Alias J.J.

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.

I started watching this series in October and quickly watched all 60 episodes. The characters and their way of acting and interacting make you want this show to last forever. It's still not as famous as Narcos but the whole story is very well written and guided. I had extremely fun watching it the whole time and after 60 episodes all one wants is 60 more

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!

I have seen many of the Latin American series that I refer to as "Narco Dramas" and this is one of the very best. The show is fast-paced and riveting. Juan Pablo Urrego nails his performance as Popeye and, even though he plays a ruthless assassin, you can't help but root for him. Nicole Santamaria plays his love interest and if beautiful women are your thing then you are in for a breathless binge. She is also a fantastic actress. The series follows the characters in both the fictional "Central Jail" (modeled after the Carcel Modelo in Bogota) and in the streets of Bogota and Medellin. Cinematography is top notch and views well in HD. I read and speak Spanish and can attest that the subtitles are accurate and that this series was professionally translated. I also highly recommend "Pablo Escobar, el Patron del Mal" and "En la Boca del Lobo". Enjoy!

My first review would be "do not miss" " bingeworthy" That kind of still stands. BUT. Yes unfortunately after 30 episodes I am finding serious fault. The plot is pretty good but its becoming "prison break vs Narcos" rolled into one. My absolute main issue here is the fight scenes, stabbings, shootings, Covert attacks. Quite simply they are absolutely awful Pathetic Unreal Lame. I love this show but looks like they have a good script but seriously lacking in realism. (Sopranos, Narcos) I don't know of it was down to budget or serious gaps in authenticity department but either way, it leaves a sad gaping hole for me and I am beginning to lose my mojo for this otherwise wonderful box set. Ps. I have left my original comment in if you read on, sadly my fears are being realised. . Excellent so far at 12 but just noticed Episodes 1 series goes into the 60's? I do hope they are not going to make this into a prison break or "lost" Hollywood dumpster
