Money Heist: The Phenomenon (Netflix): This Documentary On La Casa De Papel Shows Everything That Helped In Making This Series The Best!

Exactly a week ago, Money Heist Season 4 aka La Casa de Papel started streaming on Netflix. The fourth season received great response fans worldwide. After giving us an action-packed and powerful season, the makers have shared a documentary on La Casa de Papel titled  ‘Money Heist: The Phenomenon’.

This 57-minute documentary is riveting as the entire series. If you haven’t watched the latest season yet, I advise you not to read this article.

Money Heist: The Phenomenon features the creator of the show Álex Pina and lead actors Álvaro Morte, Úrsula Corberó, Jaime Lorente, Alba Flores, Darko Peric, Jaime Lorente, Esther Acebo, Miguel Herrán and Pedro Alonso. The team of Money Heist tells us about all the hard work that went behind making the show what it is today. This documentary is narrated by show’s writer Javier Gómez Santander.

Creator Álex Pina shared that when the show failed to win people’s hearts after two seasons on TV, they had called it off in 2017. But when it came on Netflix, the worldwide response was great. Owing to the humongous response, Netflix contacted Alex and asked him to renew the series. Álex Pina said that he took 2 months to decide and say yes to Netflix as the show was watched globally and he wanted to give a remarkable story to fans.

The actors express they were heartbroken and cried a lot when the show was called off after two seasons. However, after Netflix’s reach of the show, the stars show the real impact of LCDP.  They saw how a lot of people in different countries would wear the Salvador Dali masks for protests against the govt, to fight for feminist rights and more. However, their show also inspired a few people to conduct robberies wearing the same masks. This was the only drawback.

The names of the characters have been the intriguing factor of the show. They all are named after places and the first character to get the name was Úrsula Corberó as Tokyo. Álex was wearing a t-shirt that had Tokyo printed on it and they decided that will be the name of the lead character in La Casa de Papel.
