Surviving Escobar

My first review would be "do not miss" " bingeworthy" That kind of still stands. BUT. Yes unfortunately after 30 episodes I am finding serious fault. The plot is pretty good but its becoming "prison break vs Narcos" rolled into one. My absolute main issue here is the fight scenes, stabbings, shootings, Covert attacks. Quite simply they are absolutely awful Pathetic Unreal Lame. I love this show but looks like they have a good script but seriously lacking in realism. (Sopranos, Narcos) I don't know of it was down to budget or serious gaps in authenticity department but either way, it leaves a sad gaping hole for me and I am beginning to lose my mojo for this otherwise wonderful box set. Ps. I have left my original comment in if you read on, sadly my fears are being realised. . Excellent so far at 12 but just noticed Episodes 1 series goes into the 60's? I do hope they are not going to make this into a prison break or "lost" Hollywood dumpster

I started watching this by chance and I was hooked immediately. I watched all the 60 episodes in 4 days! lol. The actor Urrego is excellent and I truly believed this cold blooded and cynical killer, but the weird thing is that one starts liking him lol. Absolutely recommended!

Saw this by chance at a mates house and was hooked. I have watched 32 episodes of the first season so far I don't know why it says there is only 19 episodes on here when I googled it. I read 60 episodes. Right from the first episode it catches you. I have been binge watching it. If you like Narco and El Chapo you will like this.

Totally addicting. As others have said, be prepared to get nothing accomplished for about 2 weeks. Watched way into the night because I could not turn it off. Would spend the work day anxious to see what new torment was awaiting JJ around the next corner. Dying for Season 2! The writing is superb, the acting is seamless. Loved watching the decade's fashion and technology progress. Appreciate the fact that for such a gritty, tense show, they refrained from gratuitous sex and violence. They allowed events to titillate and progress through the masterful storytelling. I miss you, JJ. Hurry back! A+

A clown on here has rated this show a 2, saying the plot is slow. It is anything but slow. Why someone who hates the show but has spent over a dozen hours watching it is beyond me, however that just illustrates how addictive it is.

Some of the acting is laughably bad, yes. The sets are cheap, the effects are relatively cheap, but overall it's well worth watching.

They really should've hired American actors to play the American characters. I doubt the Miami police walk around the office speaking Spanish to each other. That's a relatively minor gripe, but it did take me out of the story. Either way, you'll probably know by the end of the first or second episodes if this is a show for you or not.
