I'm assuming that most of you that are coming to The Genius Wikia is wanting information on, well, The Genius. Now, if you're a typical American citizen like me, it seems like a daunting task to be able to find episodes of a Korean reality TV show with English subs, especially without any previous knowledge or experience. This directory will help you access the multiple seasons of The Genius.

Why Should I Watch The Genius?

 * It can be a little daunting if you're unaccustomed to having watched any foreign show before. I imagine many of you don't like the idea of subtitles, and are still on the fence. If you're still unsure, then read this excellent blog post by the Dom & Colin Podcast, who also cover Survivor (a show I imagine many of you are familiar with): http://domandcolin.blogspot.com/2015/07/why-everyone-should-watch-genius.html.
 * If you still have time and you're on the fence, and you yearn to learn more, listen to the fantastic Rob Has a Podcast (one of the most popular reality TV podcasting websites of all time) The Genius introductory podcast that'll explain what the show is and why you should watch it:http://robhasawebsite.com/genius-south-korean-game-show-myles-nye-review-2015/

Cheat Sheets / Contestant Reference Guides
One of the criticisms that I see from most people is the notion that many of the contestants are hard to distinguish, especially in the first few episodes. To help you out, I have linked some cheat sheets / reference guides of each of the seasons and their respective players below. These cheat sheets were made by an awesome fan of the show, Angie Caunce:

As you may notice, all of these English subbed episodes come from one person who goes by the awesome name of Bumdidlyumptious*.
