Well, it's no surprise as the riveting crime series won Best Drama at the International Emmy Awards and the Premios Fénix.

On the one hand, it was a short and concluded series about a robbery. On the other hand, the protagonists end up being millionaires and putting them together for another robbery seemed something remotely impossible, but we realized that this was a band with different characteristics than we see in the stories of perfect robberies."
