Anybody surprised Albert gave up Maria for the Serb girl? I guess beauty isn't everything for Albert.

I was not surprised. He loved her for her mind. I can totally see that.

BTW, this show has a rating of 8.4 on IMDB, but I think it's kind of slow and a bit boring at times. I like Geoffrey Rush's Einstein, but Johnny Flynn leaves something to be desired.

Matt Roush gave it *** out of ***** in TV Guide, and I think I can see why. I'm not sure I can last through another nine episodes.

Yeah, I read some of the reviews. Obligatory sex scene at beginning of ep 1 and then the back and forth switch to present and past which could disrupt the flow of some viewers. Children using the terms "Relax, I'll get it" and other modern slang.

Maybe it will get better.

Maybe, the show wasn't my cup of tea though so I dropped it after the first episode. Enjoy the series :)

Thanks. I'm hanging in there, for now. I'm basically watching because I'm fascinated by Einstein.

Three episodes in and I'm still hooked.
