Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) Season 3 episode 02 review

The Professor and his gang plan a long diversion this time as police are prepare for them. The money rain, makes it simple for them to distract police and as special army forces, they enter the Bank of Spain. They take over each and every main section of the bank.

Professor and Berlin's past with Polermo being present for major part of those conversations slowly unfold in flashbacks. We see, Professor's dilemma in planning such a heist but Berlin convinces him that it will be their masterpiece. He is motivated to take this job only after completing Royal Mint heist and he plans it as a tribute to Berlin, with war as an outcome, if things go South.

He feels uncomfortable with Raquel as his partner as he feels he is getting distracted but he doesn't want her to be away too. They both start being the outside support for the group. Their initial plan of taking over the bank, is executed perfectly. But they still need to look into the problem of Governor.

The series again goes into depth of planning and execution of heist. This time, they take time to explain how it is possible to go into a bank that is guarded the most. They use security of the back and civil guards as their extended partners in crime and that makes it for a exciting heist first stage.

People being on their side and helping them is taken big advantage off too. The Professor also makes everyone aware of how the planning is meticulous and timed precisely with timing. He wants all of them to execute each step perfectly with no flips. The action lovers will be slightly disappointed with the pacing but the second episode ends on a high. Writing is again highly engaging and swift at parts needed. Execution is top class as the production seems to have better budget than the first two seasons.
