Money Heist
A criminal mastermind who goes by "The Professor" has a
plan to pull off the biggest heist in recorded history,
to print billions of euros in the Royal Mint of Spain.
To help him carry out the ambitious plan, he recruits
eight people with certain abilities and who have nothing
to lose. The group of thieves take hostages to aid in
their negotiations with the authorities, who strategize
to come up with a way to capture The Professor. As more
time elapses, the robbers prepare for a showdown with
the police. It's a well thought out story with vast
opportunities to explore and have fun with from many
angles of the storyline.

evidence suggests otherwise. In the hopes of furnishing McMillian with the
freedom he deserves, Stevenson immerses himself in the fight for justice. As
affairs unfold, Stevenson is faced with seemingly insurmountable roadblocks.
With his grit and resilience, he'll stop at nothing to prevail.
