The other side of the coin!
18 February 2023
To begin with, I can't stand soap operas, and this series is not one of them.!!!

The series is very well done. My greatest joy was that it is based on the other party, the politicians, the government, the kidnappings and the police. It is not the Pablo Escobar story of drug traffickers that almost all of us already know, for example from Narcos, a relief indeed.

I decided to watch it because the story is real and written by a great writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I have not been disappointed at all!

I didn't know any of these actors, but they are all very good, nothing to criticize here. Honestly, I would have given it more stars if the story wasn't so clean, to put it in some way.

The ways of rich Colombian families are absolutely frustrating, they treat adolescent children like small children drowning them in pampering and affection, of course it is based on the 80s, but still it seemed annoying to me.

Superb filmography and photography! Very real in suburbs of Colombia. The story, despite being very well edited, perhaps could have avoided some unnecessary flashbacks, but they do not take away my respect for this tense, strong story that unfortunately happened in reality.

I definitely recommend it if you like strong emotions, good action scenes and true stories that we should all be ashamed of. For the record I am not from Colombia.
