1. Jefferson's Kind of Hot
But what's up with all the rustic Yorkshire(?) accents? Seems like everyone except the Adamses have them.

3. Kind of hot? I'd say very hot! His accent did really throw me off. Right now I got really pissed
at John for bowing before George.

6. I thought it sounded Welsh but maybe you're right
I wonder if this series will take a anti-jefferson viewpoint later?
I trust they will be fair. Adam's presidency was not very democratic.

7. He didn't even recognize his own children. That brought tears to my eyes. And yes,
the Madness of King George was later.

9. I'm here still with tears in my eyes. It really did mean something then. They
are all rolling in their graves now. What we are seeing now is the breakdown of what they stood for.

And yes, so another excellent show! I'm so happy I have HBO on Demand, I have rewatched them all.

Night night!
