Story Line – 

The story line is based on a criminal mastermind who calls himself the Professor who brings 8 thieves to lock themselves and take hostages of the Royal Mint and the Bank of Spain as he guides the thieves and tells them the further elaborated plan. The interesting thing is Professor gave names of all the thieves the name of the cities.

Our Views –

(Spoiler Alert!!) 

The part focuses on starting the elaborated heist. First starts with getting all the thieves together at a place and giving them a name like Tokyo, Berlin, Nairobi, Moscow, Rio, Denver, Helsinki and Oslo. 

They start the heist of the Royal Mint. The police assign the negotiator and Professor involved romantically with her. 

In this part or in fact in the whole series we can see that almost for every hiccup in the plan the Professor has a counter plan lined up and everything goes good.

The role of the Professor has given justice to his role very flawlessly. I have enjoyed many Spanish shows but this turns out to be one of the best one. 

As this is the first part and the story just starts to unfold and the anticipation is very high and it’s so fun to see all the problems the heist gives to the thieves and how the professor guides.

In the part 2 of money heist it can be seen that it has been rushed as compared to the first season. There are times when we hate Tokyo due to her deeds in the heist and how that creates trouble for the Professor.

Here Berlin dies and at that point starts to get very attached with him. But he then sacrificed himself for the team.

At the end of part 2, after the heist is completed we get back and start thinking that there is no way this story can continue but then they throw a romantic angle which is then led to a new vendetta seeking heist.

All the actors have their adequate importance and all did their part very flawlessly. Even though you enjoyed the part 1 and 2 very much there still might be chances that you may not enjoy the part 3 and 4.

We can see that now it’s not only the question of heist but this time it’s personal and they even face betrayal from their own inner circle. 

In the upcoming part 5 the show takes a U turn and some angle might be explored in the heist.

Eagerly waiting for part 5.
