John Adams Part 5: Unite or Die

Part 5 of John Adams starts off by showing Mr. Adams struggles during his two terms as Vice President. The episode continues to show the problems he faced in getting things done, with the limited power he was given. His exclusion from the inner circle of George Washington. His and George Washington attempts to stay out of the revolution in France, an eventual peace treaty with Britain leading to Washington decision to not run for a third term. Leading up to a heated race for the presidency. An interesting episode to say the least. Well acted, and very well paced it kept things interesting especially for anyone interested in political life in early U.S. History. Overall I’d have to give this episode a 9 out of 10
