The story of the only woman Pablo Escobar ever feared:Griselda. The Cocaine Godmother’s reign of terror in 1970s and 80s Miami — and her murderous streak — is the topic of this six-episode series, which delves into the true story of how she became one of the top and ruthless cartels in history.
The series begins in 1978, when Griselda (Sofía Vergara) fled her drug-dealing husband in Colombia with her sons to seek refuge in Miami with the help of her old friend Carmen (Vanessa Ferlito).
Despite promises to leave her cartel life behind, Griselda falls prey to the allure of easy moneyand the need to provide for her sons — which pushes her to continue her drug operations in Miami while evading federal charges.
There are mixed feelings about the tell-all series, with the majority of critics giving positive reviews like “ a fascinating watch ” and “ hugely enjoyable.” Vergara even broke her own Rotten Tomatoes rating record with 88%, surpassing her previous success in Chef. On the other hand, some called it a “ bad trip ” and “ another fleeting Netflix hit.”
WHERE TO WATCH- You can watch Griselda on Netflix.
