I'm a pretty big fan of Narcos.. at least the first 3 seasons, and Griselda Blanco is one of the most interesting crime figures ever, but this felt like a swing and a miss.

With Escobar they managed to make him a fascinating character to watch while recognizing what an absolute monster he was. The Chapo series did the same thing, this felt a little too sympathetic (for lack of a better word). Like she did some shit but they also seemed to want to hammer home how hard it was to be a girl-boss single mom in a male dominated business, and feeling bad about some of the things she had to do to achieve that. The way the real Griselda did that was to be a cold blooded certified monster.. so much that she terrified the other monsters. They tried to have it both ways here, and it doesn't really work imo

Pacing was also clunky as hell

but everyone else seems to like it so what do I know lol
