Albert Einstein’s great grandson helps solve crimes in the CBS pilot Einstein filming in Toronto.
Lew Einstein (Matthew Gray Gubler), the brilliant but directionless great grandson of Albert Einstein spends his days as a comfortably tenured professor until his bad boy antics land him in trouble with the law and he is pressed into service helping a local police detective (Rosa Salazar) solve her most puzzling cases.
The CBS procedural-with-a-twist is adapted from the German series Einstein starring Tom Beck.
