What To Expect?
La Casa De Papel aka Money Heist has a total of 5 seasons on Netflix. In this post, we are going to discuss the first season and total episodes in Money Heist Season 1. If you want us to discuss or review other seasons or other web series, let us know in the comment section below.
Let’s start with how the series is segregated (ON NETFLIX), so you get a better insight into Money Heist Season 1 total episodes. The web series is divided into 5 seasons, 41 episodes in total, so yes, it’s a comparatively shorter series than most American web series. There are 9 episodes in the first season and we assure you, you won’t be able to even notice when the first season is wrapped, and you are onto season 2nd, then 3rd and then at the last episode of season 5th.
The first episode from the list of total episodes in Money Heist Season 1 starts with ‘Tokyo’, one of the 8 robbers who is running after an attempted and failed bank robbery. She then meets The Professor, the mastermind of the whole series, who offers her a bigger and better job: The biggest heist in history. She obviously accepts the job willingly and meets her colleagues, the other 7 robbers. You would feel like a school of robbers when you see the scene, where the professor is making plans and eliminating every minor chance of failure and complications with all 8 robbers. Mind you, it’s just the first episode and dice has just rolled out.
Before heading to a detailed review of total episodes of Money Heist Season 1, let’s get into the opening scene. All the robbers name themselves in the name of states and cities (to avoid revealing identities) and the Professor walks them through the plan and teaches them to draw guns and other tasks necessary.
The grand heist thus rolls out with all the robbers entering the Country Mint: To Make Their Own Money, quite literally. Their plan is pretty clear and simple: enter the mint, take the visitor hostage (to make a protective shield), stay in the mint for 11 days to print their own money, and the professor would stay outside, suggesting and helping them. As simple as it sounds, it certainly needed years of planning and perfection and left no place for errors. In Money Heist Season 1, the total episodes pass in the mint itself, with some robbers operating the money-making machine, others managing the hostages, the professor guiding them from outside, and Inspector Raquel Murillo trying to get a grip on the situation.
Although the whole season is filled with ups and downs and too much adrenaline, the last episodes make it even harder for viewers to sit straight in their seats. Inspector Raquel and her team finally discover the villa where the heist was planned, and the professor is going stir-crazy in his car from the start of events.
It won’t be an exaggeration to say that all episodes in Money Heist Season 1 did what they were expected to do, bound the viewers to the Money Heist fan club and built anticipation for further series.
