I found myself smashing the rewind button on my remote control more than once to replay their scenes.Īuthor sidebar two: Both actors, aside from being ridiculously good looking, are 43 years old. It also helps that the actors are absolutely wonderful in their roles and the chemistry between them is off-the-charts. The writers cannot be commended enough here: What could have so easily slipped into an over-dramatic Telenovela-style territory of star-crossed lovers, which would have had watchers rolling their eyes, instead feels earned and authentic (sadly not a given for TV relationships these days). While Tokyo is the undoubtedly the centerpiece of season 1, the relationship between the Professor (aka Salva Martin aka Sergio Marquina) and Raquel, the woman he's driving to distraction with cat-and-mouse games during the day and who is driving him to distraction with very different kinds of games in the evenings they spend together, forms the crux of season 2.

Who just so happens to have uncovered the thieves' original hideout and training ground, chock full of DNA and incriminating evidence and has moved one step closer to getting her man. By falling in love with Raquel Murillo, the lead investigator on the case. Indeed, it is love that is everywhere during Season 2 of Money Heist. For those already caught up, season 1 ended with the mysterious and cerebral Professor violating rule number 1 of his perfectly laid out plan: No attachments. As The Beatles once sang: Love is all you need.Īuthor sidebar: The series' original title La Casa De Papel, which literally means The House of Paper, sounds way cooler than the bland, boring Money Heist, whose title alone may turn off viewers. The heist, cool and fun as it is, is merely the staging ground. Multiple love stories in fact: The first flush of romantic love, the bond between brothers, comrades-in-arms, the deep, abiding connection between father and son. What the viewers didn't know - they couldn't have known really - is that they were watching a love story. Similarly, the greatest trick the Spanish TV show Money Heist pulled off was convincing its viewers they were watching a heist drama: of a bunch of thieves breaking in to the Royal Mint of Spain, printing and making off with a billion euros. They say the greatest trick the devil ever pulled off was convincing the world he didn't exist.
