Griselda

I'm satisfied. The world of drug dealers is a rewarding film theme, and even though it's always the same, it's always fun for me to watch. It's not as loaded as Narcos, but I had a nice time. Sofia Vergara as the narco-baron is excellent, the series shows nicely how hard she had it as a woman in that all-male business and a lot of people wanted to screw her, only it mostly worked out the other way around. Of the supporting characters, I liked Dario the most and it was nice to get to know Ochoa Cartel better. The fact that the series is set in Miami and not Colombia gives it a slightly different feel, but of course hookers, drugs and murder happen here too. My least favorite line was the one with the detectives, where I wasn't rooting for anyone. On the plus side, the retro visuals are nice. A cool four stars. 75%. (01/29/2024)

It's a pity that Griselda doesn't have one more episode and that she had to do so much in the last one. The time jump and the fates of the side characters would definitely have deserved more space to make a real impact. Otherwise, though, I really liked the series and Sofía Vergara, whom I wouldn't have expected to be in such a role, is really great. (02/12/2024)
