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.

This is a crude representation of the worst disease for a country. Corruption is the real source of all evils it feeds itself like snake eating it's tail.

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

Very gripping, fast paced and compelling, a series about the fight against corporate mafias with real command in the arena of the disputed political power in Colombia. A former undercover Farc guerrilla and a female prosecutor wield a crusade against them. Acting of the cast great. Very real and with frightening action scenes.

As a Colombian I watched the first 3 seasons of Narcos and laughed at the series, mainly because it's a blatant historically and culturally innacurate story. 'Distrito Salvaje', although fictional, is incredibly accurate on identifying the soul of Colombian reality, daily life and culture. It's not a superficial cocaine-plot story like many others, it's about family, love, dreams, frustration and corruption in a violent society struggling to transit to peace. I definitely recommend it, 10⭐.
