As a hard fan of Griselda Blanco, I am thrilled about the upcoming Netflix series that will tell her story.
Sophia Vergara is an excellent choice to play Griselda, and I can't wait to see her bring this complex and fascinating character to life.
The trailer looks fantastic, and I'm excited to see the show explore Griselda's rise to power and her eventual downfall. I'm also curious to see how the show will portray the world of the Medellín cartel and the drug trade in the 1980s.
Overall, I'm very excited about Griselda and I think it has the potential to be a great show. I'll definitely be tuning in when it premieres on Netflix on January 24, 2024.
