Berlim

Berlin is a Spin-off and prequel to the famous Money Heist, and no one expected it to try to match it. Those willing to come to terms with that will enjoy Berlin. For me, Berlin was the best character in the series, so I really enjoyed his return. His voice, wisdom, and speeches in Spanish are simply a delight, and it must be acknowledged that the new group of thieves is also very well done and likable. Each character is unique in their own way, and there is some resemblance to the previous group. Ramona is like a mix of Nairobi and Tokyo, but she is the right hot element for the series. The entire heist is imaginative, carefully planned to the smallest detail, and it also includes the trademark of the series, the tension and the buildup of the scenes where you know that things are getting serious. For me, the emotions, dialogues, and screenplay all worked well, and the entertainment value is evident throughout the whole series. In the last three episodes, two familiar inspectors, Raquel and Sierra, enter the scene, bringing a decent Money Heist vibe. There is quite a lot of romance, and at times, it has a touch of telenovela, which most people complain about, but I must say that I didn't mind it at all. It is because it is one of the best love stories and romances I have ever seen. Berlin is a great guy and a seducer, so I devoured his show with excitement, including Samantha Siqueiros, who is an incredible beauty that I also fell in love with. Personally, I am very satisfied and looking forward to the second season.. 8/10. (07/01/2024)

Someone is fucking with us. I came here for a clever action heist pice with tricks, twists and suspense like Money Heist, but what I got is an ordinary, embarrassing and simple story with an uninteresting gang without a single idea. This whole series feels like a parody of the original and doesn't even come close. The characters are suspiciously and forcibly similar to the original characters (Nairobi...), the heist is ridiculously simple, with no twists, no big plans or turn over of cops, and everything works out "just like that" due to chance. We don't see perhaps a single clever scene or a single twist that takes our breath away, and worse, instead of focusing on its main line, the script makes it a Hollywood love story, with literally everyone in the gang giving a love speech, solving their problems or falling in love with each other, and I won't even mention how demented everyone is here because they're all running around like headless chickens and doing literally things that no one would do (what do we do after a $50mil heist? Oh yeah, we're going to steal a car, run illegal races, and accidentally lose five million worth of jewelry in it! Sounds logical for top thieves, doesn't it?!). Actually, I find it hard to put into words how they could make such a dud out of such an anticipated franchise, and I honestly have no idea what the experts here are rating so highly, because Berlin just has nothing at all to do with Money Heist and comes across as incredibly dull and bland. A mockery of the original series and the audience. (31/12/2023)
