The Review
Money Heist — La Casa de Papel — is the most successful non-English-language series in Netflix history. Alex Pina's saga of a master criminal called The Professor and his team of thieves pulling off impossible heists against the Spanish government turned Dali masks and red jumpsuits into a global symbol of resistance. The show proved that language is no barrier to worldwide fandom.
Fun Fact
The show was originally a limited series on Spanish network Antena 3, where it had modest ratings. Netflix acquired it, re-edited it, and it became the most-watched non-English series on the platform.
