1981 doesn't feel like that long ago, does it? The early '80s were definitely a fascinating time in Spain, and if you're familiar with the country's history or love a good heist story, this series is one worth checking out.
The lead actors, familiar faces from Money Heist, deliver strong performances, and Patricia Vico stands out as Isabel, the tough-as-nails editor-in-chief. There are some standout moments among the band of robbers, too, particularly with the youngest meber, Tomy Aguilera.
The story's twists genuinely took me by surprise, offering an insightful glimpse into Spain's early, chaotic democratic days.
My only critique is that the pacing felt a bit uneven. I think it could have made a fantastic two-hour movie instead of a miniseries.
