This episode manages to contain much of the worst content in the series. The characters make dumb decision after dumb decision, behave more uncivilly and viciously with one another than could possibly be warranted under the circumstances, and continuity is nearly forgotten about: for Christ's sake, Washington repeats the same bit of monologue twice in the same conversation, word for word! What on earth was going on in the editing room that they couldn't have possibly fixed it?!

It's rather boring too - perhaps it's a stylistic choice, reflecting how much these years sucked for John Adams, but I think that it's just uninspired, the same as the title which is a ripoff of the series' 1st episode.
