It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I enjoyed this series very much-the acting was top-notch and I liked how Einstein's theories were illustrated in the show.
It was entertainment, people, not a documentary.
I am now reading the book it was based on.
It is a series that leaves you wanting to learn more-and there is nothing wrong with that.

This movie tells us the story about Einstein in the first season and Picasso in the second season.The second season is full of seaxy actions which foucuses more on Picasso 's personal life. I personally think this is not good enough. We should pay more attention to his achievements.The first season is better than the second season, and it is also what I know more. However, starting with secy actions that Eisntein is making love with his secretary is also not good. There are also too many others like this. This makes this movie look like a soap opera. It is not serious enough. Do you think this will draw more attention? There are also something inaccurate. For instance, that girl asking math questions to Einstein in the last episode. The time is not right. Some switch from the past to present soemtimes makes people puzzled. People have to read more resources so they can really understand this.The good point is that the story is inspiring.

Genius Season1 revolves around the life of Albert Einstein. The key point to note here is 'life' of the genius - not about the theories of the Genius. It shows the human side of Einstein and throws light towards his life journey - his hardships, his love, his happiness and his sorrow. If you are looking to get the understanding on how Einstein came up with E=MC2 and other of his great discoveries, this is not for you. But if you would like to understand and get to know Einstein as a living being, this series is a must watch.All the actors acted quite remarkably. The background score could have been better and there are times in the series when you feel that things are going too slow and then there are parts where you would be like- 'did I miss something'.
Overall, a good series to watch

I read one review that said the viewer was disappointed after watching the first episode for its switching between past and present. Interestingly, the first episode was the least enjoyable to watch as it was a little disconcerting. But the production of the show was very well thought-out in the sense that this series (season one) BUILT the story of Einstein. It didn't just TELL a story, but allowed you to "get into Einstein's head" and understand what made the man the way he was. To watch this series, commit yourself to watching it and stay with it. A few times I thought it was slow and some of the detail written into the script was "fill", but the fact is that at the end of the last episode.. and the end of the last scene.. every part of the filming that made this production ALL came together!Kudo's to the writers and production team for an EXCELLENT production! Movies nearly always tell a story, but they don't frequently make you feel as though you've been a PART of that story or lived the experiences of the people in that movie. Genius: Einstein successfully did exactly that!Without giving away anything, it appears to be close to real life (though does take some creative license as you would expect, plus it doesn't completely write out some of the details of his life.. but that's probably because the seasons appear to be a straight 10 episode "adventure). You'll learn about his life from his childhood to his death, his influences, the tragedies, his family, his success, AND his failures (with many in his own personal life). You'll learn that this true genius certainly has his human flaws!Really worth watching! Entertaining (though don't expect fast-paced, heart-pounding adventure as it's not that type of series and does move slow at times), very informative, and educational as well. Don't let negative reviews influence you to not watch this.. and certainly watch at least two or three episodes before forming an opinion (as at least one reviewer clearly did). If you watch one episode and say "not for me", you won't know what the series is really like. It takes a few.. and you WILL be hooked!
