Alias J.J.

Saw this by chance at a mates house and was hooked. I have watched 32 episodes of the first season so far I don't know why it says there is only 19 episodes on here when I googled it. I read 60 episodes. Right from the first episode it catches you. I have been binge watching it. If you like Narco and El Chapo you will like this.

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!

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 am huge fan of this show!! First episode I was immediately hooked! I've watched all 60 episodes in less than a month. The story line gets better and better to the end! At one point, my heart was racing due to the thrill of certain episodes. It's weird to say but although knowing how much the people of Colombia hated this man, somehow (to me) turned into a very likable character in the series. Actors have done a phenomenal job!! You know they've succeeded when you begin to dislike certain characters on the show because they played their role so well! SEASON 2??? PLEASE! It cannot end here! <3

A clown on here has rated this show a 2, saying the plot is slow. It is anything but slow. Why someone who hates the show but has spent over a dozen hours watching it is beyond me, however that just illustrates how addictive it is.

Some of the acting is laughably bad, yes. The sets are cheap, the effects are relatively cheap, but overall it's well worth watching.

They really should've hired American actors to play the American characters. I doubt the Miami police walk around the office speaking Spanish to each other. That's a relatively minor gripe, but it did take me out of the story. Either way, you'll probably know by the end of the first or second episodes if this is a show for you or not.
