I was a little bit in hype for this series but after two episodes I've realised how lazy the script was. First of all there are so many referencies to other show (Stranger Things for the main theme, Money Heist for the off screen narration from the co-protagonist girl and all the cliché from ALL the american teen drama that we've already seen a thousand times) that'll make you feel sick. The second and the most important problem is the script: the sudden evolution of the characters, the illogical and no sense behaviours, screenplay holes (better say pit) and in general ridiculous staging. It seems they do what they do not for a real sake consourning political and social problems but only because they just wanna have fun, acting like posers only because they've read a book or a relevant article (and since yesterday they were totally different person); in fact all behaviours, as I said, are SO extreme, false and unnatural! It's all black or white without shades of gray in the middle.
Other problems concern the holes script. Basically the way they plan all the assaults is completely omitted so they just... Go. Without worrying about consequences and in fact there are so many times in which they could've been catched and arrested with a thousand evidences of the crime but almost every time they escape and gain freedom.
All of these problems make you react with so many facepalms that you will stop watching immediately but I have to say that in the end has his positive points. Rather than beeing boring, has a marked rythm! Every episodes is full of developments! Also, it catches you in the mood of the story and you start moving with confidence with the characters and the narrative world in a certain point because you want to know how it ends, and for me that's the main point of a tv series so in a way the goal is achieved.
In conclusion, I don't know if reccomend you this. It has only 6 episodes so if it's a rainy day and you are bored, that's the one for you! In any case, choose yourself if you wanna give a positive or a negative meaning about all I've written.
