What we are clear about is that the fans want it more than the one in Berlin.
Alba Flores and Najwa Nimri earned the affection of millions of viewers, in addition to other jobs, for their coexistence in ‘Vis a Vis’. It is hard to believe that it was Nimri’s arrival at ‘La casa de papel’ that ended with the character of Alba Flores. And it is that, although we all have a character with the name of a favorite city, we can risk saying that Nairobi was the favorite of the fans. His death still stings and although that gala funeral that the Dalís gave him, in addition to being one of the biggest nonsense of the increasingly surreal series, managed to mitigate the pain a little, we can say that it has ended up being the most traumatic moment of the Serie.
Treacherously murdered, following the bait of her son who, still abandoned, she loved like the mother she was. The author of that painful murder was Alicia Sierra, the new inspector in charge who, like Lisboa before her, would end up going over to the professor’s side, although not to her bed (well, more or less, but to give birth). Alicia Sierra was a tough character, one who was shown committing a capital crime in the series, that of killing the public’s favorite character. And yet, she managed to end the series becoming the viewers’ favorite character herself.
How do i do it? Well, we don’t know beyond recognizing her talent to the always iconic and charismatic Najwa Nimri, capable of creating incomparable bitches that make you want to follow and protect until death. But if Najwa Nimri was the best of these “extra” seasons that Netflix gave us, the worst, that which made us want to spend every time she came out, were the flashbacks destined for Berlin. Yes, the character of Pedro Alonso is extraordinary, although they wanted to make us forget too badly about the hostage rapes and such… We are referring rather to that filler with his son, played by Patrick Criado, and the wife of him, played by Diana Gómez. All that padding led to an important, if expendable, twist ending in the series. However, above all, each of these sequences served to lay the groundwork for an announced spin-off about Berlin.
In the absence of seeing such a spin-off, it seems like a less risky idea to extract this series derived from the least loved of the last three seasons… Especially if you can make a spin-off of Alicia Sierra.
