Miniseriál HBO je věnován pozoruhodnému životu jednoho z nejméně pochopených a doceněných „otců zakladatelů“: druhému prezidentovi Spojených států amerických Johnu Adamsovi.Titulní roli hraje Paul Giamatti, jeho oddanou ženu Abigail ztělesnila Laura Linneyová. Seriál mapuje životní cestu jednoho z prvních zastánců americké nezávislosti, jehož odkaz je mnohdy zastíněn mnohem slavnějšími současníky, jako byli George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton a Benjamin Franklin. Vedle vylíčení bouřlivých událostí, které provázely zrození amerického národa, je tento seriál také fascinující studií lidské přirozenosti a strhujícím milostným příběhem o vzácném vztahu mezi Adamsem a jeho ženou. A v době, kdy se americký národ stále víc politicky polarizuje, seriál o Johnu Adamsovi připomíná a oslavuje hodnoty svobody a nezávislosti, na nichž byly Spojené státy americké vystavěny.
