One year is a long time — long enough for adreaded pandemic to spawn devastating variants, and for regimes to rise andfall. In the world of Money Heist though, the time has not just slowed down, itseems to be frozen. The bullets that were fired in the Spanish show’s season 4will finally be finding their marks now. But the Netflix show more than makesup for the wait by delivering a lesson in shock and awe.
Money Heist doesn’t draw the curtains withits final season as much as it drops a rather heavy grenade and burns the wholething down. The sexy gang in red jumps right into the action and doesn’t let itdrop. You better be prepared for the ride because they are not going to make iteasy with you. It is full throttle, baby.
Though the first two episodes don’t tell usmuch about the actual motive (one can only guess) of Alicia to come after themaster planner, we do expect some big revelations going forward. The fact thatwomen get a bigger pie of the series is already well established. Lisbon or“Mrs Professor” is now calling the shots. In fact, after watching the initialepisodes of the show, I only remember its women – Lisbon, Tokyo, Stockholm,Manila, and definitely Alicia Sierra.
While Money Heist Season 5 delivered aninteresting package of twists and turns, it ended on an emotional note withTokyo's death.

Fans were disheartened with her death andexpressed their emotions in a number of tweets. One Twitter user said,"Tokyo used to be selfish and reckless. But tonight, we saw a differentversion of her who thought about the group more than herself. Money Heist justsurprises us every time but it fucking hurts."
Another demanded a miniseries portrayingTokyo's past life. A fan tweeted, "Berlin, Nairobi, & Tokyo may forgethow they lived, but their legacies will always be remembered."
