It's utterly ridiculous. And we couldn't stop watching. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail Jun 22, 2018
It's a heist-centric multipart drama that upends most clichs of heist movies and celebrates others. Go to Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut May 10, 2021
4.5/5

Tthis series is full of outlandish plot points in virtually every episode. Yet I kept watching. Why? Partly because the series is dynamic and unusually well structured... Go to Full Review Álvaro Onieva Fotogramas Aug 29, 2019
The good direction including the action parts, the photograph and the visual commitment to red as an identity color, a script that measures well how to dose revelations and twists. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof Aug 29, 2019
Its first episode showed its high level, presenting its protagonists and exposing the situations they will have to face with enough flippancy. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Cinema S @cinema_sensei Aug 24, 2026 I really enjoyed how this season slowly pulled me into the heist and introduced such memorable characters. The Professor's plan, the constant tension, and the twists kept me wondering what could possibly go wrong next. It isn't perfect—some moments drag and a few plot points are hard to believe—but the addictive storytelling and mystery made me want to keep watching. A very strong beginning See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 13, 2026 The first season of this heist series is an addictive phenomenon that shines thanks to its clever writing, full of plot twists and masterful psychological games. The dynamic between the Professor and the authorities maintains constant tension, while the characters' charisma creates a strong connection with the viewer. See more Meddy S @RT51609981 Jun 3, 2026 One of the smartest series I've ever watched, I highly recommend it. Come and discover how being intelligent can become a deadly weapon. See more Magdalene R @Magdalenezabinski Jun 1, 2026 This is one of my favorite shows ever! It is hard not to marvel at the genius who came up with this script. See more Paolo F @XKP-Producer May 22, 2026 This is one of the most addictive crime series I’ve watched in years. The pacing is incredibly fast, and every episode is packed with twists, tension, and unexpected developments. Just when you think the plan is under control, something new happens and changes everything. What makes the show even stronger is its cast of characters. You quickly become attached to some of them, while others are impossible not to hate. Their relationships, emotions, and conflicts make the story feel alive and unpredictable. The series constantly leaves you wondering: "What will happen next?" The combination of suspense, action, and emotional moments makes this first season impossible to stop watching. It’s smart, intense, and highly entertaining from beginning to end. See more Lisa M. @GypsyLisa May 17, 2026 Worth every second! This series all parts will keep on the edge of your seat! Laughing, mind blown & sometimes crying. See more Read all reviews
