It is disappointing to see how the TV series deliberately avoided addressing some of the most controversial and significant episodes of its subject's career. I say "deliberately" because, in three 50-minute episodes, it is hard to believe they did not have the time to discuss:
The decision not to highlight episodes such as the alleged alteration of flight paths following a scam to inflate the value of land purchased at a bargain price, the issues related to "Casa di Arcore" and the scandals connected to its purchase at twenty times its real value, and the alleged collusion with the mafia (given that his father was the director of a bank where several mafiosi had accounts), among others, is troubling. These events, which profoundly impacted public perception of Berlusconi, should have been integral to a honest and comprehensive narrative.
Instead, the series seems to focus exclusively on the positive aspects of his figure, almost ignoring the shadows and controversies that accompanied his political and entrepreneurial rise. This partial approach betrays the expectations of those seeking a more balanced and critical portrayal.
