Wild District

The acting is outstanding and so is the plot. Very accurate of Colombian current events, including the peace treaty with the illegal armed groups , the FARC and paramilitaries, as well as corruption, although it's not a true story. The first two episodes are a little slower but when it picks up, you don't want to stop. Watch it in Spanish with close caption. That way you get the reality of the acting. It's just so real and the panoramic views of Bogota are stunning. This is quality! Can't wait for the second season

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.

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.

I have to confess that I almost failed a test because I didn't study for a weekend and instead i was watching this. The characters are captivating and the story easy to understand.

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⭐.
