La casa de Papel 5 (Money Heist) - Finally ended.

 



Although I watched the first part of season 5 when it was released, I waited for the second part to do this review. I wanted to be sure they wouldn't ruin the show last minute, as happened in many others before. They didn't.

When the 5th season came out, I wasn't that willing to watch it. I was tired of the concept. It was time to finish the story. I gave it a try, and fortunately, it was a good ending.

Nerve-racking as always

When I started watching this season, I thought, "Oh, I knew it, this is terrible." I didn't like the first couple of episodes: too much shooting and fake blood. Things got better, though.  

Around the third episode, Money Heist becomes the nerve-racking, full of emotion show we were used to. Impossible to look away from the screen.

Alicia

This character grew into one of my favorites. She evolved wonderfully throughout the story and ended up as a magnificent character. I loved it, but she has her flaws as well, right? 

Let's face it, in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, you can barely move, but she fights. And she is good! She is a superwoman. 

Death

Once more, there are losses, and some are painful for the group. But that brings some realism. A plan like this would never go without casualties.

Losing Tokyo was tough for the gang and an emotional and sad moment for the viewer. Yet, absolutely perfect. 

Surprising

Even when I thought the show couldn't surprise me anymore, it did. The professor isn't the smartest of them all, after all. Berlin's son was an excellent addition to the plot. 

As I said at the beginning of the review, I thought I wouldn't want to watch any more of it. Yet, by the third episode, I couldn't walk again from the screen.

The end was slightly absurd and yet, so perfect. I loved the show.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

  Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV.  A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood. The show includes an incredible variety of characters with their own charm and depth. Mary (Sheldon's religious yet compassionate mother), George (his often misunderstood father), and his siblings, Missy and Georgie, are all given their own moments to shine.  The cast and their chemistry make this show stand out. You start to care about each character's struggles and triumphs. This show quickly stands on its own as a heartfelt, family-driven sitcom. Especially in its last seasons, the show becomes a touching portrayal of small-town life, family dynamics, and personal

The Three-Body Problem: Unexpected and Challenging

  The Three-Body Problem on Netflix is a captivating and intriguing series that delves into the realms of science fiction with a unique and thought-provoking storyline. You can't let go from the first episode, even when you feel lost in the plot. Engaging and Intriguing The show excels in drawing viewers in with its complex narrative and engaging plot development.  From the beginning, the audience is immersed in a world of mystery, suspense, and scientific concepts that challenge the imagination. The intricate web of characters and events keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Flat Ending to Anticipate Season 2 After so much suspense and mystery, the season finale was a bit disappointing. Yet, it left us wanting more. I believe that for many viewers, it heightened the excitement for what lies ahead. With the foundation laid in the initial season, there is great potential for the upcoming season to address any lingering questions and provide, once more, good entertainment. Chal
