What are the themes of John Adams?

I would say the Themes are the often dichotomous nature of success and failure. Throughout his life, Adams again and again experiences humiliation and defeat, while simultaneously achieving great and lasting successes which ensure his ultimate goals, namely the founding and continuation of his country. This can be said to be a commentary on the ideal American way of life and worldview, and the cost of maintaining this idealism against the backdrop of the real world.

Adams is shown to have qualities which at times are good, and at times get him into trouble. His tenacity causes an abrasive relationship with even his best friends, such as Franklin, and ultimately undermines his political success and legacy. Outside factors which are adverse to his personality exacerbate his circumstances. Regardless, his wisdom and stubbornness can be seen as being instrumental in setting the tone of the national attitude, and his goals noble and worth fighting for.

An interesting note about the mini-series is that it is never explicitly stated whether or not his efforts were worth it, that is whether or not the country was worth it. And we await with baited breathe still.
