     After five years of incredible action and drama, Money Heist/La Casa de Papel has come to an end. This popular show saw its 5th season released on Netflix in December of 2021. 

      The biggest Heist recorded in television history has had the audience on its feet for all the action that has been happening in La Fabrica de Moneda y Timbre (Spain’s Royal Mint)  and Banco de Espana (Spain’s Bank). History, love, and tragedy all happened in two places, and in many instances there was too much confusion as to what the next move would be for the La Banda (The band). Music also makes the series enjoyable, as the writer and creator Alex Pina made the historical song Bella Ciao resonate with the series plot and brought back the beautiful symphony of the song back to its popularity. Its characters have garnered the love and attention of the entire world: Tokyo portrayed by Ursula Corbrero, Berlin played by Pedro Alonso, Alvaro Morte who plays the mastermind known as El Professor. It is an exhilarating series- suspense, action, and love are the fundamentals that make this series an enjoyable one to watch. Millions across the world witnessed an extraordinary piece of work that will remain as one of the best series Netflix ever aired on its platform.  However, the time has come for the Heist to end and say Bella Ciao!
