Here, we see a different side to Berlin, his carefree one. He was morally distraught and terminally ill in Money Heist, but in Berlin you can see his fun side. The anti-hero supporting storyline does not lessen his appeal or intention, as he is also sleeping with the auction house owner’s wife.
Also, while Money Heist is more of a resistance-based thriller series, Berlin is a purely heist-oriented one, focusing on the nuances of its execution, as well as the passion put into it. In 2021, after Berlin was declared, actor Pedro Alonso shared his gratitude with TVLine, for being able to touch the hearts of so many people. “We started this series walking into the unknown and we have been winning ever since. You, fans, are our accomplices and thank you for that.”
