Genius Season 2 arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Genius Season 2 takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. Season two explores how the passionate nature and relentless creative drive of Picasso—a Spanish-born painter, sculptor, poet and playwright—were inextricably linked to his personal life, which included tumultuous marriages, numerous affairs and constantly shifting political and personal alliances. Antonio Banderas and Clémence Poésy lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2018. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, Genius Season 2 delivers. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Antonio Banderas is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.
