7 must-see crime and heist shows like Netflix’s The Great Heist
A crime drama series from Colombia called “The Great Heist” is based on the historical theft of Banco de la Republica in 1994. Developed by Pablo González and CS Prince, the program starred Andrés Parra as Chaoyo, a dishonest jeweler who contacts his former partner Molina (Christian Tappán), also known as the ‘lawyer’, with a plan to loot the Colombian national bank. They hire expert safe-cracker Dragon (Waldo Urrego) and astute financier Doa K (Marcela Benjumea) for the job. The entire length of this suspenseful, frantic Netflix series will keep you on the edge of your seat. Here are the top seven options if you’re done binge-watching and still want to consume similar types of content. Several of these movies, including The Great Heist, can be streamed on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime.
El Señor de los Cielos (2013)
The idea for this American telenovela comes from Mariano Calasso and Andrés López and was developed by Luis Zelkowicz. Telemundo broadcasts it. The most powerful Mexican trafficker, Aurelio Casillas (Rafael Amaya), is the subject of the show. He undertakes a face-changing procedure to circumvent the law and take revenge on his opponents. Fans of “The Great Heist” will be interested in the program because it contains enough crime and brutality.
Fargo (2014)
This FX anthology series, executive produced by the Coen brothers, is the ideal fusion of comedy and crime. The complexity and diversity of the characters alone will have you engrossed in the murder mystery of the first season from the pilot episode. The show features suspenseful and plot-changing jerks hidden in every nook and corner from the unwary audience, as is typical of any Coen Brothers production.
Money Robbery (2017)
Like ‘The Great Heist’, ‘Netflix Spain’s Money Heist’ (La house de papel) is about a once-in-a-lifetime score. To loot the Royal Mint of Spain and then the Bank of Spain, a strange band of thieves come together led by a man known as El Professor (Lvaro Morte). Since the end of ‘Game of Thrones’, no other program has been able to generate as much interest among the general population as ‘Money Heist’. It has become a worldwide phenomenon.
Narcos (2015)
The Colombian cartel, the person who gave rise to the legend of Pablo Escobar, and the law enforcement officers who brought him down are all subjects of this unwavering Netflix series. This program is for you if “The Great Heist” has piqued your interest in the realistic depiction of the South American underworld.
Ozark (2017)
A comedian best known for his roles in comedies like “Arrested Development” and “Horrible Bosses,” Jason Bateman made a bold but well-received career decision when he joined the cast of Netflix’s “Ozark.” Martin “Marty” Byrde, the main character, is a money launderer for the Mexican cartel. Byrde persuades him to allow him to start a money laundering business in Ozark, Missouri after the Commander kills his partner. The following year he moves to Missouri with his two children and adulterous wife Laura Linney. He faces new problems in Ozark, such as the region’s criminal underworld, which includes the Langmore and Snell families. Fans of “The Great Heist” are sure to be intrigued by the dark and gritty elements of the American series.
Pablo Escobar: El Patron del Mal (2012)
The Colombian drama “Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal” or “Pablo Escobar, The Drug Lord” stars Parra in the title character and Angie Cepeda as Regina Parejo, a fictionalized portrayal of Virginia Vallejo, an old mistress of Pablo Escobar. It has a bit of dramatic overkill, like any other telenovela, but that doesn’t make the show any less interesting. This is one of Parra’s best works prior to his international breakthrough with “The Great Heist”.
.
You (2018)
You is a psychological thriller on Netflix based on the 2014 book of the same name by Caroline Kepnes. It tells the story of serial killer Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), a New York bookstore worker whose love for a woman (Elizabeth Lail ) gradually goes crazy. The most unnerving aspect of this show is how typical Joe’s actions seem from his point of view. Even though “You” and “The Great Heist” have very different tones, they both address the same issues.
