Money Heist

• It’s a heist-centric multipart drama that upends most clichés of heist movies and celebrates others. It is also deliciously melodramatic at times, riffing on the telenovela style of telling one concentrated storyline that has outrageous twists and much passion.

• One of the supreme strengths of the series is to portray with honesty what is, in essence, an angry and unflinchingly violent handful of souls and imbue them with wit, bonding, indeed the capacity for love.

• Yet all of it is delivered with a keen sense of timing and spectacle, such that the series didn't even need to be dressed up with its anti-capitalist flourishes to keep the viewer breathless for fifteen episodes.

• Perfect!! It completely drew me in, with captivating characters on both the robbers' and the police's sides, and incredible, unexpected plot twists. Lots of action too! My favorite series.

• Undeniably a masterpiece and, in my view, the greatest series of all time. The finale is perfect, the pacing and editing are brisk without any dead air, and the characters are all endearing and exceptionally well-written. I've never enjoyed every single episode so much; the twists are splendid. I recommend it 200%.
