Money Heist (2017–2021)

A sad example how sequels driven by greed can destroy a great show

[5/10 · 29 September 2020]

I loved the first two seasons of this show: a great cast, smart script, good production. It really could not be better than that and I, usually not so 'generous' with my grading gave them a solid '10'. And then the disaster stroke: obviously the producers of this show, dazzled by the success of the first seasons decided to push for the sequel, with catastrophic results. Well, should they invested more money and hired more talented script writer, given the excellent cast, they might have produce a decent sequel that could even match the first two seasons. Alas, it did not happen. The third season was not so successful carbon copy of the first two seasons, while the rest of the seasons degraded to a pure soap opera. As a result, with a heavy heart I had to downgrade my score from 10 to 5. What a shame!
