Berlin

Set in Paris, Berlin gathers a small, skilled crew to execute an audacious one-night theft of 44 million euros in jewels. The series tracks his careful preparations, the recruitment of specialists, and the rehearsal of a plan that demands precision. As the timetable tightens, personal histories and clashing egos complicate what initially looks like a flawless score. Berlin's arrogance and taste for control shape every move, while sudden setbacks force improvisation and test loyalties. The show mixes tense action sequences with quieter interpersonal scenes, so the focus is as much on why characters take risks as on the mechanics of the heist itself.

Released in 2023, Berlin was created by Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato, expanding a character from the La Casa de Papel universe. Pedro Alonso stars as the titular mastermind, supported by a multinational ensemble filmed against Parisian backdrops.

The return of Berlin reignited interest in the character, prompting fan art, cosplay, and lively online debate. Viewers and commentators analyzed his style, moral ambiguity, and leadership methods, producing podcasts and video essays that unpack his decisions and legacy within the wider franchise.

Audience scores landed around a 7.55/10 average, reflecting generally favorable reactions tempered by some critique. Reviewers highlighted themes of loyalty, ambition, identity, and the tension between charm and culpability, while pointing out moments where the plot leans on familiar heist conventions and pacing feels uneven.

The series drew attention from critics and fans but did not secure major international awards at release. Its strongest recognition came from devoted viewers and critical discussion rather than prize season, with much of its cultural footprint living in streaming conversations and fan communities.
