This is what makes it so different.

Genius franchise scores 70% on Rotten Tomatoes. Plus, it has a rating of 8.2 out of 10 on IMDb. With such high numbers, there is no doubt that the franchise is heading towards a long run. However, season 3 received much backlash from the granddaughter of Aretha Franklin for not being a part of the production.
