Berlin

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...

A very entertaining sequel after the great Netflix series of La Casa de Papel. It's challenging, amusing and takes sometimes your breath away.

I really didn't imagine so good.

In fact I loved very much how the love story between Berlin and Camilla has been developed. So much fantasy in the story and an incredible countdown of their escape from Paris. This is highly recommended when you like heist movies with adventure touch.

All the actors were top and delivered outstanding performances. It shows that many details has been worked out accurately even if some actions.weren't executed deeply. But it didn't disturb at all if you can accept it just episodes for fun. 7/10.

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.

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.

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.
