Trivia question for historical-minded freepers: Why would HBO films be interested in doing a piece on a dead white European male like John Adams?
To trash him.
Because there are a hell of a lot of living white 'European' males who will watch it?
Plus, it they stay true to McCullough's book, it will be a sure winner even for people who don't know history. Just the story of the Adams' (John AND Abagael) is spell binding. Probably the best biography that I have ever read. Heroic people in a heroic age.
