Featured review
First episode isn't representative for entire series
After reading other reviews about this show I was hesitant to watch it. But there are e few points I'd like to make after seeing it up until now:
First of all: as anyone should know this is not a documentary. Don't expect a 100% accurate description of Einstein's life or complex explanations of his theories. It's a drama and you should know this while watching it. That being said: The first episode is actually a really bad introduction for the rest of the series: the drama aspect is way too high, they jump back and forward (which they don't in later episodes) and the focus of the episode is all over the place. In later episodes you get a much more structured way of looking at Einstein's life. There is a clear story line which you can understand and empathize with.
In conclusion: don't judge the entire series in the first 20 minutes of the first episode like seemingly a lot of others have done here.
