New fan of Benedict Cumberbatch. This pre-Sherlock drama showcases his talents very well. I also learned much about Prof. Hawking that surprised me. Inspired to find out more about this amazing man.

Cumberbatch honestly blew me away with his skills as an actor with this episode. I have become a fan of his through his works (Sherlock, Star Trek, Hobbit, etc) and am a Hawking fan myself. Seeing him portray Hawking with such emotion, I felt it. And his body acting, his physical portrayal of a man deteriorating astounded me. Absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan.
