Featured review
Excited the curious child in me.
Although the story about Einstein's life as depicted in this show might not be the accurate to every detail, the show captures the nuances that highlight his brilliance via great acting and directing. There are not one, but many scenes where I am exhilarated by the way everything is presented - the story, the emotions and the science. There are a lot of scenes where I was hit by a train of emotions that left me tearing up. I agree with the most reviewers that view this show as an incorrect portrayal of his work and his life, but I don't agree with them in rejecting it straightaway. I always give time to a series to develop, despite it's inconsistencies. It helps the people involved to learn from their shortcomings. Where would our world be if we start rejecting stuff by just a glance of it? Thankfully, they brought the series back on track giving it the edge it needed to become a masterpiece. I thank the producers, the directors, the writers and the actors for venturing me into this incredible journey to witness the life of a great man.
