brothers? Quote
jinp6301 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 Yes I have, but its been a while. I think it's time to rewatch it Quote
veloaudio Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 Yes I have, but its been a while. I think it's time to rewatch it I just finished it for the second time. 'The Pacific' is starting in March Quote
trevorlane Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Got this on Blu-Ray, saw it upon recommendation of my Cons Law prof. Funny they seemed to gloss over the Alien + Sedition Act and the Barbary Pirates, but go full on with the Quasi War. Especially strange since they introduce John Marshall as the political ally (but not as CJ) Quote
