Read MoreCollapse
Brand New: The Emmy-winning epic historical series continues its UK premiere on More4. Showing as part of More4's US Election Season, John Adams stars Paul Giamatti (Sideways, Cinderella Man) in the title role, and Laura Linney (The Squid and the Whale, Love Actually) as his wife Abigail. In this episode, President Adams holds firm in keeping America out of the Anglo-French conflict, despite intense provocation from France. Meanwhile, Adams falls out with Thomas Jefferson. He also disowns his alcoholic son, Oliver, shortly before Oliver's death. Later, drained by politics and family tragedy, Adams leaves office and Washington.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for John Adams. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Unnecessary War is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 6 out of 7, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 1h 19m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
How OnlySynopsis Builds This Page
