Best Selling Crime Fiction Writer Stephen King Calls This Phenomenal Netflix Series a “Firecracker”

Stephen King is no stranger to crime fiction and crime thrillers. The King of
Horror is no stranger to movies, either. With several of his acclaimed
publications going on to become best-sellers and later being adapted into
timeless movies, King’s approval is a seal of genuine creativity. Recently, the
author gave his nod and spoke highly of a hit Netflix crime thriller that took
the world by storm when it was released.

Incidentally, Stephen King has found his muse in the show. Additionally, he has
found to like it so much that he has recommended it to all who love crime
thrillers.


STEPHEN KING APPROVES OF NETFLIX’S HIT CRIME THRILLER

Netflix has a vast repertoire of shows that have found its liking among various
factions of its audience. However, a few of those shows carry that imprint
onward and forward as they become globally acclaimed. One of those shows that
took over the streaming and entertainment world by storm was Money Heist. The
Spanish crime thriller, which was first released in 2017, was taken over and
distributed by Netflix. Now, Stephen King has found himself wowed over by the
show, which he called a “firecracker” in a post on Twitter, now X.

> MONEY HEIST, on Netflix: If you like heist capers, you're going to love this.

Stephen King himself has several movie adaptations of his books to count. The
Shawshank Redemption and The Shining are two movies based on his acclaimed
books. Exhibiting a remarkable creative wit, the author only recommends books,
shows, and movies that are genuinely good. Thus, it comes off as a big win for
the show, which was originally titled La Casa de Papel. The 75-year-old
best-selling author has asked all those who love “heist capers” to wander over
to the show.

Interestingly, the Stephen King-approved show did not find much audience
initially. However, as soon as Netflix took over, it was a different story
altogether.


THE NETFLIX EFFECT: TAKING MONEY HEIST TO NEW HEIGHTS

La Casa de Papel was initially released as a Spanish show and ran from 2017 to
2021. Originally distributed by Spain’s Antenna 3, the show had a limited
outreach and a small audience base. However, Netflix acquired the rights to the
show and worked its charm all over it. The effect of lesser-known shows surging
in popularity and attaining heights on Netflix has been well documented and
termed The Netflix Effect. Money Heist is one of the biggest proofs of it. As
soon as it was taken over by Netflix, it split and reorganized the show into
seasons and smaller episodes.



Additionally, the streaming giant used its broad network and studio prowess to
provide state-of-the-art dubbing and subtitles to the show. The result was that
after its release on the streaming platform; it surged in popularity. Moreover,
the catchy theme song and the intriguing plot quickly caught over, and it became
a global phenomenon. It even inspired several remakes and regional adaptations

the show also became Netflix’s biggest foreign language show ever. The sky-high
jump that Money Heist took still rebounds to this date with a spin-off, Money
Heist: Berlin in the works.
