El Señor de los Cielos

Telemundo series are terrific and this is one of the best. Its so engrossing, though, its hard to watch something else and season 3 has over 100 episodes!

I love that Telemundo isn't controlled by Big Tobacco with cigarettes always in use. Yes, its very predictable in many ways but the acting is outstanding and storyline is fun and always interesting.

The story of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, the drug-lord who even flew 727's full of cocaine to the Sonoran desert and left them abandoned, is one of those things in Mexican folklore that reaches the whole social ladder. In this series, produced by Telemundo and manufactured by Argos, the narrative reveals what most people knew from newspapers and the official TV chain, Televisa.

In Season 1, the story and the characters are believable, true to the lore and truly scary. It's something that Colombians and Mexicans know too well. The characters are easily recognisable and the performances of some of the actors are very good. But, story-wise, it's one of those unforgettable series, along with the Caracol productions of El Cartel de los Sapos and El Señor del Mal, Pablo Escobar.

It's sad to see that, to keep the franchise going on forever, Telemundo decided to go to the lengths of creating something so badly scripted as the rest of the seasons. It's a shame to see how the characters lose their soul, the story is contrived, absurd and predictable to the smallest detail. It becomes a classic telenovela, instead of the powerful and dramatic series Season 1 was.

Definitely, the production values are good, but never on par of those from Caracol's lush environments, period props, enticing characters and the powerful Colombian actors. It may be almost impossible to have a character that instills fear as Andres Parra's interpretation of Pablo Escobar in El Cartel de los Sapos and Pablo Escobar, El Patron del Mal.

I guess you should stop when things are done and never try second parts when they're not needed. Numbers never lie. That's what happened to this fantastic story when they decided to "create" something people would never feel related to. A pity. Watch Season 1, you won't be disappointed,

I love the show I love everything about this show when I first found it by accident I just had surgery and I watched all 4 seasons I was so hooked on it I stayed up all-night watching it and now their season 5 and I can't watch it. Why only on Telemundo channel that makes me so sad I'm looking all-over to see where I can find it in English? Do I have to wait until season 5 is over and it goes on Netflix please help.

Rafael amaya's masterful performance is worth seeing in El senor de los cielos alone. He reminds me so much of al pacino's performance in scarface. He's that good and el senor de cielos is an amazing action packed series. Its no wonder it won an emmy in 2013. Once rafael leaves the series dies with him. Best seasons are 1 to 5. I hope telemundo gets Rafael back for a season 8 or a least for a movie on netflix ending el senor de los cielos the correct way with rafael in it to beginning to end.

Excellent work, entertaining, even humorous, and with well-staged action scenes. Leaving aside the multiple flaws that fans see allows us to enjoy the adventures, we cannot stop protesting how annoying the audio censorship is in the eighth season. They do not censor violence, nor nudism, they do not censor drug trafficking, nor alcoholism nor smoking, they do not censor kidnappings, murders or shootings. But they censor the curse language of our Hispanic Latino daily life, as if it were a plague. All the violence does not offend the public, only the audio is offensive. Bad idea. Uncensored audio is the spark that brings us closer to reality, anything else is a half-baked reasonable facsimile copy, that is not exact but is a close delivered. Those of us who pay to watch this program expect to receive a full product, because the monthly payment is complete, not in parts.

The series was popularized by the clash between rivals, one attacks another counterattack, all between drama, violence, comedy, and romances. Season 8 (2023) has censored dialogue, so much effort on the part of the actors to end up being censored. Something undesirable, but normal in Latin America. How far they plan to degrade Rutila, is not enough with lack modesty Tata Guerra. It is already beginning to be shocking to see Rutila (a married woman), who knows that Diana (recently widowed) began a relationship with Fernando (the same day they met), letting herself be carried away by an uncontrollable lust, ending up being unfaithful to Javier. The same thing that she has criticized his father so much. He mocks the fidelity that his sister-in-law Laura keeps to her brother, and incites her to be unfaithful too with the same men ... Really? This unhealthy relationship features the ladies of the Casillas family sharing a relationship with the same man. What is the need?

I knew from the beginning that everything was going to be downhill. The moment Aurelio said that El Cabo, who killed his mother Alba, his brother Amado, his daughter Luzma, his lover Monica, and shoot his friend La Felina, was a person of no interest, I knew that the season was not going anywhere.

So far, in 64 chapters they have not advanced anything. From the starting point, they added La Mecha (a beautiful actress), an angelical adult who does not know what she wants, who does not separate from her best girl friend and suitor (a medicine doctor who also took a shot a La Felina without knowing her) who gets into every conversation. I have decided to save myself all that verbiage, and wait for the season to end to see the last three chapters.
