Review of the first part of the fifth season of the Money Heist series

Money Heist, as one of the most popular series on Netflix, has released its fifth season in two parts in 2021. The last chapter of this exciting and fascinating series is examined in this article from WTM News magazine.

Expectations are finally over, and the fifth and final season of Money Heist has just aired on Netflix, which has created a lot of hype for its fans in the very first episode. The first part of the fifth season of the series consists of five episodes in which we see the return of the professor (Alvaro Morte) and his team to the Bank of Spain, to finish their second robbery.

The fourth season marked a bitter and shocking moment with the unexpected death of Nairobi, after which all the members of the group united to take revenge on Gandia, and the series ended with Alicia taking the professor’s gun. The mark was gone. Chapter 5 begins with the group uniting to take revenge on Nairobi. Of course, earlier in the trailer of the first part of this season, we saw that the professor was arrested by Inspector Alicia (whispering Nimri) and this scene promised an interesting and unanimous season.

The first episode is called The End of The Road, which is very graceful. In fact, the titles of all the episodes have been chosen in a way that fits the story. One of the things we can be very thankful for is that the series never wastes time and continues from the very beginning, right where the story ends.

Following this pattern, the fifth chapter begins with the scene of the professor’s arrest by Inspector Alicia, pointing his gun at him and trying to get the professor to talk at all costs about the robberies, his gang, and how to escape the bank.

While the professor is engaged to Alicia, Lisbon returns to the Bank of Spain, where he is warmly welcomed by the group, who thus unites with the group, and soon, as “Mrs. Professor”, a title that Tokyo has always given her, gives her authority. Takes over. Before we get to the arrest of the professor and his adventures with Alicia, the group faces acute and difficult conditions; They try to negotiate with Luis Tamayo (Fernando Caio) because Tamayo intends to send troops there.

The first three episodes, which progressed relatively quickly, raised the expectations for fascinating action scenes and brought insane pleasures to many fans. Our beloved thieves will inevitably enter into a two-way war, because on the one hand they have to continue without the presence of the professor and his guidance, and on the other hand they have to fight in a war that they know will cost them dearly.

Like all seasons of Money Heist, this season continues with the famous flashbacks, and this time it goes to a new character named Rafael (son of Berlin). It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

What stands out most in the first three parts of the fifth chapter is the power and efforts of women to achieve their goals. Alicia uses ruthless tactics to talk to the professor. Lisbon, Tokyo, and Stockholm’s powerful and influential talk outside the bank to negotiate with Luis Tamayo are other aspects of the prominent role of women this season. Therefore, the extraordinary play and skill of Nimri and Itziar Etonio whisper in each frame of the fifth chapter is one of the unforgettable points that will arouse the admiration of every viewer.

As for the characters and their change, we see Denver (Heime Lorente) take a more mature approach after taking on the responsibility of raising and educating Cincinnati (Manica or Stockholm’s son) as the godfather. Tokyo with the same head that smells like green beans, we see in some emotional scenes that even deeper wounds bother him and stimulate his motivations. The group that has no specific plans in front of them is in a vulnerable position and who better than Arturo (Enrique Arese) can take advantage of this situation.

With the severe blow inflicted on the group after Nairobi’s death and the events that followed, the voice of Tokyo spreads in the background, describing their situation as orphans who are helpless and unable to make any decisions about their future.

In the meantime, the creator of the series, Alex Pina, should not be neglected, because he refused to change the procedure and the general shape of his work for the sake of international viewers. Money Heist has always adhered to its own format and style, and like the first robbery, it has sometimes created confusing moments for the audience. But if someone followed the story of the series from the very beginning, he could easily understand all the events and get used to it. The series was never predictable and should not be expected in the new season.

The pace of events in the first three episodes ‌ ‌ is so fast that it nails the viewer to the seat, and with the release of only five episodes of the first episode, it seems that the creators intend to prepare you for the final episode, which will air in December.

With the good and admirable performance of the first episodes, the final episode is full of unexpected and shocking events, in which case the death of some of the characters in the series will not be unexpected. The strong and stormy start of this season has given fans a lot of hope and they are all waiting for the episodes to continue and the end of this popular series.
