My Take
Álex Pina earns my respect as a storyteller who turned a Spanish-language heist drama into a global obsession. Money Heist gave the world red jumpsuits and Dalí masks, but underneath the spectacle is a sharp sense of timing and human pressure that I suspect traces back to his early years as a journalist. What I appreciate most is his refusal to play it safe; a writer from Pamplona who studied at the University of Navarre helped prove that streaming could make non-English drama universal. I'm always curious to see what convention he overturns next.
