Berlin and the 4 best heist TV shows on Netflix right now
By Bryce Olin
When it comes to TV shows, there's absolutely nothing better than a good heist TV show. A team of misfits, strangers, or best friends coming together to rob, usually, very rich people and steal priceless jewels, gems, and works of art? Count me in seven days a week!
Luckily, Netflix has cranked out more than a few great heist shows that are available to stream right now, including Berlin, Lupin, and Money Heist.
Let's get the list of the best heist shows on Netflix started with the most recent addition, Berlin, a spinoff of Money Heist, also known as La Casa de Papel.
Berlin
- Seasons: 1
- Release Date: Dec. 29, 2023
- Creator: Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato
- Cast: Pedro Alonso, Tristán Ulloa, Michelle Jenner, Begoña Vargas, Julio Peña Fernández, Joel Sánchez, and Maria Isabel "Masi" Rodríguez
Berlin just premiered on Netflix at the end of December 2023, and it's one of the most popular Netflix shows in the world to kick off the new year. The Spanish series is actually the prequel to Money Heist, and it focuses on Berlin, also known as Andrés de Fonollosa (Pedro Alonso). I don't want to get into spoilers for Money Heist, especially because it's also on this list, but Berlin focuses on a small group of thieves who are planning an epic heist in Paris. They're going to steal from some of the richest people in Europe in one night.
Come for the adrenaline of a thrilling heist, and stay for one of the best examples of pacing, character building, story, and performance in a Netflix original series. It's truly remarkable what Pina and Lobato pulled off with this story. If you're also a fan of cinematography and stunt sequences, Berlin is beautiful. You can't go wrong with this series on Netflix!
We're still waiting on Berlin season 2 news! Stay tuned.
