This is a review on series 2 on Picasso. I just came back from Barcelona and after visiting the beautiful Picasso museum and discovering what incredible pictures he already painted as a young boy I felt the need to learn more about him. I found the series both educating and entertaining. The episodes are not in chronological order and jump from Picasso being a young man to him being older, with various stages of his life in between. WW1, Spain's civil war, WW2, it is all there. It is fascinating to get to meet all the artists, painters and poets Picasso befriended and all the women he loved and needed. The whole subject of his treatment of women can fill a whole book. But still, according to the series they all wanted him, regardless of his behavior.. What really bothered me is that most of the series takes place in France. Most actors were French but had to speak in English with a French accent! Why couldn't they speak French! It would have been so much better. Antonio Banderas was fabulous. I wish we could have heard him speak more in Spanish. The actor who played Picasso was excellent too. In fact the acting was very good. Altogether I really enjoyed this series and feel that I have learned a lot.
