Hellooooooo! What's happening? Such a good serie and suddenly the last episode is the first one???
Anyway, this documentary is exceptionally well done, in terms of description and imagery and also with graphic design supporting the story. I cannot say the same in terms of history, as many time Spain is described as the major country in its time, forgetting Portugal. In episode 4, a map shows Portugal as part of Spain. Although Portugal in fact has been part of Spain since 1580 to 1640, that is not relevant to the story that is told, when said that Spain loose importance since it's defeat in with North America war, in 1898. The graphic shows Spain loosing Portugal, and all the colony's while telling about that defeat, in 1898 (???)... That simple it's not right. As it not right to say that Spain was the biggest country ever. Portugal and Spain divided the world with the Tordesilhas treat, back in 1494, being both the TWO biggest country's in the world. I liked this documentary, because it shows how cruel a man can be and because it's very well done in terms of story about Spain society then and until now, but in fact it's not so precise in terms of history.
