    The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

    It's a great and interesting historical drama series. Of course it's not all 100% true, how could anyone know what kind of conversation the people had back then or know about their feelings, but most of the historical dates happened the way it was showed. Don't criticize the show just because you were expecting a different Einstein. Nobody is perfect.

    This show is brilliant. Excellent direction, acting and special effects. If you are a fan of Einstein, you will be thrilled to see such a wonderful show. But there is a big flaw. The editing of this show is the biggest blunder. Even worse than any of us might have seen till date. This show is a proof about how an editor can spoil the show completely. It's a pity that such a wonderful show got ruined. But this should not stop anybody to watch a show that will give you a wonderful experience to remember for a lifetime. Because of lack of skills of editor, we cannot undermine the efforts of the actors, director and producer. Not only his scientific life, but his personal and political life is interesting too. It's a great blessing that somebody thought of making a series of 10 hrs about Albert Einstein, the greatest scientist of all time!

    A serie for large public. or just expression of good intention for easy succes. it is bizarre to say than it is a bad serie. only one who has as start point the conviction than a good cast represents a good film. the script is the tool for a film for everybody. the basic desire - to impress, to seduce. the price is not significant. so, each episode remains, after its end, more and more ambiguous. details, small histories, insignificant details. and the absence of "pillars" defining the work of genius.. is it a hommage to the hero ? is it an exercise of "ad usum Delphini " project ? something missing. not only the historical accuracy. but a sort of axis.

    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!
