Nicky Jam: El Ganador

I do not like most series and think a lot of TV series are overhyped, so I did not watch this with a lot of expectation, but this series is one of the best I have ever seen. The story of Nicky Jam - which I did not know before - is very interesting to see and the real background of the script does a lot to help the atmosphere and the acting. The actor who portrays the young Nicky Jam, does an excellent job and the rest of the cast is also very good. I especially enjoyed that Nicky Jam does not try to hide his dark sides - drugs and his rough upbringing - and shows how he managed to get his life back in control with the help of music and love. Overall this series has excellent picture, great music and a compelling story. Maybe sometimes it tries to make him look a little better than in reality, but it still is excellent. Highly recommended series - not very long too. The series is not about milking every penny, but more about art. There is only one "season" of the series with 13 episodes.

If you're a parent I would be very careful since they have nude scenes.

Muy buena la serie. Nos muestra a un Nicky Jam auténtico, humano y talentoso.

I have been a reggaeton fan since the mid 2000s. Review based on the first three episodes. This is a good show, it's hard for me to stop watching, would be easy to binge watch it. Acting is solid, I appreciate the Puerto Rican slang, I'm used to Mexican Spanish so it's very different. This series is worth watching especially if you're a reggaeton fan, it's a well-told story.

Can't believe that at the time of writing this, this TV series has only 2 reviews! That's ridiculous frankly. I know that the latin movies may be viewed as a subculture but it is still a subculture that is bigger then this right?

Anyway, to cut to the chase, I was actually not a huge fan of Nicky Jam's music before watching this. However, after, I appreciate his music much more, maybe because of the background information that this gave.

The casting is ok. Photo is likewise. It is a very interesting story I think of how this guys life kind of goes spiraling. Although his life was probably hard I guess others from his barrio probably had it even harder. I mean, he is an artist at least, although partially struggling...and again, maybe the latin culture and music really was even smaller back then.

Highly recommend watching this.
