What was the German Einstein series about (and how will the U.S. version differ)?

by

As a longtime admirer of Matthew Gray Gubler’s versatile acting skills, I am thrilled to see him taking on the lead role in the series “Einstein.” Having followed his career since his days on “Criminal Minds,” I can confidently say that he has the charisma and talent to bring depth to the character of Lew, Einstein’s great-grandson.

Matthew Gray Gubler is set to star in his very own television show, titled “Einstein.” This upcoming series is inspired by a German comedy-drama with the same name, and Matthew will portray the leading role.

In the U.S. adaptation, Bryan Cranston will portray Lew, Einstein’s great-grandson, who carries the burden of his family lineage. Is this the character’s role in the original series or have there been changes? It might be interesting to examine the source material to understand potential differences.

Who does the German Einstein follow?

The German TV show centers around Felix, portrayed by Tom Beck, as reported by TVLine. He’s an exceptionally young professor specializing in theoretical physics at his university. One might wonder if this is due to his great-grandfather being Albert Einstein, but he strives to carve out his unique journey regardless.

Despite the challenges, he’s struggling too, as he’s battling Huntington’s disease. Resorting to stealing medication for his situation, he finds himself in legal trouble and potentially facing prison. However, Elena, portrayed by Annika Ernst, extends a way out of this predicament, offering him a means to avoid jail time.

As a seasoned gamer, I’ve found myself in a pickle – some in-game mysteries that have left me utterly stumped. Luckily, there’s a character with a brain as sharp as Felix’s, and she’s offering me a chance to assist. If I help her crack these cases, I might just dodge a jail sentence. So here we are, teaming up to unravel the enigmas that have eluded us both.

How will the U.S. Einstein change?

The two performances are remarkably similar, with one key exception: the circumstances leading to Lew’s arrest. It seems unlikely that he suffers from Huntington’s disease. Rather, he appears to be trying to flee his namesake, which eventually lands him in trouble with some questionable activities.

Upon his arrest, he’s given an option: either risk imprisonment or assist the detective in her hardest cases. It’s not much of a guess to say that in a story like this, he would opt for collaboration rather than incarceration.
