Review of Evil Genius

This is a bizarre show to stream. It's clear that it was designed to be playing in the background when you're doing something else like cooking or cleaning. They repeat the same stories about the same criminals a few times. Most of these stories I was aware of, there were some that were genuinely surprising and interesting to know. For example, the description of how a Canadian burglar robbed one of the most valuable jewels in Europe I had never heard about, but it's an interesting story. I think the conceit of this series, that there are some criminals that are evil geniuses, is stretched a little bit. There are a few criminals in the series who maybe not were geniuses, but they just had great ideas or a lot of money to accomplish their goal, in the case of some of the drug dealers they talk about. A few I would say were legitimately quite intelligent, but then I think the downfall of many of them is the downfall of many an intelligent person-that they think because they are intelligent in one area that they are intelligent in all areas.
