About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a long, intense narco saga packed with violence, power plays, and messy relationships; Not for you if you dislike graphic crime drama or soap-opera twists like in Lady of Steel.
Pros: action-heavy rival clashes; dark humor moments; bingeable melodrama | Cons: later seasons feel repetitive; predictable plot turns; distracting audio censorship
