I guess I'll be tiresome again, but Adams and Jefferson were not friends. Adams was a Federalist and Jefferson a Democratic-Republican. It was pretty contentious between the two factions. I can't remember if it was the second or third presidential campaign- but it was BRUTAL between the two.
I believe later in life, they were more friendly, but I don't think they were ever really close.

. I think the fact that they were some of the few (only?) remaining founding fathers maybe drew them together. They both really wanted to be around by the 50th anniversary of the Declaration, and died on that day. John Adam's last words were: "Thomas Jefferson still lives." Jefferson had actually died 5 hours earlier on the same day. L between the two.

Thomas Jefferson had a very close relationship with John Adams in retirement.
Much of that Mini series was filmed in Virginia. They built a replica of a 18th century warship in Powatan county for the show, now it's used for other movie shoots.
I like John Adams because he believed in the rule of law and not men. I liked that he was willing to represent those accused of murder in the Boston Massacre, even at his own peril. John Adams believed in those accused were entitled to a trial. He was against mob rule, as you would find springing up from democracy.
