Netflix viewers have been eagerly anticipating the Money Heist spin-off since it was announced in 2021 - and now they've finally got it - there seems to be one common complaint.
The newly-released series titled Berlin follows the earlier stages of the titular character of the same name (played by Pedro Alonso) who attempts one of his most extraordinary heists yet.
Take a look at the trailer below:

Alonso's character is tasked with assembling a gang in Paris with the aim of stealing 44 million euros' worth of jewels in one night.
Their aim is to somehow steal 63 royal jewels from 34 cities… all in one day.
The series, which takes place in Paris, was filmed in the French city and Madrid.
As fans of the original show will remember, a group of strangers get together to rob the Royal Mint of Spain with a plan created by the Professor (Álvaro Morte) and executed by Berlin.
Money Heist creator Álex Pina yet again leads the charge, as does Sky Rojo collaborator Esther Martínez Lobato.
“It’s a trip through the golden age of the character, when he robbed around Europe crazy in love,” Pina explained to Netflix.
Viewers have been promised tension, travel, romance and humour, with Pina telling Alonso: "That’s the most surprising, the comedy. You’re going to make people laugh a lot."
Joining Alonso is Michelle Jenner as Keila, Tristán Ulloa as Damián, Begoña Vargas as Cameron, Julio Peña as Roi and Joel Sánchez as Bruce.
Overall, the reviews seem pretty positive so far, as one fan wrote: "I’m finding Berlin more intriguing and interesting than Money Heist!"
A second gushed: "Money Heist: Berlin is out I’m AWAKE!"
While a third chimed in: "Money Heist: Berlin is out and I’m locked in."
"Woke up and instantly turned on Berlin. If you watched Money Heist you already know," quipped a fourth.
However, there does seem to be one common complaint as Netflix has changed the original English voice actor from Money Heist.
"Was really looking forward to Berlin on Netflix but the changed the English voice actor from Money Heist and now I can't watch it," one wrote.
"They really changed the voice actor for Berlin in the new money heist spin off and idk why," another added.
"I’ve been rewatching Money Heist cuz I felt like it with no idea that they’re dropping a Berlin spin off show today. Please can someone tell me WHY THEY CHANGED HIS VOICE ACTOR. He sounds stupid," someone else said.
All eight episodes of Berlin are available to watch on Netflix now.
