Distrito Salvaje

Being an admirer of BBC and Scandinavian crime series, from time to time, I am eager to widen my horizons and see what is going on in other countries. Well, I have seen many Spanish-language ones, including from Latin America, but still - the countries there are different vis-a-vis history and current issues. In spite of the fact that I had no awareness of the approach and performers (incl. Juan Pablo Raba - I have not seen Narcos yet), the Series seemed catchy from almost the beginning, and the flashbacks provided necessary background to realise what whas going on and why some characters thought and acted as they did.

All the cast seemed appropriate and with mutual chemistry, and the ending let some things open, so a sequel might be envisaged. Anyway, I will be looking to watch the possible next season as well.

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.

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.

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

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
