#Money heist season 2 episode 1 movie series#
Right there and then, Money Heist easily became my absolute favorite TV series – not only because I am a complete sucker for the enemies-to-lovers trope but also the romance between Sergio and Raquel was so well-written. NetflixĪnd that was how the show officially stole my heart. The only dent in his otherwise perfect plan was that he ended up falling in love with his nemesis, Raquel Murillo. He even conveniently befriended Raquel Murillo, the inspector of the case, at a bar which enabled him to successfully remain one step ahead of the police’s agenda.Īll of this was like a game of chess to Sergio Marqunia, and to say that he was very good at it was an understatement. He outsmarted the cops numerous times – tricking them into doing exactly what he wanted them to do. The Professor efficiently communicated with his team through walkie talkies when guiding them through various situations to prevent the police from tuning into their calls and/or tracing his location. He had each of his colleagues call his or herself a city name to prevent his or her true identity being exposed to the police. Sergio gathered his half-brother and a group of seven misfit strangers to help him pull off the biggest heist in history – printing 2.4 billion euros in the Royal Mint of Spain as a tribute to his father who died robbing banks to provide the money to care for young Sergio when he was in the hospital. Have you ever heard of a group of criminals plotting for five months to not steal money but print it? That is exactly what Sergio (El Professor) Marquina and his crew are all about! Money Heist accurately delivers the fact that everyone has the capability to do good or evil in a plot that has never been done before. “Each of the characters has different motivations and is neither good nor bad, and that was intentional, but there was also the idea of showing the injustices of society. Some people have a lot of money and some people struggle to reach the end of the month and so it was a way of showing that and that’s also why you have more sympathy for the robbers because they haven’t got money and when they need more they just do what the bank does – they just print some more. The good characters aren’t very good and the bad ones aren’t very bad – just like life!” NetflixĪfter my sister gave me a good recap on what I missed (I later on skimmed episodes 1-3 and the scenes that I did not see in episode 4), I was immediately immersed into this very unique story. It was in that very moment that just like Raquel Murillo, I did not know who the good guys or bad guys were anymore – but that is the point! According to Itziar Ituño – who portrays Raquel in Money Heist, Not only was it made clear that papa didn’t raise a murderer but it was also brought to my attention that these criminals were more than their labels. The fact that Moscow – another criminal partaking in the heist – was horrified when he believed that his son killed the hostage speaks volumes. The following scene introduced me to Moscow, Denver’s father, who was having a nightmare of his son murdering Mónica since he was under the impression that Denver did indeed kill her. Right away, I was very fascinated at how Denver – a criminal – still had a sense of morality in him and cared about the life of a woman that he was holding captive.
My sister then informed me of the backstory of how Denver refused to submit to Berlin’s orders in killing Mónica but instead shot her in the leg as she allowed him to do so to fake her death. The very first character that my eyes laid upon was Denver in the scene from episode 4 of season 1 when he was tending his hostage’s, Mónica Gaztambide, gunshot wound in her leg. It all started one night in April when I found my sister watching the show in our home theater.
My love for La Casa De Papel/Money Heist is like Sergio Marquina’s love for Raquel Murillo – unplanned. I did not initially intend to become emotionally attached to the Spanish crime-drama. WARNING: Spoilers ahead for all seasons of Netflix’s Money Heist.
