The TVI Take

Emmy-winning National Geographic anthology series. Each season profiles a genius — Einstein, Picasso, Aretha Franklin.

Moderate cognitive demands from the biographical structure. High educational value from the scientific, artistic, and musical history. Geoffrey Rush's Einstein and Cynthia Erivo's Aretha are the standouts.
