The much-awaited third season of the popular Spanish heist series, Money Heist, begins with a bang in the first episode titled “We’re Back.” The episode wastes no time in re-introducing us to the central characters of the show and setting up the dramatic conflicts that will drive the season's storyline.

The season opens with a recap of the events from the first two seasons of the show, reminding viewers of the thrilling heist that the team pulled off at the Royal Mint of Spain. We are reintroduced to our favorite gang of robbers – the Professor (Álvaro Morte), Tokyo (Úrsula Corberó), Lisbon (Itziar Ituño), Denver (Jaime Lorente), Helsinki (Darko Perić), Rio (Miguel Herrán), and Nairobi (Alba Flores).

The gang is scattered across the globe, living their separate lives after successfully completing the heist. However, their peaceful existence is short-lived as one of their own gets captured by the police. Their leader, the Professor, is determined to get him back and reunite the gang for another heist.

The episode also introduces two new characters, who are former enemies of the gang – Berlin’s former lover and ruthless manipulator, Marseille (Luka Peros), and the unpredictable and violent Palermo (Rodrigo De la Serna) – who pose a significant threat to the team's plan.

The first episode establishes the plotline for this season's heist, which is far more complex and risky than the previous one. The Governor of the Bank of Spain has been manipulating government funds, and the Professor aims to expose him by sending his team inside the Bank of Spain to print billions of euros. The team must infiltrate the heavily guarded bank, maintain public support, and outwit the police to achieve their goal.

The episode's title “We're Back” has a deeper meaning as well, as the gang has to re-establish trust and rebuild their relationships to execute the plan smoothly. The episode nicely weaves poignant character moments and humor into the storyline, including Denver's fatherhood woes, Nairobi's hilariously deadpan quips, and Tokyo's rebellious streak, all of which adds to the episode's emotional depth.

Overall, Money Heist season 3 episode 1 is an excellent start to the new season, seamlessly continuing the show's high-stakes narrative while re-establishing character dynamics. The episode is fast-paced, engaging, and leaves the viewers wanting more. It's an excellent introduction that raises the stakes and sets the tone for the season, promising fans an exciting ride.
