Lacasa De Papel i.e Money Heist is a Spanish crime thriller series. And then owned by Netflix. Netflix then turned the first season of Lacasa De Papel into two seasons to create 'classic' each episode of 45 mins. First of all money heist is not a normal 'rob the bank' story. It also has other elements. Throughout the runtime the show keep you on the edge of your seat. As the episode ends you crave for the next episode to see what's going to happen next. Money heist is an excellent example of intriguing storytelling. If you haven't seen it yet, go now and watch it. It's highly recommended.
Now coming to review, just like any other series it's not a perfect series, it does have some mistakes, some imperfections, but come on which does not have this.
So we are going to review it according to the good and bad aspect which we experience during watching the show. So that you can decide to watch it or not.
The Bad
1. The Last Two Episodes.
We know that it's season finale and if we want to finish it everything should be fine and our protagonists should escape everything they've gotten themselves into. But the problem is about morals. From episode 1 inspector Raquel was set up as a morally strong inspector and can do anything to solve the case. She got suspended and then go on a quest to find professor on her own. But when she got caught by professor and professor tell her about the banks, she becomes his partner in crime. There is no problem if she goes with professor, but they should improved it. It's just not appealing enough. also the thrill starts from the first episode. But when it comes to the ending it really was underwhelming. It would have been better.
2. Background stories of the characters.
There is no argument regarding performances and character development and how they react to every situation. But one thing that we felt missing was the character background stories. All the characters had good background stories but the problem is we don't feel anything about their past.
The Good
1. Performances.
Each and every actor in the show played their part very good. We never feel like the performance of any of the character is going downhill. The cast of the show delivers stunning performances. We feel everything about any character going through certain thing. Also we got irritated by actions of some characters and also feel bad for some. I literally shed tears when Berlin and Moscow died. Berlin's been my favourite character throughout the show. The scene when Moscow was dying and holding tokio's hand was the most emotional scene for me. And this is because the stunning acting performance.
2. Storytelling.
The storytelling is compelling, for the full runtime we feel the thrill. The amazing twists and turns in story, the constant suprises make the story unpredictable and engaging. Once the hiest starts there is no turning back the story runs smoothly and grip the audience to there seats. You really crave for the conclusion. Like you want to know how this is going to end but at the same time all you want is to just watch it and enjoy the compelling story.
3. Character development.
Hands down this series has one of the best character development. You feel everything about a character, like what that character is doing and why. The emotional relationship between the characters is shown very brilliantly. When the characters talk about their feelings, or when they react to certain situation totally makes the audience think. When I was watching the series I felt empathy towards every character in the story.
This was all about money heist season 1 and 2. This is what I felt during watching the show. The good and bad aspects of the show are for you to decide whether you want to give it a try or not.
