The Great Heist

It is very interesting to see the "history behind the history" as I was living in Colombia when this happened and really very few details were known to the general public as to how the heist really happened. Characters are believable and the plot follows what went on behind the scenes. Great product and the mini-series format helps the story-telling

I really enjoyed this series. The acting, scenography and cinematography are superb. I suffered and laughed with the characters, especially with the 2 main ones, Molina and Chayo. Thumbs up!

Very reminiscent of The League of Gentlemen (1960 UK), where there's always that sinking feeling that the Law is never more than 2 steps behind. But the object - to lead the audience to side with villains is done PERFECTLY here. There are also moments of humor, such as the treatment of the Police Lieutenant in charge of the bank's ramshackle "guardias" - priceless! There's few TeleSeries you could watch a second time, but this one's among those precious few.

So this was about the biggest Paper Money Heist of last century. No Weapons, No Bloodshed, No Modern day communication gizmos yet $33 Million(23 Billion Pesos) Stolen. Now let's compare this to 'La Casa De Papel' better known as Money Heist. The series no one was talking about until it made it to Netflix and got ruined in the 2nd Story. Obviously, this isnt grand. It has great set of characters played by finesse, punctuated by nifty Nicknames. It captures the sequence of events set in 1994 and picturizes them in a highly efficient way. Theres enough tension build up that you need an in a heist situation. Theres your regular opportunity, Theres the plot, the design, the recruitment, the plan, the pulling off and the escape. It captures the aftermath as well. This is not a Grand Setup but if you really want to re-live the genius behind one of the greatest heist without violence, give this Short series a Go. You wont be disappointed for sure. Theres style and theres substance as well. Not Fake like the 2nd Season(2nd Heist) of Money Heist

Really enjoyed this little gem of a series. The acting is superb and the story is equally exciting, tense, sad and funny. It's only six episodes long, so what have you got to lose? Highly recommended.
