Alias J.J.

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.

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

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+

My first review would be "do not miss" " bingeworthy" That kind of still stands. BUT. Yes unfortunately after 30 episodes I am finding serious fault. The plot is pretty good but its becoming "prison break vs Narcos" rolled into one. My absolute main issue here is the fight scenes, stabbings, shootings, Covert attacks. Quite simply they are absolutely awful Pathetic Unreal Lame. I love this show but looks like they have a good script but seriously lacking in realism. (Sopranos, Narcos) I don't know of it was down to budget or serious gaps in authenticity department but either way, it leaves a sad gaping hole for me and I am beginning to lose my mojo for this otherwise wonderful box set. Ps. I have left my original comment in if you read on, sadly my fears are being realised. . Excellent so far at 12 but just noticed Episodes 1 series goes into the 60's? I do hope they are not going to make this into a prison break or "lost" Hollywood dumpster

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.
