La Casa de Papel

I admit, I am late but now I have totally surrendered. La Casa de Papel (The House of Paper) – or the english title, Money Heist – from Netflix is one of the best TV shows I have seen in long time.

La Casa de Papel is a Spanish heist crime drama television series created by Álex Pina. The series traces two long-prepared heists led by the Professor (Álvaro Morte), one on the Royal Mint of Spain, and one on the Bank of Spain.

The series was initially intended as a limited series to be told in two parts. It had its original run of 15 episodes.

Netflix broadcasted the series in 22 shorter episodes and released them worldwide, beginning with the first part on 20 December 2017, followed by the second part on 6 April 2018.

In April 2018, Netflix renewed the series with a significantly increased budget for 16 new episodes total.

Part 3, with eight episodes, was released on 19 July 2019. Part 4, also with eight episodes, was released on 3 April 2020.

A documentary involving the producers and the cast premiered on Netflix the same day, titled Money Heist: The Phenomenon (Spanish: La casa de papel: El Fenómeno). In July 2020, Netflix renewed the show for a fifth and final part.

Don’t miss this TV show. It is sensational.
