Money Heist Review and thoughts (Parts 3, 4, and 5)

  1. I hate Gandia so much. This shows how the show did so well at making us cheer for the thieves.
  2. Palermo is a nutcase. It makes sense that he was in love with Berlin. Crazy loves crazy.
  3. I wonder what secrets the Spanish government has.
  4. God, how did Alicia ever become a negotiator? She has no people skills.
  5. Oh, sneaky. Having someone pretend to be a hostage. That is good thinking.
  6. I love Marseille. He loves animals.
  7. How dare Gandia touch Helsinki! Helsinki is just adorable.
  8. So, Nairobi loves Helsinki, Helsinki loves Palermo, Palermo loves nothing. Oh, and Bogota loves Nadia.
  9. Oh god, Nadia in an electric scooter or whatever it is is great.
  10. What is wrong with Arturo? He is a freak of nature and needs to just shut up. update: he took advantage of that woman! Wtf!
  11. Monica calling herself Stockholm is such a good on the nose joke.
  12. Who are these other guys on the heist? We really don’t get any of their background.
  13. Poor Rio. All the trauma he must be dealing with.
  14. Gandia and Palermo are both crazy. I can’t tell who is worse.
  15. It’s rather convenient that Gandia just found Nairobi.
  16. Every time a character starts talking about the future in such a hopeful way, something bad will happen to them. It’s writing 101. Edit: I hate that I was right.
  17. That funeral for Nairobi was such a great move by the Professor, and also hard to watch.
  18. You have to love these soap opera moments.
  19. Rio is represented as the weakest link, yet he is the strongest for dealing with all his trauma.
  20. So, they just left Gandia lying there?
  21. You think the Professor would have had some security at that warehouse he’s hiding at.
  22. Berlin has a son? Dude sure is father of the year.
  23. I hope Monica kills Arturo.
  24. How does Alicia think torturing the Professor and delivering him to the police will erase the fact that she tortured Rio?
  25. I’m still trying to figure out where Tatiana went since she wasn’t part of the first heist.
  26. Angel just hates the Colonel and I love it.
  27. I loved the ferret. So random and so amazing.
  28. Gandia is alive, dangit.
  29. The Colonel and Alicia would make a great couple. They both suck.
  30. My precious reptile. That is a great line.
  31. Beat up Gandia, thank god. What is that yell? Is he the Hulk?
  32. Monkey fights?
  33. Arturo has lost his freaking mind.
  34. Oh thank god. Monica to the rescue.
  35. Alicia will totally go into labor and need the Professor’s help.
  36. There it is.
  37. The birth plan lol
  38. Names my parents called Gandia: Gandajaro, Gando, Gonorrhea
  39. I hope the Professor sanitized his hand.
  40. No, Helsinki, get to the museum now!
  41. Why is Gandia back in there? He was almost paralyzed.
  42. This is some type of Indiana Jones security thing.
  43. So, he planned that heist just to see if his son is up for it?
  44. I swear, if they kill Helsinki.
  45. Anti-explosive robot?
  46. Why haven’t we gotten any background on Mattias?
  47. Are we really about to cut off his leg?
  48. Oh, thank god. Not cutting a leg in the middle of a warzone.
  49. The Professor was shot in the leg. Shouldn’t he be losing a lot of blood? We never saw him bandage it.
  50. “You’re the sexiest woman in the world, but I love you for your brains.” Best way to flirt.
  51. Finally, Alicia reminds the Professor he’s shot.
  52. The hostages just running in a circle is so funny.
  53. The Professor always coming in clutch, especially with the great lines.
  54. They aren’t murderers, they are thieves.
  55. Toyko and Nairobi had a cute friendship.
  56. Who seriously let Gandia back in there? Dude is just as unhinged as Arturo.
  57. Berlin was in prison. Did Tatiana turn him in?
  58. Did…did she just throw a chicken?
  59. Not the soccer kick we wanted, but a baseball throw of a grenade works too.
  60. So, Tokyo was the first recruit.
  61. I like Benjamin. He learned from his daughter and it’s so wholesome.
  62. Props to Toyko for still fighting on while bleeding from her arms and legs.
  63. She better not die.
  64. If you’re going to go out, go out in style.
  65. Tokyo totally could have made it to the dumbwaiter.
  66. What is Alicia’s plan now?
  67. So, Tokyo is still the narrator despite being dead?
  68. Poor Rio. He was such a soft boy and they destroyed that.
  69. Alicia is really trying to get her kid killed, huh?
  70. Still haven’t seen the Professor bandage his injury yet.
  71. How did Alicia best the Professor? She just gave birth and still beat him and tied him up.
  72. They beat Pietro to the punch with that video.
  73. Did the Professor just chew through a car seat?
  74. Couldn’t they return to one of the houses already searched to hide?
  75. Of course the cat comes to the rescue.
  76. They just want Mattias to get beaten.
  77. That list of supplies Benjamin gave made me laugh. Mops. So random.
  78. Using the garbage truck and garbage cans to sneak past the army was brilliant.
  79. I really thought Tatiana was going to say she’s seeing Berlin’s son.
  80. I CALLED IT
  81. Oh Mattias is getting a kick to the nuts for sure.
  82. Palermo is a terrible dancer.
  83. I want a shirt with “Bella Ciao” on it.
  84. I really don’t see Monica getting out of this alive.
  85. Mattias: the intern
  86. I don’t get why they made the bars again.
  87. How did the Professor not have a plan for they discovering the stormwater tank?
  88. Berlin really did lose it before the heist began.
  89. So, Rafael and Tatiana heisted the heisted gold?
  90. It’s still such a shock to hear Toyko’s voice as the narrator. She’s been dead half the season.
  91. How did they move 90 tons of gold in 20 minutes?
  92. Oh, it was in the trucks.
  93. Who’s the mole? I don’t think there is one.
  94. The Professor just experienced some CSI thing.
  95. The Professor is getting a little unhinged.
  96. I keep forgetting about that soldier hiding in the walls.
  97. Raquel called out the Professor and he is losing it.
  98. Of course Rafael and Tatiana had to get dressed nicely to bury the gold.
  99. Trojan horse is supposed to be something bad disguised as something good. The surgeons coming in were good so it fits.
  100. Why are Denver and Monica still naked? Jeez.
  101. I am once again reminded of how much I hate Pietro.
  102. Will the gold be a bargaining chip for the gang?
  103. I’m glad Alicia is finally admitting that she legit just had a baby.
  104. This proves that the Professor trust Alicia fully now.
  105. Aw, cute hug.
  106. They were never planning to keep the gold, were they?
  107. The Professor as a professional of nightlife. Truly a great dancer.
  108. I hope he paid that guy for his car.
  109. Professor never got new shoes.
  110. At least the soldiers are letting Helsinki sit instead of kneel.
  111. Pietro has officially lost it.
  112. He doesn’t have the power to grant that to any of them.
  113. They made a how-to video and I love it.
  114. Palermo was made for youtube videos.
  115. I wonder if the Professor ever gave the gang tests on his lessons.
  116. Denver is going to cave and tell Pietro something.
  117. What exactly is plan Tom Thumb?
  118. DON’T DO IT DENVER
  119. That was a great answer, Denver.
  120. Damn, the Professor saw his dad get killed in a heist. Explains a lot.
  121. Angel is so fed up with everything.
  122. Stock market plummeting. What does it mean? It means we’re broke like America.
  123. Not the Professor calling Pietro an idiot lol.
  124. Off to swim in the ocean with an idiot, I mean Pietro.
  125. Why are the soldiers just letting them talk? They aren’t good at this.
  126. That poor old lady, just stuck in this insanity.
  127. Is that the real gold?
  128. I called it.
  129. They are going to say they are all dead.
  130. Totally faking all their deaths.
  131. The crowd crying over their “deaths” just shows how much they really connected with the gang.
  132. Victoria is a cute baby.
  133. I really thought the helicopter was going to be shot down.
  134. WOOO FREEDOM

What a ride. That was such a good show. Every time I guessed something correctly, I felt like I was the Professor. There was no way they could escape “alive” this time, so the fake death scheme made a lot of sense early on. I was peeved that Nairobi and Toyko both died, but considering we lost three of the main cast in the first heist, it makes sense that we’d lose some here. I expected more deaths, so I’m glad they didn’t deliver on that expectation.

The addition of more heist members just allowed for so many more fun characters to join the fray. I personally loved Marseille and Benjamin the most of the new cast, and Helsinki was my favorite of the original gang.

Most hated characters: Gandia, Pietro, and Arturo. We never did find out if Arturo died or not, but I’d like to think he did.

I would like to know what the note said that Alicia gave to Rafael. And I hope someone gave some money to Nairobi’s son.

In conclusion, this is such a great show. The characters are believable, the story is captivating, and the twists keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. I highly recommend this show.

And if you like Money Heist, you’re in luck. Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area has recently finished up filming and will be available on Netflix soon.
