Genius
Drama51 min per episode
Genius follows history-shaping figures from their early ambition to the work that made them famous, folding scientific breakthroughs and artistic revolutions into the details of marriage, rivalry, failure, and public life. The first chapter centers on Albert Einstein, from his years as a young outsider and patent clerk to the development of relativity, with Geoffrey Rush as the older Einstein and Alex Rich as his younger self. Later installments turn to other towering names, including Antonio Banderas’s Pablo Picasso, keeping the focus on the people behind the reputations as much as the ideas and achievements that changed their fields.
