Alias J.J.

I started watching this by chance and I was hooked immediately. I watched all the 60 episodes in 4 days! lol. The actor Urrego is excellent and I truly believed this cold blooded and cynical killer, but the weird thing is that one starts liking him lol. Absolutely recommended!

A clown on here has rated this show a 2, saying the plot is slow. It is anything but slow. Why someone who hates the show but has spent over a dozen hours watching it is beyond me, however that just illustrates how addictive it is.

Some of the acting is laughably bad, yes. The sets are cheap, the effects are relatively cheap, but overall it's well worth watching.

They really should've hired American actors to play the American characters. I doubt the Miami police walk around the office speaking Spanish to each other. That's a relatively minor gripe, but it did take me out of the story. Either way, you'll probably know by the end of the first or second episodes if this is a show for you or not.

Totally addicting. As others have said, be prepared to get nothing accomplished for about 2 weeks. Watched way into the night because I could not turn it off. Would spend the work day anxious to see what new torment was awaiting JJ around the next corner. Dying for Season 2! The writing is superb, the acting is seamless. Loved watching the decade's fashion and technology progress. Appreciate the fact that for such a gritty, tense show, they refrained from gratuitous sex and violence. They allowed events to titillate and progress through the masterful storytelling. I miss you, JJ. Hurry back! A+

I am huge fan of this show!! First episode I was immediately hooked! I've watched all 60 episodes in less than a month. The story line gets better and better to the end! At one point, my heart was racing due to the thrill of certain episodes. It's weird to say but although knowing how much the people of Colombia hated this man, somehow (to me) turned into a very likable character in the series. Actors have done a phenomenal job!! You know they've succeeded when you begin to dislike certain characters on the show because they played their role so well! SEASON 2??? PLEASE! It cannot end here! <3

Gripping from start to finish. The story of how Escobars right man gets put in prison at the very worst possible time and has to survive against every other cartel and all their soldiers + guards + dodgy prison wardens + a headstrong mrs + her mother in law + everyone looking for his money. I can only recommend this in every shape and form and let you become addicted to yet another superb series.
