Warning: Spoilers
For a variety of personal reasons, four friends start committing hold-ups and robberies. A mix-up with regard to masks causes them to become known as the "Three wise men" gang. Unfortunately for them, the police isn't sleeping on the job...

"Daylight robbery" is an action/crime series about a group of women who become gangsters. The lead actresses give engaging performances and the action scenes depicting the various robberies are both suspenseful and well-choreographed. Whether the overarching story is fully plausible is another matter.

Unfortunately the plot requires some of the characters to do deeply, deeply stupid things, to the point where the viewer starts questioning their ability to tie their own shoes. (This is especially true of the second season, which feels more far-fetched than the first one.) For instance, one of the gang members flees to a foreign country, accompanied by a lover/accomplice. The lovebirds then proceed to keep the whole of the loot, a gigantic pile of cash, in their own home. The house is not especially well-guarded or well-protected. Moreover, there are two children roaming around, both of them healthy, active and curious. Which sensible adult would hide loot this way ? The average puppy could have come up with better solutions.

In a later stage the same gang member robs a dangerous drugs smuggler without realizing the target is a dangerous drugs smuggler, because there's nothing in a man having a huge income, a vicious reputation and a private army that could indicate cocaine-related criminality. Again, stupid beyond belief.
