Sam and Sally--ups and downs of tough teenage life. Sam's mother dies. Sally's father (he is adopted) is gay. Many wonderful moments throughout--very natural transitions in the conversations that make this feel real, not like a novel. "Dad" is a little too good to be true.
Solid opening 30 minutes (we're treating this like a mini-series). O's involvement with left-wing causes . . . rift with Einstein (O thinks of him as over-the-hill and Einstein knows it.) First splitting of atom. Lawrence Lab in Berkeley--Lawrence practical applied physics . . . not O's strength. Main actor is from Peaky Blinders.
