Sobreviviendo a Escobar, Alias J.J.

Totally addicting. As others have said, be prepared to get nothing accomplished for about 2 weeks. Watched way into the night because I could not turn it off. Would spend the work day anxious to see what new torment was awaiting JJ around the next corner. Dying for Season 2! The writing is superb, the acting is seamless. Loved watching the decade's fashion and technology progress. Appreciate the fact that for such a gritty, tense show, they refrained from gratuitous sex and violence. They allowed events to titillate and progress through the masterful storytelling. I miss you, JJ. Hurry back! A+

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

No spoilers. I just finished all 60 episodes, about a 2-3 week commitment. I was so hooked after the first episode I became fanatical dedication all my spare time. First, I don't speak a word of Spanish, but the subtitles were well done. The story was captivating as the author so artfully explored the complex human being, who was a brutal psychopathic killer, yet still somehow likable and respectable. I don't know who any of the actors are, and a Google search was sparse with answers and Bio's, but the acting, directing and cinematography was top of the line.

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.

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.
