Should I continue watching John Adams?

The show in question

And yeah, I can just go read Wikipedia, but I don’t want to spoil myself at the moment.

I saw the series listed in several lists of shows that are historically accurate and have a lot of care, so I gave it a try. I am having problems moving on from episode 3 right now. My main problem with it is because it moves so fast in the history timeline. The first episode was really promising. It started at the Boston massacre with Adams being an average lawyer who just wanted to live a quiet life. He was thrusted into the Boston case unwillingly and was forced to defend the British soldiers while everyone around him took offense for it. At first he was torn between the British and the Americans, constantly flip flopping between two sides. He defended the soldiers in one scene then refused offers from his friend to be the King’s assistant in the next scene. Then when episode 2 started he was already on the American’s side for no reason. There was no significant event that led him to the decision. There was no explanation to why he suddenly believed the American is the way. He was now all like “FREEDOM FOR ALL! DIE BRITISH DIE! I WILL FIGHT YOU UNTIL I DIE!” And then it’s episode 3 and it’s already the middle of the war and Washington is asking for support from the Congress. The series just moves so fast that it doesn’t give characters enough time to develop, everyone just looks like they are disposable props.

There are still some more episodes left so I hardly believe that the war will end on episode 4, but it really seems to me it’s the case right now. So I’m wondering if the show will get better as it goes on, or will it stay awful like what I’m seeing right now? Will I see any character development from Adams, or will he just stay one-dimensional? It’s really a shocker to me because I’ve seen the show so highly praised, and then what I see is this jumbled mess.

Bonus question: according to your knowledge of the show, or at least my description of it, is all what’s going on with Adams historically accurate? Was he loyal to the British at first then joined the American later on?
