Money Heist


Money Heist - Part 1 | Official Trailer | Netflix

We watched the first four episodes last night. We were lured in by the '4 Parts' claim when we were perusing the selection. Turns out that each part consists of several episodes. The first part has 13 episodes, which by most reckoning is a season, so calling them 'parts' is kind of a misnomer.

Anyway, it's grand caper along the lines of The Italian Job. We've got a bookish leader called 'the professor' and a motley assortment of fools to help him out. It seems to be a well planning heist, and they are well equipped, but couldn't you have found a slightly more qualified crew? The old guys seem to do okay, but the kids are just fools. Adding a couple of cute girls to the mix doesn't help matters either.

We wade through the first four episodes and we're waiting for the big reveal when we find out how they are going to pull off this heist, and then the show's over and they've told us nothing. That's when we realized there were a bunch more episodes, episodes that we will not be watching. One little screw-up I can deal with, but continued sloppiness and irresponsible behavior is just irritating.
