This is bad. It is too detailed and badly scripted. It is not about the rise and fall of Mussolini - just 5 hours on his early days moving into politics and having love affairs. Not too many significant events are covered.
For those who can't understand Italian - the dubbing is terrible with strong North American accents.
There is too much on his love life with some rather dour looking women. In between there are some repetitive social statements.
The other series with George C Scott is better.
The casting is strange - Banderas looks nothing like Mussolini and the romantic interests are sour looking.
Don't watch this unless you can't sleep and need some help.
