FTA-TV Money Heist (La casa de papel)

[Frank Bunn]

A Spanish show on Netflix about a gang of crims who are recruited by "The Professor" to break into the royal mint.

It's well written, there's good action, and the characters are interesting whether robber, hostage or police. The plot has plenty of twists and turns. I'm halfway through smashing the first season and there hasn't been a bad episode yet.

Finished season 1 a little while ago. Good viewing although with the subtitles it's not a have-it-on-in-the-background type of show.

Loved it. Not sure I've seen anything better on TV since I last watched Better Call Saul.

Season 2 is just as good!

New season has just come out. Loving it

Suprised there aren't more comments about this show.
All far fetched, but very well made.
Great characters and story telling, but if you don't like continual flashbacks, then it won't be the show for you.

The new season includes a documentary about the show's rise from modest Spanish hit to worldwide attention.

Spoiler

New season has another cliffhanger, so there will be another season to come!

Season 5 has dropped!!!!

I watched all of season 5 over the weekend (only 5 episodes) I didn't think it was up to the standard of the other seasons. It was still very good and the ending was brilliant. The final season drops early December.

For me the series started on a high standard, but the longer it has gone on the more far fetched it has become and my interest has waned considerably, won’t be seeing it to the end. Should of finished after the first heist

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Well F me. How are there not more comments on this show? I thought they were flogging a dead horse but they have delivered. What a final season and what an ending. Never thought I'd cry over an ending to bank heist but here we are. Brilliant show and amazing writers!

That’s how you finish a show.

Agree the quality started to waver but those last 4 eps make up for everything.

In love with Tokyo

Bit annoyed i read those last few comments as I thought the seasons got progressively worse and topped watching. Looks like I'll need to watch 5-6 then

First season was fantastic, maybe 2 was too but watched that long ago I've forgotten. Dropped a lot by the 4th that's for sure

Finished it off really well. A satisfying ending.

Overall really enjoyed this. The first two seasons were definitely the best but I enjoyed the whole lot. Silly at times, some sad moments, lots of laughter, suspense and action.

Definitely recommend.
