I didn’t waste my time with the rewrite of John Adams. I enjoyed A Beautiful Mind as a completely fictitious story, but Ron Howard did not portray John Nash as a fictitious character.

The real John Nash was nothing like the character in the film, nor was his EX-wife, Natasha. As a matter of fact, John Nash never delivered a “Love” speech when he received the Nobel Prize in Economics. The rewrite of the real John Nash is offensive, at best.

Since I know virtually nothing of John Nash it's likely I don't get how badly it was futzed-up.
I really liked the John Adams series, thought they did a decent job (though I'll admit I'm not the best at history) from what I remember reading about him.
