While Berlin doesn’t bring anything new to the heist genre, the charm of Alonzo as Berlin makes the prequel worth watching for both fans of Money Heist and newcomers to the franchise.
All of the love stuff really bogs Berlin down. After setting up the premise in a zippy first episode, Pina, Martínez Lobato, and their writers typically spend only a fraction of each subsequent chapter on the progress of the jewel heist and the rest on long scenes of the characters sniffing around each other with amorous intent.
Great plot, not sure if this show was trying to be a comedy or serious at times. Some of the scenes were very cliche, would recommend but can be cringy.
The pace is odd, the heist dull, the characters flat. Less a spinoff than a knockoff, the new show can’t even — despite the creator’s extraordinary credentials on this front — generate suspense.
Not surprisingly, Berlin also relies on contrivances to move its story forward, which is the trademark of poor writing. You can find coincidences in pretty much every episode, and it’s pretty hard to think of the robbery as an ingenious plan when so many things could go wrong and don’t due to several instances of “good luck.”
This is not a spin off but a "romantic" awful cheap production with no charm in any of its characters. They dont use the credit of "Money heist" but ruin the credential **** serie (at least the first two seasons). Just an example, episode two spent more than 35 minutes out of a total of 45 in"romantic" dilemas while the rest is a poorly designed robbery with huge fail points that tale you completely out of the plot. I highly recommend to save your time and don't waste any minute on this absolute failure.
