Hello, all! Has anyone been watching the HBO series, "John Adams"? What is your general impression of: Costumes - both the principal characters and the general populace/servants/etc.? Depiction of the general attitudes and society of the period?
We've enjoyed it so far, and to our non-expert eye, the costumes and such look pretty good. It's obvious the women are wearing corsets, etc., and some of the costumes have been fabulous - esp. the one in tonight's episode that Abigail Adams wore to the opera - the robe a la francaise (I think I got the term correct, did I?) We did notice that they thanked the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in the credits.
