Berlin and the Lady With an Ermine
Season 2
8 Episodes
5.5/10
I started watching the new season last week on the road and finished it up this morning at home.
The season has Berlin being somewhat blackmailed into a new heist. He agrees, but quickly decides to take matters into his own hands and plan a 2nd heist against the person who hired him.
The team he had in the first season return.
In this season, Berlin falls in love and gets married. Relationships between team members and outsiders cause problems.
The Professor makes a cameo and brings up ‘The Money Heist’. It looks like at this time nothing has been planned and Berlin seems to not be interested in doing it.
The first season and this season highlights that Berlin is obvious the mastermind in planning ‘Money Heist’ and not the Professor. Both seasons show why Berlin/Professor kept a stern ‘Micro-Management’ on the operation. There were mistakes made by Berlin in both seasons that were not made in the original series.
The 2nd season with some questions on…
• What happens to Berlin’s wife?
• Why was this team not in the original series? (Or if they were, did they operate in the background)
There wasn’t much for suspense this season. Both Heists play out in the season finale and are the highlight of the season.
Netflix has this listed as a Limited Series. I looked into it and there is no update on a 3rd season, but the creators are planning on doing other stories in the ‘Money Heist’ universe with Netflix.
The actor playing Berlin is slowly aging out of the role, so they gonna have to work quickly closing out his backstory to connect directly into the original series.
Synopsis
Berlin and his gang reunite in Seville for a new heist, pretending to steal the Lady with an Ermine to get to their real targets, the Duke and Duchess of Málaga.
