One of the best things I have seen on screen in a long time I will give it a 10 for episode one to 6 it is all tight scenes running into each other in an elegant fashion and one thing that has to be said for this series the acting is first class from most of the players in fact practically all of them certainly all the main ones. Between six and 10 there is too much chopping and changing too many changes it gets a little frantic overintricate too many turns as if the makers thought we need to speed this up and frankly that really mars it

• Earlier this year I watched Griselda (2024) which was grimmer than this one here but pretty much the same territory i.e. Florida second half of the 70s Cocaine wars etc etc not a big fan of the aspect of that series which is to do with the cocaine and all that but it is extremely well acted and although it loses a bit of its shine towards the end the final episode being a little bit cheesy towards the end it is still overall a really really great series highly recommended I certainly hope they run a second series

But for me they will need to stop adding plots and subplots and plots within the plots in the words of Mies Van Der Rohe less is more They should abide by that

• PS The whole time I am watching this and the main actor the one playing Compte Danny Pino the more I look at his face and think I recognise this guy I have seen him before; and then it dawned on me that I am looking at a Latin version of Neil Young same features but Latin when I realised this was who I thought I was looking at I could not afterwards stop thinking about Neil Young every time I saw him.

-PS2 the teen romance in there was just darling.
