Check Out This Exclusive Clip From Tonight’s Episode Of ‘Genius’

By Becky Scott June 13, 2017

There are a lot of television shows to choose from these days. It can be overwhelming – nay, even enraging – when someone comes along with yet another suggestion, as if your list isn’t long enough.

That’s why we’re sharing with you an exclusive clip from tonight’s episode of “Genius,” a show that gives us a glimpse into the life of the OG genius – Albert Einstein.

This episode, the eighth in the season, deals with Einstein’s attempt to flee Nazi Germany. The clip features Einstein, played by Geoffrey Rush, encouraging a crowd at a U.S. synagogue to celebrate their Jewish heritage.

If only everyone who recommended a show made it this easy to decide whether or not to cancel your Saturday night plans and binge-watch every back episode.
