Anyone watch the JOHN ADAMS miniseries on HBO?

I like it, but I LOVE the theme song/title sequence, which I earlier found on YouTube. I don't think anyone knows what the song's called yet, but it's really strangely addicting...I call it a cross between some demented Irish jig and a more traditional military song.

1. That is pretty nice

I only just started reading the book and so far I'm enjoying it immensely I'm looking forward to when I can rent the DvDs of the series.

Late last year the Boston Public Library put on a display of Adam's personal library collection and including some of his letters, it's fascinating stuff.

2. Yeah, he's really interesting.

My mom has the book upstairs--I'm going to have to read it, eventually. I'm just enjoying the miniseries and its soundtrack in general...pretty awesome, especially on our 50" plasma. :)

3. Yep, will watch episode 4 tonight

I don't live in the states, so have been downloading it from torrents. We have really enjoyed it so far... The high definition version is really good.

4. Yeah....I've been watching it in HD as well.

Great picture and sound quality!

6. So good, I want my 52" plasma now!

I have a paltry 42" Sony letterbox shaped projection .... :(

And before I get accused of being a complete corporate consumptionist... I bought it recycled! However, it is SONY and has excellent quality.

5. The JA soundtrack will be released on CD April 22

the music was composed by Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli.

7. Yes, and we are loving it.

We've watched the first three so far. Extremely well-written and well-acted, and yes, I like the theme song too.

8. My dear WIMR!

That song just gives me goosebumps!

LOVE IT!

And the whole series is amazing, wonderful, incredibly good...

We are totally addicted!

Excellent stuff.

10. I tried but just couldn't get interested in it.

Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney are so horribly miscast in those roles that I found it distracting. The pacing is slower than slow. I liked the book much better.

11. I love it too....

Both the series and the theme song.

Glad to know after "The Wire" ended there is still top-notch programming on HBO. (Although "In Treatment" looked dreadfully boring beyond words.)

How many more installments are there?
