How to Rob a Bank is a thrilling new show from Viceland that premiered in 2019. This show is a docu-series that dives into the world of bank heists and the people who commit them. Each episode takes a look at a different robbery, examining the tactics and strategies used by the thieves.

The show is hosted by actor and comedian Nick Helm who takes the viewers on a journey through some of the most daring and ingenious robberies in history. Helm is joined by a team of experts in law enforcement, finance, and the criminal underworld who provide insights and analysis into how the heists were planned and carried out.

The show is visually stunning with reenactments of the robberies and interviews with the people involved. Each episode starts with the background story of the target bank and the surrounding area. The audience is introduced to the bank's history, the security systems in place, and the surrounding environment. This sets the stage for the heist and provides crucial context for the ensuing events.
