About
You can stream John Adams (2008) on Max with a subscription.
Adapted from David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, this lavish seven-part miniseries chronicles the life of Founding Father John Adams, starting with the Boston Massacre of 1770 through his years as an ambassador in Europe, then his terms as vice president and president of the United States, up to his death on July 4, 1826.
A brilliant, sweating, and deeply human portrayal of a flawed revolutionary makes this historical epic feel startlingly immediate. The production captures the mud and politics of the early republic with visceral, tactile detail.
