Paul Giamatti in a poster for John Adams
The Big Picture It's often been said that history is about perspective and nowhere is this saying more accurate than in the most recent episode of Apple TV+'s Franklin, where John Adams makes his unwelcome debut in France.
John Adams The life of one of the USA's Founding Fathers, its second President, and his role in the nation's first 50 years. All of this is not to say John Adams is portrayed as a paragon of humility in the series. During his time as president, a full decade after leaving France, he still equates the French Revolution to mob rule and served as the unofficial leader of the Federalist Party, which remained defined by elitism.
More than anything else, John Adams is portrayed in the miniseries as a man constantly out of his depth and there was often little he could do to escape it. Even on the rare occasions where he performs decently well, such as during his meeting with King George III to end the war, any attempts to control the narrative remain beyond his control.
