Money Heist: Berlin Disappoints Fans and Critics Alike

Despite High Expectations, the Prequel to the Popular Series Money Heist Fails to Deliver on Character Development and Suspense

Money Heist: Berlin, the prequel to the popular series Money Heist, has been released on Netflix, but reviews suggest it fails to live up to the original.
The new series focuses on the character Berlin, a controversial figure from the original series, and his heist crew.
Despite the return of original series stars Itziar Ituño (Raquel Murillo aka Lisbon) and Najwa Nimri (Alicia Sierra), the series has been criticized for its pacing, character development, and lack of suspense.
Berlin's character, who was a fan favorite in the original series despite his controversial actions, is described as being less compelling in the prequel.
The series also introduces new characters, some of whom bear similarities to the original crew, but critics suggest the series fails to fully develop these characters or their relationships.
