Content

Director and showrunner Dani Levy stages an enjoyable robbery story with skillful exaggerations and social criticism. The tension and verve of the series pick up speed from episode to episode. The height of the crime comedy is high. Levy doesn't shy away from risky directorial maneuvers, and even musical moments find a place in this wild mix. The dialogues convince with wit and fitting timing.
