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 loved this series. A different type of story compared to these days formula type series es .Even though it is dubbed in American English, by the expression I can tell the performance was great overall. Nicolás Quiroga Pineda has taken the series in different level . Couple of episodes I watched twice because it was so sensual and full of romance.Can't wait for the Season 2

Season one was phenomenal, near perfect. Season 2 gets bogged down by overplaying Daniela's story. I still like the show, but the pace seems to grind to a near halt at times.

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

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⭐.

Finally, a series of the FARC with perseverance, with incredible dialogues, with strong actors and a spectacular setting. Although I consider myself a follower of what happens in the Latin American continent, as a Puerto Rican, I had never heard anything about the 'Los Pisa Suave'. It's important to know the histories of our countries, and of all the social, economic and political structures that indirectly or directly were and are affected by the actions of the FARC. The way in which the producers and directors represent the city of Bogotá is impressive. Many movies and series only show us the beautiful and spectacular parts of these cities, but the way they collect the reality of the poor and deprived neighborhoods of Colombia is epic, the photographic shots of those concrete jungles, as Lavoe would say, are magnificent and brutal; and at the same time they give an exceptional weight to the reality they want to transmit to the viewer. Juan Pablo Raba returns to demonstrate why he's one of the best Colombian actors of today, surpassing the quality he had presented in 'Narcos', 7 Years, 'The 33' and El Cartel De Los Sapos'. It's difficult to find good productions of the FARC, that even with certain touches of fiction, can keep the spectator in suspense, waiting for the right moment to present the actions that give the turns corresponding to the plot. Another great Netflix production, which continues to seek correct ways to bring Latin American stories to the global conglomerate of society, such as Univision and Telemundo tried to do, but have failed in most of their attempts. Hope for a second season.

As Colombian and Bogota's citizen and living the real life.. this serie show to all people the truth about the politicians, their conflicts, scams, and so many immoral behaviors during all day.. every day this is our own reality show. The filmography, the music, the spaces.. makes a real atmosphere about the facts that are happening in our city and our country.. Chapeau for everybody en this project.

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.

Great plot and execution in Season 1. Season 2 is completely far-fetched and tedious. S2 drags on and on and on.

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.

This Netflix Original show starts on a low key and stays there for too long... first couple of episodes are very slow, some parts are boring and painful to follow, with too many clichés & predictable plots, common places and gazillions of cheap exposition using tv "news" to fill the blanks in the story (it's a visual medium after all, so show and don't tell), then add a couple of troublesome unrealistic sequences (like killing a hit-man in front of your residence and hide right there with your son... in the second floor, watching trough a window... no police, no bad guys coming to pick up the dead body and finish their job, no hurry to runway!!!). But if you have patience... and get though the first 4 episodes... then the series kicks in and entertains, not because of the action, fights and bullets (there are way better options for that), but because we see the drama unveils as the struggles on Yei Yei's life take a toll on him, his son Mario, his family and that's where the strength of Distrito lies on: the human conflicts, everything else ( corruption, politicians and news reporters) some times is over the top... Just to be clear, DISTRITO is not as good as NARCOS... and not as bad as some Hispanic soup operas, somehow it falls right in the middle, and that could be good enough for a lot of people, but maybe not enough for a second season... time will tell.

This is a very poorly produced series that is rooted in the reintegration and assimilation of FARC guerillas in Colombia. The story has all the usual cliches of any one of a hundred other Telenovelas, the self-sacrificing mother, the resentful son etc. The acting is at the level one would expect from most Telenovelas i.e. very poor.

The main focus for the story is how the experience of being a "child guerilla" has impacted someone's life, and how this continues even through adult life and extends to relationships, family etc.

As has been mentioned, the first few episodes are slow, uninteresting and it's just hard work to stay engaged. It is not suitable for binge watching but rather is best watched in short spurts when there is nothing else in the streaming queue. It is just an average production and probably one that the streaming site will review before deciding to renew.

Wild District is a really good colombian tv series. You will not want to stop watching it. Every episode is accurate at cultural level and shows the daily battle that most of the colombian people face in their lives. I hope there will be a second season.

I loved this series and I hope Netflix will have a second season at least. They really should! Characters are interesting and complex, each with their amount of darkness. Nobody is just good, and few are just bad. That is what makes this not a usual silly series. I highly recommend it. The lead character Ye Ye is truly an excellent actor and has a bright future. He makes you care even though you realize he is no saint. I wasn't expecting anything when i started the series but I was hooked immediately.

Very gripping, fast paced and compelling, a series about the fight against corporate mafias with real command in the arena of the disputed political power in Colombia. A former undercover Farc guerrilla and a female prosecutor wield a crusade against them. Acting of the cast great. Very real and with frightening action scenes.

Best. Show. Ever.

I ending up calling out of work to binge watch this show, I may have lost some money, but it was worth it!

Do yourself a favor and watch this show, and hope Netflix renews it!!!

Well this was a wonderful surprise. Great acting and storyline that unfolds at a perfect pace allowing you to really engage with all the characters. Lots of action with a well written family plot thrown in. I have only seen the 1st series and eagerly await for the second series to air in Australia.

I'm so happy to see a really well done tv show about the reality in Colombia, a lot of action and interesting story

I had a good time watching this. The main character Jhon seemed to have been trained by the Swordmasters of Ginaz in the way he vanquished each and every opponent and sometimes many.

The characters seemed real to me as did the situations they found themselves in. And there was plenty of human interest on the sidelines to distract from what could have been a relentless diet of fighting and criminality.

Some reviewers have liked the second season less than the first as there was less "action" in it, being concerned with an election campaign. I actually thought the balance was better here. There was intrigue aplenty both amongst the ex guérillas and on the campaign trail.

I'm glad I had both seasons to hand. I watched both in a short time frame back to back. A definite recommendation.

Great plot Raba is the Colombian Jason Bourne...his acting was spot on..great series hope for season 2..

It´s the first netflix series all produced and filmed in Colombia. Its a good try. Main character (Juan Pablo Raba) and his son story is an interesting plot and they should focus more in them than everyone else. There are too many subplots and the viewer can lost narrative thread in the way. I hope they´ll reduce the number of characters and subplots for the season two.

Good acting and some unpredictable scenes. The most remarkable thing is that the serie is out of the cliche, stereotypical and old fashioned colombian stories about drug trafficking, military warfare, etc...

As a Narcos original series lover I just discovered by chance this one. All I have to say is this one is a little masterpiece. First, even violence is lower than Narcos the action and crimes scenes are pretty well filmed. Second, Bogota scenarios are simply realistic and amazingly chosen. Last, acting is superb. Main character is amazing. Secondary actors too. Some familiar faces from Narcos too. So, overall an amazing series.
