La Casa de Papel also referred as Money Heist [English version] is one of those shows you shouldn't even bother viewing if you haven't viewed it from the starting. The gripping narrative is like an extended heist movie except it gets better and pacy with every episode. And they kept it up for 3 seasons which is very big achievement. On Netflix it is one of the highest viewed TV show. Money Heist, created by Álex Pina is down with its Part 4 with the Professor and his masked/unmasked crew having completed a successful heist (robbery) at the Royal Mint of Spain has made a comeback to mint some more of the drama and thrills they're best known for serving. That being said, it has been ages since we all have saw The Professor (Álvaro Morte) and his criminal ensemble. Rio (Miguel Herrán), Tokyo (Úrsula Corberó), Helsinki (Darko Perić), Palermo(Rodrigo de la serna), Denver (Jaime Lorente), Stockholm (Esther Acebo), Nairobi (Alba Flores) etc. back in action and donning Dali masks. I've been following la Casa de Papel for a while now and without any shame in admitting that I watched all of Season 3 in a day binge-watching from start to finish. The comeback curse seemed to have failed and unlike many shows that fail to create the magic of their initial pilot/parts/seasons this one seemed to be exempt to that law. Season 4 was watched in a similar quick succession (binge watching). While I won't get into the details of the whole season, I watched the whole Part 4 for the review so that you don't have to.

Is Money Heist Season 4 worth watching?

The short and simple answer is Yes, it totally worth your time.

Money Heist Part 4 starts with some really good twisty and thrilling sequences. On one hand, Nairobi is being desperately needs a surgery to remove the bullet that went through her chest. On the other, the Professor has his own shattered heart to worry about his own escape from the police and army who are out all-guns-blazing looking for him in the woods where he initially planned his escape with Lisbon. With the presumed death of his beloved wife/girlfriend on his mind, his part of the plan seems to be failing already and need for improvisation urged. Back in the bank, its business as usual, except new entrant and designated leader Palmero (Rodrigo de la serna in as martin) and Tokyo (Úrsula Corberó) are in a power struggle. While Rio is dealing with his break-up with Tokyo and his trauma from being tortured by the police. These all things we know all thanks to Part 3 Finale. What really works for Money Heist is the constant state of illusion which leads to curiosity and thrill it puts you in. Like those in action on screen, you’re drawn into a nail-biting suspense-thriller. The track ‘my life is going on’ works magic and it is one most prominent quality of this season. Each and every actor has done their work up to the standards they have set-up in the past 3 parts and I personally like how Tokyo character is shaping up now very well and her character can depict a good story on his own. Tokyo character can be get used for making a spin off which I would be very option. Characters Narrative or Characterization is very good as always. Storyline is quite pacy as in the past. Director Álex Pina has done a good job with the direction as the story is more thrilling than it was before. Screenplay, Background score and cinematography is very good. There is lots of thrilling action sequences and there is lots of drama as always. Twists and turns are in every episode sometime you can’t even make a prediction what going to be is there next move? Or what they are going to do? The only thing which let me down in the season is we can’t connect with them like we did in the Part 1 or 2 as at that time we had sympathy for them but now we can’t or at least I can’t. But my last verdict about Part 4 is it’s very good and for me it 9.5/10. And make sure you have food and charger with you while watching this because you are going to binge watch this.
