El Señor de los Cielos

Ten stars for Ochmann.

Ochmann somehow makes you like a villain/monster. The expressions on Ochmann's face, his cockiness, body language and sarcasm are spectacular. I don't understand all the Mexican-Colombian lingo, but some of the things he says are funny. I find myself laughing every time he laughs. Go figure. He makes it worth watching if you can bare all the Illuminati garbage, signs, colors, references, rituals and hand gestures. The character "tijeras" is also funny.

I found season two barbaric; animal body parts used as lamps and trinkets. By season three, I was nauseated by the constant use of black and white color scheme, all the hexagrams, squares and triangles. Episode 89, Amaya is wearing a black shirt with what appears to be the head of a goat embellished/embroidered in white. So disappointing he partakes in this mentality, and depiction of ranchero attire ruined and disgraced. If you enjoy threesomes and women used as seductresses, this season is full of that.

It's unfortunate viewers don't get to see the beauty, architecture and antiquity of this country or any others used during production.

This show has everything. I loved it from start to finish. I really wish they would make more seasons of it. This show is over the top awesome!!!!!

Well as season 9 just finished. I hate to admit I'm losing interest. It's the same old. As in the real world people get tired of it so they move on. Well for me I'm feeling all the best characters who help make this show great well they all gone except for Aurelio of course. But even they tried killing him off and the show was flopping so yeahhh. I miss the gun fights even tho their props manager has no idea what firearms to use and teach these fools properly how to pretend to shoot or the proper stance. I hate how Cabo fires the AK. I would slap him stupid for that alone. And in no way with a mini uzi will over a .30 caliber.

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,

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.
