Money Heist S5 Part-1 | Non-Spoiler Review | Bella Ciao, Ciao, Ciao !!!

This review of Netflix's Money Heist Season 5 does not contain spoilers. Volume 1 of Season 5 was released on 3rd September and Volume 2 is coming on 3rd December 2021.


Regardless of what I conclude in this review, there’s no denying that Money Heist has been an overwhelming success. Not just in popularity and viewership for Netflix, but the story as well.

I mean, it’s wild, right? Money Heist has all the absurd stories and twists that should have derailed the series a long time ago, but somehow it’s made the ridiculousness work. The entertainment is so concisely wielded into the story mapping, and the characters are so well-defined that it’s an intoxicating, addictive formula. Money Heist is going to be difficult to beat for Netflix. This is by far one of their best series.

It helps that the series provides comfort. Audiences will press play on season 5, knowing that it will not let them down. There’s always a sense of anticipation when audiences enter the final season, and there’s this anxiety that it will blunder on the last leg. Money Heist season 5 removes those fears from the first episode. It’s cinematic by nature. Action-filled to stimulate the brain. The characters engage with the soul. It feels like comfort food. Your heart paces, but you feel at home.

All the writing efforts come to conclusion in season 5. Having well-delivered characters pays off. There’s a sense that you’ve been on a journey with them since season 1. They feel like your friends, and at times, family. The heist team has formidably made the audience root for them with their story. It’s not about being a criminal or good versus evil. Season 5 shows how the concentrated messages created so far have worked. It’s easy to become accustomed to the anti-establishment. To feel defenseless by authorities. To go against the status-quo in a world of systemized economic processes.

As the promotional work, and the rhetoric language used in season 4, Season 5 is war. Pure and simple. It’s rarely about the thrill of a heist, or the safety of hostages, or the greed for riches. It’s family. It’s togetherness. And it’s also an abundance of survival. All rules are thrown out of the window in season 5 as both sides are desperate.

Of course, there are variables involved; Professor is captured by Alicia Sierra, a character with pierced eyes and a no-mercy approach. The bank is complicated to maintain for a hostage situation. Plus, the authorities, led by Colonel Tamayo, have lost their heads. The army has came in led by Colonel Sagasta. It’s not about a civilian rescue anymore. Season 5 induces psychological warfare while the media documents it all, allowing the general public to form opinions. 


Netflix cruelly gave us the first five chapters on the initial release, but it’s transparent that the game has changed as the story journeys towards a conclusion. Deep down, I do not want Money Heist to end, but in reality, it would be selfish to demand further seasons with these characters. We’ve exhausted them to a pulp as we have analyzed every inch of them since season 1. I trust that the team behind Money Heist could create more stories, making them wilder, but it does reach a point where it has to be accepted that, all good things must come to an end.

So while we all wait for the final five episodes, in which I have all the confidence in the world that they will pull off an exciting finale, it’s time to realize that this journey is over. Bella ciao, ciao, ciao!

Actuality behind being a Devil

Picture Source: Pinterest At least for once in a person's lifespan, they rebel, don’t they? Well, the cycle of rebellion comes accompanied by retaliation and realization, which can be traced back to the creation of the universe as we know it. Since the upbringing of a child, they are taught a deeper sense of what’s right or wrong so they won’t get trapped in guilt and vilification of their deeds, but the laws of nature aren’t so simple, I guess. The one above all had something different planned for us as the boon of will was bestowed upon us, but some things are better understood the hard way. If we look into our past, every source of guidance was handed to us by the Way of Mystics which creates a major impression overall, guiding us to the right path. Stories that have been shared of God’s favorite son known as Samael The Light Bringer,  the wisest and charming among all, got so wonderstruck of his fruition that he dared to question the actions of The Almighty .

Dream’s End

 I had a fever dream, of a utopian state A town with no slaves A city with no plagues A flawless place Somewhere I can feel free Where I can be the real me Where the crooks don't steal Where dreams aren't killed Where every obligation is fulfilled And lives are more than just red and blue pills Where the birds don't have to sing inside cages And love isn't just some ink on torn pages Where colors don't fade And we're not divided by borders or races And we don't have to read between the spaces And we're not forced to sing each other's praises Where the world is at peace Where heaven and earth meet A place where a perfect society could be. -Ayush Tripathi

Life in rural areas

Life in rural areas   Far away from hustle and bustle, there are places where people still prefer living in the simplest way that disconnects them from all the distractions of the urban areas. The greenery of the rural suburbs is the ultimate beauty of the villages which sets them apart from other inhabitable places. Not only are the rural neighbourhoods quieter and more picturesque, but they also provide a better and improved quality of life. It has also been found that being more connected to the countryside can have a very positive impact on wellbeing, helping to improve the quality of life as the residents have nature and wildlife all around them. Wildlife is more frequently found in rural areas than in cities because of the absence of people and buildings.     The view of the herd of cattles grazing over the fields, the fishes swimming in the distinct ponds having lotuses protruding from t...
