Netflix's Money Heist fever had taken over earlier this month as the popular show's fourth season had released. Money Heist 4 starring Álvaro Morte as The Professor, Úrsula Corberó as Tokyo, Jaime Lorente Lopez as Denver, Alba Flores as Nairobi, Darko Peric as Helsinki, Itziar Ituño as Raquel, Esther Acebo as Monica, Hovik Keuchkerian as Bogotá, Rodrigo de la Serna as Palermo, Miguel Herrán as Rio, Pedro Alonso as Berlin, José Manuel Poga as Gandia and Najwa Nimri as Alicia Serria is one of the Netflix's finest shows.
After receiving immense love from fans all over the world, the show has become the most-watched show on Netflix but fans keep telling that they want Berlin, who was shown dead after the first season, back. And it seems like the writers of La Casa de Papel now wish things were different. Speaking with El Mundo, script coordinator Javier Gómez Santander confessed had he known the show would reach such heights of success, the makers would have reconsidered killing off Berlin. "With La Casa De Papel, we go game by game, like Simeone. Chapter by chapter, sequence by sequence, line by line. We do not ever consider how long the show can last. If we got to know the scope of the phenomenon, we wouldn’t have thought to kill Berlin," he confessed.
In a recently released Netflix documentary titled Money Heist: The Phenomenon, creator and writer Álex Pina revealed the pressure of removing Berlin from the show. "Someone said to me, this character doesn’t fit with the times. ‘You should take him out of the series’. I said I had no intention of taking him out of the series. He’s a misogynist, narcissist and psychopath in many ways," he said.
"But we could have a character like that in the series and the audience could freely decide whose side they’re on, right?" he added. "If television is bland it’s boring because fewer things happen. The audience wants things to happen, and there’s nothing better than a villain who we can empathise with,” he explained.
Well, fans from everywhere are now happy to see Berlin in flashbacks as they cannot get his full-fledged character back.
