Money Heist S5 Review: Best Way To End The Show

After considering the emotional parameter to the hilt in Money Heist S5 Part 1, it was time to bring in the rest of the elements for Part 2. The gang lurched under the grievous death of Tokyo, but not for too long. They returned back to the business of deriving the gold out of the Bank of Spain, a cause that now turned into a tribute to Nairobi and Tokyo. The Professor assembled his pieces too, as the immediate mess formed by Alicia Sierra by escaping his den, had to be resolved. Colonel Tamayo begins to be as lost as we predicted. But in this part, there is more from him.

Palermo comes back to charge only to prove why he is the best man for the position. The audiences are taken back in time to Berlin and he would commemorate every time they solved the minimal roadblock while planning the near to impossible heist. While Part 1 was regarding Tokyo “living many lives”, Part 2 probed into a deeper back story of Andres and Sergio losing their father.

Before the Money Heist S5 review,  we knew Part 2 is delivering curtains down on the most loved series so giving closure to some of the open ends as expected. Denver-Stockholm-Manila found a resolution. And so does the rivalry between Alicia Sierra and The Professor. While being handcuffed and hanged, the Professor also proposes to Raquel. The heartbreak of Berlin, Benjamin taking responsibility in absence of The Professor, and Arteche in action were some of the noteworthy screenplays. The audience had some fan theories that came true while some shockers as well. It was expected to see more of Rafael, Sagasta, and Tatiana. But the makers favored not wasting much time on them, rather picking the most required plot points from their characters.

And just when the audience almost lost hope for the gang’s survival, we got numerous unexpected twists. The Professor arrives at the bank, but not how the audience expected. The viewers got some laughs, fun moments, ‘Pamplona’, and tears of happiness when the gang sang “Bella Ciao” for one more time.

The most intense take away however remains the gold grains that finally made their way to the stormwater tank. Actor Ursula Corbero stated in one of the BTS (Behind The Scene) videos that she wanted to return in flashback “partying” with her fellow crooks, and she indeed did that. She even made The Professor to dance.
