I am Colombian and I think it was time for us to bring something different about our country other than drugs, prostitutes and murders.This is the best way for us to make everybody know the real Colombia and make people from all over the world wanting to come and visit. There are tons of places just like the one showed in this documentary (they did not show everything). There are impressive scenes like a butterfly being born or a fight between two birds, but I think they should have been more specific about the different places shown. Only some of them are really placed on a map where you can find them, other have to be imagined because they don't tell the specific location, same thing happens with animals, many of them are not named. Also, I didn't like the fact that while they are showing incredible scenes from nature the start talking about the bad things humans do to our country, I think this is necessary but could have gone at the end of the documentary, like something we need everybody to remember after watching it. And last but not least, the voice of the narrator, tries to be mysterious and doesn't focus on big script mistakes that don't let you enjoy enough the really beautiful things you are watching on the screen.

They should have used Colombian actors for this. Very bad accents in all principal actors. Also bad time line. the sequence is not good. The few Colombian actors appearing there do a very good job. The actor that plays Escobar forces too much all his dialogue, even to say bad words. That should be natural like in all the previous Colombian series about this same topic. This is the only one that makes Colombia see as a very weak country and that without foreign help would not have done anything against NARCOS. Some part of the story is not good, for example when M-19 releases Marta Nieves Ochoa. Lacks of research. Other topic is the subtitles, "plata o plomo" means you get money or you die, but not "silver or lead" like they posted. Thay should have hired someone from Colombia that knows all local expressions and again make someone to tell them naturally, not reading it with no sense
