Till this point in time, we have had two seasons of the series. The first one started airing in April of 2017 and throws light on the life that was lead by Sir Albert Einstein. The camera navigates the story from the point when he used to be a patent clerk but later became a physicist and developed the theory of relativity. Obviously, all the science geeks were too excited about this show and even if you are not that much into physics, after watching the show you will surely get attracted to those science books. The tale of this installment was adapted from the book called Einstein: His Life and Universe that has been penned down by Walter Isaacson.
