Yes, it\u2019s an account of real-life drug queenpin Griselda Blanco\u2019s (an engrossing Sof\u00eda Vergara) rise to The Godmother of the Medell\u00edn Cartel. But this tale isn\u2019t an account of some distressed damsel who gets swept up in the underworld. Instead, what creator Eric Newman offers is a window into the mind of a highly meticulous and intelligent woman, intent on taking back everything that was ever stolen from her, even if she destroys herself in the process. Fast-paced and well-acted, the show is brutal, fascinating and full of high drama. It all begins with a bold escape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Produced by the team behind \u201cNarcos,\u201d the limited <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> opens in the late 1970s in Medell\u00edn, Columbia. An obviously distressed, injured Griselda rushes in the front door of her well-curated home. She makes a frantic phone call to a friend, Carmen (Paulina D\u00e1vila), before packing a bag and rousing her sons, Ozzy (Mart\u00edn Fajardo), Uber (Jose Velazquez) and Dixon (Orlando Pineda). As she ushers the boys out of the house, suitcases in hand, she informs them she is divorcing their stepfather and they are moving to Miami.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Griselda leaves things unsettled in Medell\u00edn, which plays out later on, but when she and her sons land in Miami in 1978, she eagerly embraces the city\u2019s frenetic energy. Despite the predictable beats of the show, what\u2019s fascinating about \u201cGriselda\u201d is that the audience meets her exactly in the middle of her life; this is hardly the beginning of her story. It\u2019s im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely clear that reinvention is something Griselda has mastered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Cramped in Carmen\u2019s tiny house with her three sons, Griselda isn\u2019t content to work the front desk at her friend\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> agency. Undeterred by the promises she\u2019s made to Carmen regarding getting out of the drug <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>, she begins working immediately to sell the kilo of coke she\u2019s smuggled into the country. Determined to rebuild for herself and her children, the show depicts the crime boss painstakingly carving out a plan for complete power. She shifts and changes her tactics as she encounters misogyny, machoism, violence and intimidation. For Vergara, who serves as an executive producer on the show and has built her career in the comedy space, watching her transform into an increasingly agitated and vicious woman is something to behold \u2014 prosthetics and 1970s fashion included.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    While \u201cGriselda\u201d compresses the three years of La Jefa\u2019s time in South Florida into just six hour-long chapters, not a moment or line of dialogue is wasted. No character or choice is insignificant. The scenes are so sharply cut that the series is perfectly paced. As carefully as the show outlines Griselda\u2019s rise as a savior to the oppressed, by Episode 5, \u201cParadise Lost,\u201d which jumps ahead to 1981, it\u2019s clear this life of bloodshed, police surveillance and intense paranoia has morphed Griselda into someone else entirely. Touting a shorter haircut, weathered skin and yellowing teeth, she has become a crack-cocaine-fueled Scarface-like monster in a lavish castle. A delirious episode that showcases tropes of telenovelas, it\u2019s almost unsettling to watch, but the chaotic narrative reveals how quickly power and greed can warp the human spirit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The entire cast, including Vergara, is stellar in this display of ambition and retaliation. However, Mart\u00edn Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s turn as Jorge \u201cRivi\u201d Ayala-Rivera, a top-hitter in Miami, is one of the most mesmerizing performances of a criminal mastermind on TV recently. Slithery, erratic and sensual, he has a disturbing presence anchoring the audience in the era and super-specific world. The performances and the setting make up for a few elements that don\u2019t quite meld in \u201cGriselda,\u201d including a hand-motion Griselda makes while holding a cigarette throughout the series. It\u2019s supposed to demonstrate how her mind devises her plans, but it feels too on the nose. There is also a strange slow-motion scene from Episode 2, \u201cRich White People,\u201d which doesn\u2019t quite fit the show\u2019s tone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Still, even with its minor missteps, \u201cGriselda\u201d soars, showcasing a woman who transforms into a predator after being prey for so long. Though it certainly isn\u2019t aspirational, there is much to be said about taking control of one\u2019s narrative. After all, if we are honest with ourselves, some of the things that we do are to survive. But others are to feed our pride and egos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    <em>\u201cGriselda\u201d premieres on\u00a0Netflix\u00a0Jan. 25.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
