2008，美国大选年。年初的这部迷你剧似乎是为大选做了预热。全剧以John Adams的个人经历和家庭为主线，展现了美国独立、建国以及建国后五十年内的内政及外交状况，George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, 这些美国历史上传奇一般的名字也在剧中得到了一定程度的还原。当然更不得不提的是John Adams和他妻子广为传颂的爱情，也花费了剧集相当的篇幅进行刻画和描述。最后一集的最后20min里，John Adams对独立宣言签署的画作的评论增添了本剧的思想深度，给予了我们一个看历史的更冷静的视角。本剧又何尝不是一幅相似的油画作品呢。

以波士顿律师身份执业的John Adams在倒英浪潮日益高涨的政治氛围中却倾向于中间派，游走在激进愤怒的麻省人民和英属北美殖民官员之间，两边都在竭力拉拢他为自己这边的立场服务，John Adams举棋不定，他一边认为北美人民应与本土英国人平权，一边又相信英王的统治还远未到暴政的程度。
