Don't get me wrong! The first set of actors are highly engaging, and I LOVED the clothing and sets. However...when the whole cast changed into unrecognizable characters, I lost interest. Seriously.

Highly disappointed. I was so into it, I binged watched it for 2 straight days and then...there it goes. Episode 27, the whole cast changed. I just couldn't get into it after that, I was cringing. Otherwise, I would of definitely finished but no thanks. The only reason why i'm rating it a 5.

I agree with a lot of the comments on this. Episode 27 ruined this for me. OK it's 12 years later than episode 26 but surely they could have stayed with the original actors. It's a shame as it was really good up to this episode.

The series The snitch cartel was really interesting all the characters were amazing specially Leonardo and the while family his brother the wives .. all .. I loved everything but when they changed the Whole characters.. I got lost and lost the excitement and interest !! Why ! They brought totally different faces which doesn't blend with the story ! Too bad it was a very good series.

What a disappointment. The first ensamble was great and very engaging but ruined it with the change of cast which do not connect with the viewer.

I am a big fan of narco series so I've been binge watching this one with only 9 episodes to go of the 60 episodes in the Season 1. The casting for the second half when a new older cast takes over is weird. The main character grew by 14 inches, the wives look younger and the some of the children look older than their mothers. There's the alledged white Gringa played by a Latina and is totally unconvincing. Otherwise I'm hooked!

This is a really good series to watch with amazing starcast (all of them), great acting and fun to watch. Fast forward 26 episodes and entire starcast is replaced with people you'll not want to watch. Terrible acting and horrible looks as compared to original starcast. How did the producer decide to change everyone and replace them with misfit people and made the story boring. Just watched 30 mins of new starcast and i am already bored. Just horrible! Not watching rest of the episodes. Such a shame they ruined a perfectly good series.

I admit the first few episodes may bore you, but if you keep watching, the plot thickens! I'm an American learning Spanish from these Latin Netflix series, so if it's not interesting, I won't stick around to read subtitles. I liked Nicole Santamaria and Juan Pablo in Surviving Escobar, and although the energy in this show is totally different from JJ & Alexandria, they are both amazing actors and have great energy together. This show is a little more family friendly I guess lol Plus Emmanuel is so cute! I enjoyed learning about Colombian culture, especially during the 60's and 70's, as there are some cool references to the US that draw you in long enough to enjoy learning Spanish AND the history of Cali!

It's not that bad...it also doesn't take place in the 80s, the first 5 minutes are 1978 then 50s & 60s. (Loved the costumes.) If you don't get the plot and the side stories you're pretty dense..

I did stop watching it after the episode 28 the cast change drastically it was so bad .. sucks.

Yea people were mad that they changed the characters but honestly I'm not mad at it. The show starts to get intense, and it starts getting good ! You have to continue watching. I'm on episode 56 and Things are getting real ! So I say don't stop and continue watching.

I am a british viewer from UK really enjoyed El patron del mal... came across this series from caracol tv and got hooked. The first cast was perfect especially the actors for main characters Leonardo and Emmanuel, the story was so engaging with cliff hangers and quality production up until Episode 28. Then they have changed the entire cast because the story has moved 12 years ahead... what a stupid decision.

Half way through a long series like this the cast is already connected to the character for the audience. They really should have kept the original cast it doesnt matter if its 12 years ahead in the story- the cast is half of the series value! Especially with such a good actor Juan Pablo as the main character. The only cast that should have been changed are the kids that grew up. This has really disappointed me because i was seriously enjoying this series.

I am gonna continue watching to give it a chance but it now feels like im watching a different series with actors who do not fit the characters compared to before and i've already lost interest in a series i was so engaged in beforehand. Would easily rate this 10/10 if they had just kept the same cast. They get a 7 jus for how good the initial cast were.

I was enjoying the series very much until they changed the whole cast , it felt weird , I lost interest.

Why did they change the cast so dramatically? It just left a bad taste in my mouth and couldn't continue watching! They don't even have a slight similarity in appearance, it was hard trying to catch on to who was who... I'm so disappointed as the show before episode 27 was soooo good!

I dont see anymore alonso? The Columbian officer or fabiola or the other wife ?what's happening in here someone help me get this right?

What a big mistake to change the actors in the middle of the series , it was like watching another totally different thing , I could only watch 1 more episode and didnt like it any more so it ended for me at the 27th episode.

I watched this series with keen interest and then looked up the reviews, as one does. I am in complete disagreement with most of them. The story, direction, acting and production are all excellent - far better than most shows on 'gringo' media!

Above all, the series consistently achieves the most important quality for the dramatization of tragedy, verismilitude.

Many here complain that the cast changed mid-way through the series. This is true, but the new cast is as excellent as the earlier. Every single character is portrayed convincingly. I am now seeking more from this company.

I should add that the subtitles work well.

I'm on episode 56 and the last 5 episodes have been nothing but that guy Wilmer on every f%$#ing scene... and I'm referring to the acting more than the actual character, I have to fast-forward everytime he comes up. And that character Cindy...OMG smh!

What Have They Done? Just Got To Episode 26????? All I can Say Is OMG! What A Waste!

I love all Colombians shows. But this one right here- smh. The first half of the show was amazing, kept me at the edge of my seat. I don't know why in the world they changed the cast. How in the world Leo got taller in 12 years? Oh lord and let's not start with this Cindy chick. Seeing her acting is like nails to a chalk board. Horrible. I cringed every time I had to watch a scene with her. Wish they can remake it with the first cast and it would of been a very good series. Because of Cindy and Leo height. I give it one star lol.

I was so Happy that I found something to watch..All good until ep 26 when they changed the whole cast.

The young guys were acting better!!!!! Sadly, cannot watch it anymore. Horible.
