Haus des Geldes (Netflix version) - Teil 1

Money Heist already had a reputation for being an extraordinary event in the heist genre, and the first season more or less confirmed that. It is funny, original, holds together, and is cast with interesting, unfamiliar actors. The series returns to a trend that dominated in the 70s and 80s, namely a charming gang of criminals who outsmart the state authorities and turn the police into a group of fools. The logical gaps are not big enough to bother me in any way, and we will see where the second season will lead the characters. I was afraid that my impression would be ruined by a series of "shocking" twists and conspiracies like Prison Break, but so far it is not nearly as annoying as that American series. Overall impression: 90%. (29.10.2020)

Season 1 was right up my alley. Well, there might have been a few flaws, but I managed to see past them because I was having a great time. The whole elaborate operation strongly reminded me of Inside Man, only the motive was less honorable (or rather not honorable at all). At least I didn't have to root for any of the characters. Or that's what I had originally thought. Nairobi won me over in the end with her incredibly contagious enthusiasm. The season finale was very frustrating for me as a viewer, the writers probably wouldn't want to read my thoughts after the closing credits. A real treat. (20.02.2020)
