The Day I Met El Chapo: The Kate Del Castillo Story

I'd never ever heard of this aging Mexican telenovela actress until the whole circus with the drug guy and the weirdo Penn. Spotted this amateur "documentary" (infomercial...) while browsing for the Narcos series. It took me about 20 minutes of viewing to realize that this is a self-promoting outlet from a non-existent D-list actress who's seeking attention instead of curing her bad ADHD and personality disorders. Completely irrelevant. I still intend to watch the other 2 episodes when I have time, but that'll probably only comfort my disdain for this desperate woman. The world is made worse by people like herself, selfie factories, the Kardashians, Sean Penn, Guzmán, preachy Hollywood liberals, Instagram "models", wannabe edgy TikToking children, etc... Severe narcissists are truly a pain. smh

Let me say that it is fairly informative the first 2 episodes, but the last is just awful. Coming in I did not know much at all about her involvement with him, what I knew was general gossip. Frankly I did not care either, good riddance I say, drug lords and drug users are the scum of the earth. Well anyway, she is the producer of this "documentary" so I wasn't expecting any great revelations, but I was wrong. I learned she's a slick talker and would make a typical politician. Netflix is getting pretty lame with all their "original" content and this was a hell of an opportunity to promote her tequila and the new series. I used to respect her and find her hot, now she's just a Hollywood b-lister vying for attention. And sean penn, I don't even know who that guy is, but I can tell he's a deuche. Guess we'll never know the truth

Boring. i am sure that the people who feel for the issue might be interested, but anything beyond that why bother? a long list of self appointed experts giving their useless impressions and only a few telling their stories. a *he said, she said*.

I heard about the Kate del Castillo story a few years ago, and I've been confused/curious about it ever since. This documentary certainly answered all my questions and showed how much the Mexican government unfairly persecuted her. Yeah, this is a shameless plug for her tequila and her new show, but it was definitely interesting to learn about the El Chapo story from her point of view.

The whole story is told from Kate's perspective only, so we can't be sure that everything she says is entirely true. That she met El Chapo, okay. The rest is all a bit strange, so to speak, but what do you expect from a country that has grown up with soap operas?

It seemed to me an entertaining story and not very long, something different from normal.

They put HER in a high-risk position? She did all herself!! And to be completely fair I do like the message she's sending! NO MORE MANLY MACHO MAN WORLD ANY MORE! AND NO MORE CORRUPTION OF THE POWERFUL MANLY MACHO MEN!
