Nairobi's death was genuinely one of the most emotional ones I can remember from recent years.

Completely agree. One of the best characters in the show as well, portrayed brilliantly by the actress too.

Just on that last spoiler:

Spoiler
The documentary on Netflix has a section all about Nairobi's farewell - including the actress breaking down in tears while giving her goodbye speech. Although I'm sure she'll still appear in loads of flashbacks in Part 5.

Spoiler
I read from the producers of the show that the reason they have flashbacks is because they didn't think Berlin would be as popular as he was when they killed him off so they had to find a way of bringing him back

Spoiler
Professor and Berlin are brothers yes. Don't think Palermo and Berlin were lovers - that was my read at first but then there's the scene where they kiss and Berlin doesn't feel anything, despite loving him and Palermo being infatuated.

Yeah, Doc, they definitely weren't - he told Palermo after that kiss (paraphrasing) "I love you as deeply as I can, but not that way" etc.

Finished the third season of this last night - I think I found it to have slightly less depth in terms of the characters/relationships than the previous two (it felt short, like it could have done with one or two more episodes to build up before you realised you were in the second half of the season), but absolutely delivered in the end.

I'm not one for binging, so I'll probably catch up with a couple of other things in the next 2/3 months and then return for the fourth season.

Fifth and final part just announced by Netflix. Filming starts next week.

Somewhere along the way, I'd presumed that season four was it!  Hopefully we get a run of announcements now, though I'm not sure if things will be different in the US - I'm waiting on dates for the next instalments of Ozark, Strange Things, and You, as well as Sex Education.

I stopped after season 1 for a break as i do with most shows that have 3 seasons or more (about 9 months ago).  Is it worth investing the time for the rest of them?

It's not a show I've thought I really must get back to it

So far, I think I've mostly found it 'entertaining' - it's a good one to watch for some cheesy laughs, and for some drama & tension that is more exciting than stressful.  I don't feel the same stress I do when I'm watching Ozark for instance, nor do I feel I'm rooting for the characters like I do Sex Ed, or feel as invested in it as - say - Homeland.

I don't think it'll stick in my head as up there with my favourites, but I'm enjoying it - as mentioned, now looking forward to the 4th and pleased to learn of the 5th.

Sounds like you're a bit like me in the sense of not wanting to watch something endlessly for ages.  I tend to have two season on the go at once and will watch 2/3 episodes of each per week - I'll pick up with a couple of pairs of seasons of different series' once I've finished those, before returning.  I feel like I enjoy & 'savour' the shows more, but like it helps me actually not forget that I'm watching them in the longer-term!

Yep, got through them over the weekend.

Spoiler
Still think it's great, although the big shootouts ended up being a bit boring for me.

Alicia was brilliant in these episodes, and is still a massive threat to the Professor I think.

Tokyo's death was a shocker - kind of telegraphed with the focus on her lost love, but this show so often has characters almost die that I assumed the same would happen here. But no, she's definitely dead! And took Gandia with her, thankfully.

Is Berlin's son going to make an appearance in the present day in the final episodes? I assume so, otherwise it was a bit of a strange storyline!

You missed the celebration of Arturo getting shot then the digest at them trying to revive him, let the twat die!

I've been thinking the same about Berlin's son. Why else introduce him? I know they regretted killing Berlin off because he was popular so that's why they keep him in but it would be a pointless subplot if his son doesn't come into it.

Was devastated about Tokyo, and Helsinki, but what a way to go! [\spoiler]

Watched the 1st season over lockdown when on furlough - I assume this is still worth investing time into given it's series 5?

Season 5.

Spoiler
Watched episode 1 last night.

Genuinely awful. As in, extremely close to not bothering with another episode of it again levels of awful.

I mean, leaving a load of (loaded) semi-automatic weapons next to a bunch of hostages is ridiculous enough, but then the entirety of the episode subsequently becomes this Hollywood-esque shoot-out, with Arturo seemingly becoming Rambo. Brain dead television at its worst.

It's always had a little bit of this, i'm happy to concede, but the ratio was skewed to the point of it becoming unwatchable. What really made this show worth the watch was the Professor and the way that he anticipated moves and manipulated situations in ways that you didn't see coming. That's what I was in it for. Not daft gun fights brought about by brain-numbingly stupid plot lines.

That's the whole point of that episode though isn't it? The Professor is otherwise indisposed so is unable to keep them calm and organised, hence the shit show that we see

I'm really struggling with the last season. Two episodes in and I'm ready to give up on it which is a shame because I really enjoyed the first couple of seasons. Same repetitive shit over and over again  :butt

Not feeling a ton of excitement for it sadly, but the final five episodes debut on Netflix on Friday. Will definitely be watching, I did enjoy the first half although there was far too much focus on massive gunfights (and not enough of the Professor professoring).

Just finished the final episodes.

Spoiler
I thought it was a real return to form after the disappointment of the first five episode. Felt much more about the Money Heist we know and love - no huge shootouts, just good old heist action. Obviously ridiculous and melodramatic, but that's why we liked it so much, no?

Some fun twists along the way, particularly when the gold was stolen from them by Berlin's son and ex-wife. Assumed he'd link into the main plot, but thought it'd be helping the Professor rather than hindering him.

And the conclusion worked for me. Taking the gold hostage to secure the survival and safety of the gang made sense, and it made a decent point over the craziness of the financial system which countries rely on. Not quite buying that it would stay secret that the gang faked their deaths with the help of the military, seems that there's a huge number of people who would know and it'd almost certainly leak  ;D also reckon that they'll be in need of some plastic surgery, or else people will cotton on pretty quickly that these world-famous bank robbers are strolling around cities across the globe.

Watched the whole thing over the last month or so, really enjoyed it.

Not going to get into the ins and outs of it all, there was bits i really liked, bits (the crazy shoot outs) that i got a bit bored with, but overall i liked it. Thought the ending was good, couple of twists and turns i didn't see coming in the last couple of episodes which kept you guessing,

Spoiler
I did think that when they were all in the helicopter flying off into the sunset at the end, that Tomayo would have shot it down or something!
