I don't believe Martha was even represented on the show.
I saw all 7 episodes on HBO. It was tremendous. It's really instructional to see these historic figures, flaws intact, depicted as actual human beings.

It's good entertainment, fairly good history... They messed up the trial of Thomas Preston and co, lumping it up as one trial. And they portrayed John Hancock as the President of the First Continental Congress. Eh, the history is pretty flawed in some areas. But it's still good stuff.
