Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.
**Hello friends, good vibes to all.
At the beginning of this month, the second part of what would be the last season of one of the most global, most watched series that has caught people's attention worldwide was released. To talk about this series without mentioning what a great phenomenon it is would undoubtedly be a mistake because the impact this story has had on people is something that we can consider a cultural fact. With its ups and downs, this great robbery of Spain's national gold reserve ends and therefore we will see if in the end they were able to achieve it.
I confess that since the third season approximately my fanaticism and veneration was gradually fading, I remember that with the first two seasons everything was an eternal "hype" but from then on things for me were not the same. And I say this because I always expected something different than the same robberies and stories inside the walls this time of the national reserve, I think and in my humble opinion, it became a bit monotonous. But today we come to talk about what was the definitive closure, hopefully, of the series so without further ado let's get to it.
We are not going to tell you what the series is about because I think we all know that by now, but what I would like to talk to you about is this season finale and therefore the series. These are the final moments of this great theft of gold from the reserve of Spain, on the one hand the gang is still inside seeing how they manage to do two major tasks: to finish extracting all the gold and to contain the attacks after attacks by the police, army and why not, all the security of a country.
And on the other side we have the professor who is the mastermind trying to achieve all that but with the particularity of the inclusion of the agent Alicia Sierra to the panorama. It is a particularity because with her free things change a lot, as indeed happens in this season which in the end turns out to be a vital element for the outcome of this great story.
But let's get down to business, did I like the way this plot ended? - Not really. One thing we have to be clear about is that fiction is a rule in this series, undoubtedly things happen that in no scenario and in no case would ever happen, but if not, this would have been a failure and it would not sell anything, right? The thing is that within that fiction there must have been a certain dose of reality and that is what I personally found lacking.
It was a very happy ending for my taste; yes, important characters died and this series always reminds you of that, but it was a very diplomatic conclusion where the fans of both sides, if there are any fans of the authorities, were quite happy I would say. The surprise factor in that aspect, EYE, was null if not nonexistent.
Now, it must be said that the changes or plot twists in this season were a bit surprising the truth, the common thread I would say. Some very few credible as I said but others that very sincerely I did not expect them at all and that is precisely what I wanted, that there was something left in this series that impressed me and I think it achieved them.
We have to talk about certain characters and among them I am going to mention only three: Berlin, Palermo and Gandía. I think and without fear of being wrong, they are some of the best characters that this series has left us. Berlin (Pedro Alonso) because the ENTIRE series is practically based on him and he is an incredibly well elaborated character, he has no flaws anywhere, so much so that it is already known that they are going to make a spin-off just about him, so you can imagine how much he caught on with the people.
Palermo (Rodrigo de la Serna) was another who came to the series as a top complement to give more depth to the story itself as well as to Berlin's character. He was the driving force in this last robbery and managed to make people who were at the point of collapse not to decline and continue with the same impetus as always. And finally, the "bad guy" but who acted under duty and justice, Gandía (José Manuel Poga) is a character that you really hate a lot and that shows what a good actor he is. The staging of him imposed authority in excess and I think it was just what they were looking for.
I mention a couple of extra names like Arturo who was really despicable or Nairobi who everything he did was for love, in fact I would say he was one of the characters that people empathized with the most. In general terms the whole casting was a marvel, no matter how minor the role was I'm sure it left a mark on someone and that's what really matters.
All in all, a series that I would have liked to end one way but ended another. Was it bad? - No, but I repeat, for me it was a very "happy ending" and sometimes I don't like that concept because they try to please everyone rather than trying to do what really should have happened.
As it always happened in the past seasons, this fifth and last one will blow your mind because of the way the plan to finish the robbery is elaborated, things always happen that you don't expect, those plot twists that I mentioned, for better or worse, are also present and in the end the sentimental factor plays a very important role here. Those of us who saw and knew the stories of these thieves know a little more about them and in the end you end up getting to know them and get to feel a little of those moments of closure.

I give this season a 7.5/10 because I wasn't surprised by the ending but other things did, the production was still top notch and those plot twists are definitely an awesome bonus. It is already available on Netflix and this season has 10 episodes. Here's the trailer for you to take a look.
