I will never give HBO another chance to revise history since I saw their dramatization of the Chicago Seven trial. In that the judge was totally evil and the Chicago Seven were the greatest guys ever. In fact at the very end of the show the real Chicago Seven rushed onto the set to shake the hands of the actors who had played them.
As for John Adams and this column it was John Adams who by pure force of will ramrodded independence through The Continental Congress.
It really depends on the production company. McCullough was involved in this production, so I don't think this is going to be revised history.
