In 2008, Home Box Office presented the miniseries entitled John Adams based on the book by David McCullough. This biographical presentation represents Charles Adams (played by Irish actor Kevin Trainor) as a drunken, irresponsible man with weak character who brings disgrace to his family and is disowned by his father, President John Adams.
However, the series also depicts President Adams" actions as a possible influence on Charles"s development.
He was a frequently absent father whose political life separated him from his family for extended periods, and he did not approve of Charles"s choices as an adult. Historians, however, have pointed out the inaccuracies of the series" representation of their relationship.
