mediocre; from someone who never saw the original
Never watched the original La Casa de Papel, so this review of of the show as purely a standalone.
DNF @ep2 , due to the sheer stupidity.
I'm not usually a stickler for details or even things making sense. I don't care if a plot has holes in it, as long as it's entertaining. Sadly, this had the former, but none of the latter.
Episode 1 started off strong, and then ep 2 just plummeted.
The biggest affront to me was the fact that The Professor, despite being s smart and intelligent and having a meticulous plan that supposedly accounts for every little detail, is getting all of his enemy intel from inviting the chief negotiator to his COFFEE SHOP.
....A coffee shop near the vicinity of the scene of the crime, in a surrounding city area that has been supposedly evacuated, where besides the negotiator and her few visits, there are rarely ANY OTHER CUSTOMERS.
in this empty coffee shop, the professor is reduced to eavesdropping on the negotiator when she makes calls about their next steps to outwitting the bank robbers, and he hovers stupidly right behind a sliding door, and gets caught the easiest way possible.
the himbo is also extremely stupid, his name's Denver. And the hacker, forgot his name already, is also just as easily outwitted.
You're constantly wondering if the professor has accounted for character flaws like these in his highly meticulous plan, right? When he tries to call and ask whats going on, they hang up on him, and he instead gets his intel from TEXTING THE NEGOTIATOR AND INVITING HER OVER FOR FOOD AT HIS STUPID CAFE
and then the supposed sexual tension between the negotiator and the professor was just terrible and make me deeply uncomfortable. why is this man asking when she had her last orgasm over negotiations? like i get it was supposed to be sexy and all but the actors really weren't pulling it off, and it was just so.....uncomfortable.
The only remotely interesting characters here are Berlin and Tokyo, and them alone isn't enough to keep me watching.
for a show that promises such an amazing heist, i expected top notch pacing, and intelligent plot lines. But every single time the camera pans away from the scenes at the bank, to tat blasted, stupid coffee shop, I want to shoot myself in the foot.
please, end my suffering. its so bad.
the word cringe, is cringe, and it makes me cringe just writing it, im stuck in an endless loop of cringe; but its the best word for those coffee shop scenes, and any scene in ep2, ever. CRINGE.
