La Casa De Papel Part 4

If you haven't seen season 1-3 don't read further. I feel like I won't be able to write this without going into spoiler territory.

Okay, so season 4 then. In my opinion it was probably the tensest season to date but also the worst at the same time. I liked season 3, but I do feel like season 4 has lost part of that spark that made it so special. That said the season does have some good and cool moments.

-Alicia is nuts, like clearly not alright but also I root for that madwoman, you go girl do you own shit, even though it means figuring out where the Professor hides. I understand the pressure of the workplace and being a woman with a job in a male dominated area. But I can sometimes feel like they treat her quite badly and punish her for being loud, bold and unapologetic about what she wants, which I don't feel women should have to apologize for...

-Tokyo wasn't a total angry idiot this season. She was probably my favourite in season 1-2 but then in season 3 she was just plain annoying. It was so frustrating to watch my favourite character turn into this hot headed, angry person who makes impulsive choices that have consequences for all. This season she was much more likeable and I liked that she stepped up to be a leader and was pretty good at it.

-Rio...I don't know here. I feel like the show is sometimes so good and portraying all of their characters as bad people and like they don't get along with one another. Or they do, but it's fake. So many years of hanging together they can all sometimes be assholes to each other and in the already tense situations this is unwelcoming. I feel like Rio has kind of disappeared, it started in season 3 and it continues now. Which is a shame because I always liked his lightheartedness and when he was together with Tokyo. Now, while understandable, he feels like a shell, and that the production don't want to spend too much time with him. I hope this changes.

-Okay we have to talk about Nairobi's death....She was my love. I loved her so much....and her death was the worst thing I have ever seen. It was just handled so badly. And the fact that she was killed by the racist security guard. That made me fume. The show already doesn't have that many female characters, killing off the best one feels cheap and stupid. I cried when she died, because I was too angry.

As a whole, this season has quite a few missteps, but I still wanted to watch more, it's the strength the show has, and I hope season 5 will be better than this. And then after that it will end.
