Berlin

The way I was expecting before watching this series was at peak at first few episodes it got my attention but later on they only started to show the characters back stories i.e relationship not even related to heist but yeah I felt like watching some darma rather the story based on heist it should be, this time it kinda disappointed because they had already set thier standard so as we are audiance will be expecting more, so more then heist I've only seen the darma and damn they finish the heist so easily in few episodes itself the plans aren't even logical and proper also the characters are not much concentrating on the heist rather they're more upto the side quests so that should've been corrected and that's we expect to having more content related to the plans and the heist so as far as I know am not that satisfied it should have been better.

The title of this should have been "the love life of thieves!" - very disappointing, messed up and very far away in format from the original as the priority here was to find the right love match for each of the participants! Unnecessarily melodramatic to the point I had to fast forward most bits to get back to the story.

Also parts were too far fetched and lacking detail, like for instance they were all super meticulous about not leaving forensic signs anywhere, and yet they lost a necklace and a bike?! Come on! This was a parody - not a serious heist story, all any of them cared about was their feelings. And how is it possible that people who live a life of pure excess, indulgence and zero exercise can cycle on the mountains for days?!

What about the women investigators who look older here even though this period precedes money heist - did they run out of actors??

Fun to watch, funny at times, and even moderately suspenseful, offering a bit of the feeling of the original, but overall not nearly close to the brilliance of the money heist script.

If you liked the character of Berlin in Money Heist, and enjoyed that show's more quirky and playful moments, you'll probably enjoy this series. It's more of an ode to love than a pure heist tale, but there is a clever heist that drives the story, and which provides some surprising and very satisfying twists and tension. It was a little melodramatic in places, but maybe these scenes were meant to be tongue in cheek. However what really stood out to me was the humour and the terrific production. The sets, locations, lighting and editing were all top notch and the casting of the main characters was great, with good chemistry between the romantic couples. It was frequently hilarious, very imaginative and kept me entertained throughout.

This series is about a heist but it turned out to be a love story for all the main characters. Like many Spanish drama the dialogue can be very corny and the over acting is omnipresent.

Let's begin with Andres (Sergio) who is like a "Wish George Clooney" but with a touch of evil. Like Clooney, he puts in danger the heist for a woman. I understand his pedigree but he is simply too arrogant and even not "manly" enough to be a lead, specially is the plot has to do with love making. And, like we say in PR, "she (Camille) is too much for him".

The "Robin" is Damian who at some point was like in a competitive race with Andres for the title of who suffered more for a woman. Any resemblance with Einstein is pure coincidence.

The only positive outcome is Begoña. She is a very attractive woman. I discovered her in this series.

The music is not bad...

Cliché - Simping - Overreacting

Overall, the series started off promising, but I'm genuinely disappointed with where Alex is taking it - drowning in clichés and overreactions. Those mundane scenes should fade into the background, but no, Pena's signature has to be forcefully stamped on everything. Simping, simping, and more simping - it's become a parade of tired tropes. Money Heist set a bar, and this feels like a heart-wrenching downgrade. If this trend persists, it's on the fast track to becoming a Bollywood melodrama. As someone genuinely disappointed, I hoped for more than this. Kudos, Alex, for turning what could have been a riveting tale into a predictable saga.
