Yvonne and I just watched Adams last year--I reckon we were too impoverished to watch it when it was on HBO.
It's very powerful--and I think I've gained a deeper understanding of the first few years of US history.
I've got another tip--the BBC series "The Hollow Crown" takes Shakespeare's History plays in chronological order from Richard II through Richard III--though I admit it will be a bit too gruesome for some watchers. I'm glad I didn't live through the War of the Roses.
The acting is top drawer--Jeremy Irons as Henry 4, Tom Hiddleston as Hal, Benedict Cumberbatch as Richard Crookback.
