After 2 and a half hours, you realize that it all revolves around the conflict between Oppenheimer and Strauss, who originally hired him to create the Atom Bomb. Strauss later tried to undermine him simply because he didn't want to give Oppenheimer so much credit. Other topics such as competition with the Nazis, how the bomb was made, Oppenheimer's relationship with Eisenstein, and his love life are only briefly touched upon. There is a continuous musical score accompanied by overwhelming sound effects to alleviate the boredom. You are relieved when things become slightly clearer at the end what is the focus of the movie and especially that the film is finely over.

Amsterdam plays the main part as far as I can see in the first episode. The serie is filmed on very good Amsterdam locations so good that you are tempted to visit that city if you did not already. So many locations which I know all well cause I live in that city and love it. Good choice! And the main character Momo is a beautiful boy played by a good actor which makes all these locations all the better. But then were is the story? Maybe it is still coming. Momo writes a book and let everybody know this on many locations. Much further than that we don't get .... so far. Ok I ll watch the next episode cause I love my city and I start to love Momo.
