Anyway, after this initial heist, they had to come out of hiding and attempt another heist, this time the target is, the Bank of Spain. What will happen this time around?
Dexter is truly, without a pinch of doubt, one of the best shows ever created in crime drama genre. Dexter Morgan, the hero, solves murders as well as commit them too. Well, he only murders bad guys who escaped the law. That's a good trait, right? (For a crime drama protagonist). Go ahead and watch this series, if you haven't untill now.
What I loved about the series is that it is based, loosely on an actual British criminal gang, it weaves history and fiction so beautifully together that it turns into a masterpiece. Just go for it, if you have not until now.
This series has a loyal following and it is one of the if not the most famous heist related webseries ever made.

4. Narcos
Plot Summary - The series centers on notorious Colombian cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar and Steve Murphy, a DEA agent sent to Colombia on an American mission to capture and ultimately kill him. Pablo Escobar, a Colombian drug lord, is a prime target for DEA and government agents.
This is an excellent drama that provides a mature and distinct look towards recent history (that remains completely relevant today as the results of this are still ongoing) while remaining entertaining and staying true to the general events.
Like many other series of the same genre, what this series does best, according to me, is not glorifying the bad actions of either the cartels or the police force, what is bad is bad, and that's it. You will love this american-colombian crime drama series.
