Berlin

I think the main reason so many people are disliking Berlin is because they go into the show with the notion that it will be exactly like Money Heist but with different characters. In my opinion, Berlin was a perfect showing of what it was trying to make.

And don't get me wrong, Berlin was more like a romance show with a heist in the background, and there were a few moments that left me feeling unsatisfied but all and all, it is one of the better shows (within its category) that I have seen this year

Once the show ended I was left with wanting to see another season. I truly believe that if people start watching with no expectations of how Berlin should be, then it will be an enjoyable 8 episodes.

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.

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 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.

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...
