Money Heist, originally titled La Casa De Papel, stole fans’ hearts as it easily became one of the most-watched shows on Netflix.
Its plot revolves around a group of people who were recruited by the Professor to carry out two heists, one on the Royal Mint of Spain and the other on the Bank of Spain.
If you are a huge fan of the Spanish crime drama and have already done binge-watching the first part of its fifth season but find yourself looking for a watchlist of similar series and films while waiting for the second part, My Pope Philippines has some recommendations for you!
