Griselda

Get ready for a flurry of drug cartel violent activity. This 6 episode mini-series takes you on a wild ride that you just might be looking the other way during some scenes!

Just finished binge watching Griselda yesterday. All I can say is WOW it did NOT disappoint.

For those of you that lived thru the Miami drug wars in the 70's and 80's,, I’m sure you’ve heard of Griselda (nickname the Godmother). Absolutely one of the most ruthless drug lords, with over 250 murders accredited to her.

Great cast and Vergara’s role was over the top and came across as one ruthless M’Fer. Being a true story it does take certain liberties with the story line, however this is very well done and will keep your attention on the edge of your seat throughout.

The ambiance was very dark which gives it older 70s/80s vibes. However its done well enough to attract a modern audience.

Get ready for a TON of subtitles. They are worth the read.

NOTE; If you are squeamish about serious bloody violence you may have to turn away for some scenes

Fleeing from MedellĂ­n to Miami, Griselda Blanco creates one of the most ruthless cartels in history.
