Distrito Salvaje

Season one was phenomenal, near perfect. Season 2 gets bogged down by overplaying Daniela's story. I still like the show, but the pace seems to grind to a near halt at times.

Finally, a series of the FARC with perseverance, with incredible dialogues, with strong actors and a spectacular setting. Although I consider myself a follower of what happens in the Latin American continent, as a Puerto Rican, I had never heard anything about the 'Los Pisa Suave'. It's important to know the histories of our countries, and of all the social, economic and political structures that indirectly or directly were and are affected by the actions of the FARC. The way in which the producers and directors represent the city of Bogotá is impressive. Many movies and series only show us the beautiful and spectacular parts of these cities, but the way they collect the reality of the poor and deprived neighborhoods of Colombia is epic, the photographic shots of those concrete jungles, as Lavoe would say, are magnificent and brutal; and at the same time they give an exceptional weight to the reality they want to transmit to the viewer. Juan Pablo Raba returns to demonstrate why he's one of the best Colombian actors of today, surpassing the quality he had presented in 'Narcos', 7 Years, 'The 33' and El Cartel De Los Sapos'. It's difficult to find good productions of the FARC, that even with certain touches of fiction, can keep the spectator in suspense, waiting for the right moment to present the actions that give the turns corresponding to the plot. Another great Netflix production, which continues to seek correct ways to bring Latin American stories to the global conglomerate of society, such as Univision and Telemundo tried to do, but have failed in most of their attempts. Hope for a second season.

The acting is outstanding and so is the plot. Very accurate of Colombian current events, including the peace treaty with the illegal armed groups , the FARC and paramilitaries, as well as corruption, although it's not a true story. The first two episodes are a little slower but when it picks up, you don't want to stop. Watch it in Spanish with close caption. That way you get the reality of the acting. It's just so real and the panoramic views of Bogota are stunning. This is quality! Can't wait for the second season

As Colombian and Bogota's citizen and living the real life.. this serie show to all people the truth about the politicians, their conflicts, scams, and so many immoral behaviors during all day.. every day this is our own reality show. The filmography, the music, the spaces.. makes a real atmosphere about the facts that are happening in our city and our country.. Chapeau for everybody en this project.

I loved this series. A different type of story compared to these days formula type series es .Even though it is dubbed in American English, by the expression I can tell the performance was great overall. Nicolás Quiroga Pineda has taken the series in different level . Couple of episodes I watched twice because it was so sensual and full of romance.Can't wait for the Season 2
