Genius

Season 1 of Genius focuses on Albert Einstein. From a somewhat bored and distracted student emerged  the man who not only developed the most famous formula of his time, E=mc², but also advanced the acceptance of theoretical physics. The series follows Einstein beyond his academic acumen and reveals to viewers the wider story of a complete man — husband, lover, father, theorist, professor, and friend.
