...watching John Adams on HBO Go.  Just finished the first episode (of six).  It's really interesting so far.  Has anyone seen it?

There's a real dearth of good, realistic films about the American Revolution.  Wonder why that is? :dunno:

I haven't seen it.

I tried to prepare for AC3 by replaying the entire four-game set. I quit after 2 hours of AC1... too repetitive to replay... and spent about 8 on AC2 before running out of steam.

I'll prolly wait till Christmas.  I can never even think of anything I want for Christmas theses days.. Having a new game to play during my Christmas break is something I always look forward to.

Not related to AC3 but are you watching "The Men Who Built America"? Second episode is on tonight. Last week covered Vanderbilt and Rockefeller.

No.  It's on History Channel, right?  I'll probably check it out on demand when I get time. 

BTW, "John Adams", to my disappointment, pretty much glossed over the Revolution itself.  But seeing the conflicts and backroom dealings of the original Continental Congress was pretty fascinating.  I'm through part 3.

Four. And they show the previous week's episode at 7:00 before the new episode. Tonight's is #2 so you can catch 2 and 3 next Tuesday. You can still see an hour of this week's episode.
