Berlin2023

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.

Fun but with no surprises and good acting. If you have nothing to see a friday night this is the series for you.

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.
