What do you think? Are you glad that the Genius TV show has been renewed for a fourth season? Will you follow it to Disney+? Should National Geographic Channel air season four at some point?
It’s obvious where this is heading & I’m very disappointed. It was bad enough they scratched Mary Shelley for Franklin, now MLK for the next season & moving to Disney +…it’s beyond disappointing.
