ahh but I got a bit into Spanish box sets and they are ridiculously sentimental and histrionic which ordinarily I can not abide (Lupin) but they are so gloriously so that Money Heist is actually very gritty for themI have to see it out.
It seemed to hit a stage where they just wanted a plot twist for the sake of a plot twist. But I’m not taking anything away from how great it is
Thinking about it, prison break went through a similar thing. Just put pointless none story plot twists just for the sake of it
if you are going to go full pelt sentimental and make it work that is a feat in itself which can work
Money Heist has the sentimentality but it has the underpinning of workable plausibility and you are on their side from the start
for me it drifted when they got money and notoriety and made it too expansive and loose
the cramped conditions of the original series lent itself to a tighter narrative
I'm hoping the next series will be more polarised and just as rewarding
also the nature of the story was that they weren't as prepared as they were for the first, that circumstances had spiralled out, which deprived you of the satisfaction of everything going to plan with a few deviations
that stroker who cheated on his wife and got the woman pregnant in the first and then went on to hero celebrity in the second... that was gold
