I like it much; HBO films have been rated excellent for a long time.  While frustrated by many reruns, my recording thinghy has has caught most, but I think I lost some, if not most of the intial double opening episodes.  The acting, attention to detail, and historically accuracy are superb  …. but, I am not a competent film critic.  I am a big fan of “Friday Night Lights”, an excellent drama ignoroed by most because they felt they would be watching football all the time.  John Adams is revealed through brilliant acting and historical accuracy.  What more can one ask?  Best, it is certain to be available in the future on CD, as will Friday Night Lights.But, what do I know?  As an old retired fart, television entertains me for most conscious hour.  I don't watch reality, Dance With Your Mother In Law, or any other stupid stuff.  I perfer intelligent documentaries, and drama, with a few laughs.  Never seen "Dancing with the Stars", for instance.  Never felt a need to it.  Is anyone old enough to remember "Crusader Rabbit", or "Midnight, the Cat"?Does not matter.  All I'm trying to say is there is a lot of wonderful TV programming today.  Try making you children aware of it, because there is also a lot of crap out there.
