If you're not science oriented like myself, the concepts of his theories regarding light and gravity may be difficult to understand, but yet this series remains terrific due to the performances and the emphasis on Einstein's personal life.
The advent of World War 1 interrupts his theory when he sends his assistants to Russia to gather scientific information during an eclipse. Go know that the guys are caught up as war breaks out and they're invariably accused of spying.
Elsa shows that she is a prim and proper woman for pre-World War 1 times, not wishing to continue her life with Einstein until he dissolves his marriage. His wife, brilliantly played by Samantha Colley, refuses to give him a divorce and in rebellion, starts an affair with a mathematician who is trying to disprove Einstein's theories.
The end of this episode is poignant as his wife realizes that her situation is hopeless but takes herself and the boys out of Germany to return to Switzerland.
