Berlin

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.

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...

I have watched all seasons of Money Heist and of course that series wasn't perfect either (thanks to Netflix), but at least there were some signs of character development, a well written story and more than just pointless cliches.

Berlin is a spin-off from Money Heist but honestly you can't convince me this isn't some kind of parody of the original series. The dialogs and the plots were probably written by some horny teenager with a porn addiction, and the acting is actually worse than in some amateur adult videos.

I am also sure that this website is full of bots because the episodes were all rated 9+ on the day this has released. In a real world this shouldn't be above 5 and even that is being generous. Don't waste your time with this, just rewatch Money Heist if you missed it.

Berlin was the Professor's second in command in the popular 'Money Heist' series. Although not as altruistic as most of his companions, his sardonic humour made him popular with viewers, and he was given the spin off series, 'Berlin' which is naturally about another previous heist, set in Paris.

It's a smaller gang and the ambitions are not as lofty as in 'Money Heist', but the hallmarks of the earlier series are here in the electronic wizardry and the offbeat humour. Alonso carries this series with ease, and the romance which almost upsets his heist gets in the way of the story at times. However, I feel this is intentional and keeps things off balance for the viewer.

I loved the Paris setting, and Alonso's gang are a nifty bunch who knit together well in this fast paced story. A lovely touch was the addition of the two female detectives from 'Money Heist.' They were bitter enemies in the previous series but here they form an amusing and surprisingly effective duo. I loved it all, and hope Berlin gets more outings with Netflix.

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.
