If there are still people complaining about the second season not being here and the first one only having 13 episodes: The original Spanish series currently (June 2018) has 15 episodes (part 1: 9 episodes, part 2: 6 episodes), each episode being 70 minutes long! That‘s what you‘re seeing here. Netflix made 40-55 minute episodes out of them, resulting in 13 episodes for the first part and 9 episodes for the second part, so that’s 22 episodes overall. A little confusing, but everything is right in Trakt.tv. There are 15 episodes in the spanisch release and 22 episodes in the Netflix release. And it‘s two parts in Netflix, not two seasons (yet).

The first 9 episodes aired in spain are the first 13 episodes in Netflix and the last 6 episodes aired in spain as a second part, are also the second part in Netflix, but with 9 episodes. It’s that simple ;)

And for those of you being like „Fix it!“ ... Trakt.TV pulls data from other databases (TMDB, TVDB), so that‘s where data comes from. Those databases are community driven, so if there actually would be an error, you could fix it yourself. But there isn‘t, so everything‘s fine! :)

Before I give thoughts on the show, first let me explain the episodes/season number mix-up. The original Spanish release of this show is only 3 seasons total. Netflix decided to turn 3 seasons into 5 parts, and they turned the first seasons 15 episodes into 22 (by cutting down the runtime to 45 minutes rather than 65).

So season 1 on Trakt is equivalent to part 1 AND 2 on Netflix (though Netflix has 22 episodes compared to 15 on here - but it's the same content, the episodes are just edited shorter on Netflix).

Season 2 on Trakt is equivalent to part 3 AND 4 on Netflix. On Netflix, both parts are 8 episodes each, and those correspond perfectly with the 16 episode season 2 on Trakt.


Finally, season 3 is the only one that actually matches up the epsiode numbers exactly on here and on Netflix - though it's called part 5 on Netflix.

Now some thoughts on the show: this is a hard show to recommend or talk about. The first heist (season 1 on here) is very good, and it's some of the best heist/crime TV you'll see. I was hooked from start to finish (despite some small plot holes or unbelievability). 8.5/10


But after the first heist, things go downhill VERY quickly. The rest of the show is based around one more heist, and for the most part, it's an entertaining watch. But what was a pretty well written show, suddenly becomes a badly written show, filled with character inconsistencies, plot holes, and a whole new level of unbelievability. The first 8 episodes of what is season 2 on here (part 3 on Netflix) is pretty good. But the 8 episodes that come after are not so good. Overall, it's an entertaining watch, but a HUGE step down compared to what came before. Season 2 gets a 6.5/10.


Lastly, we come to season 3 (part 5 on Netflix). This season is just bad. Aside from the last 2 episodes, it's not good at all outside from a few decent moments. I've truly never seen a TV show deteriorate in quality so quickly and consistently as this one does, especially not when a show started off so great in the beginning. 4.5/10 (would be lower if not for the satisfying finale).


I'd recommend watching the first heist (season 1/parts 1 & 2) but unless you're really keen on being disappointed, don't watch any further. Fortunately it's not a long watch.

It's interesting, but sadly it's too unrealistic. Nothing goes wrong. Everything goes without unexpected problems and if those problems occur, they get fixed magically. And there were several scenarios when in real life they would go a different way. For example, at least 4 snipers and several Police units shooting to our characters, but miraculously not a single bullet touches them or cops driving with suspect in a van get attacked by others to free the suspect and put a bomb on the van. Cops get panicked and scared and they leave the vehicle. If those people came to rescue the suspect and help her to escape, they wouldn't put a real bomb on the van and kill her in the van. It's illogical. But somehow cops seem stupid and can't think of it, which again makes this show unrealistic... And there are lots of such flaws in this show, which ruin the experience, I can't give high ratings to this show. Sorry. In real life, things don't go like that.

This series just speaks to you! I'm not sure why, but Money Heist was simply an amazing series that allowed you to get to know the cast and everyone involved. The phenomenon that it created was amazing and you really feel like you are part of the story.

I have watched this series a few times already and each time, when sometime major happens to a character, it still hits hard, like the first time watching it!

There are so many coincidences that it's tiresome, everything that happens can be planned in advance, there's inexplicable love, and even at the end, I wonder if the robbers remember what their original purpose was
