Surviving the Cartel (2022– ) User Reviews

If you give it 10 minutes, you'll be addicted.

[reyejo · 8/10 · 25 May 2022]

This is a fantastic series. If you give it 10 minutes, you'll be addicted.

Non-stop adrenaline-rush crime-drama following the story of a Silicon Valley founder who returns to Mexico, a Mexican farmer who wants to get in the US and an El Paso detective.

Absolute, faultless, superb perfection.

[milihim · 8/10 · 11 June 2022]

Don't know where to begin on this amazing series so I'll just say the independent film industry finally got something right...absolute, faultless, superb perfection. I can't give a 10 right now but this is something special.

Like an all time classic album, but can't give a 10.

[dalined · 8/10 · 1 June 2022]

This series is one of the best tv shows ever, it's very exciting. The actors are amazing and the story always keeps you watching and guessing. Watch it!! It's like an all time classic album.

This Show is Amazing! WOW!!!

[BrigitteAut · 10/10 · 10 May 2022]

I learned about this show through a social media ad. First, I was skeptical as this show is independent and only available on pay-per-view. But the trailer was so intense and the plot seemed so original that I had to watch it. After binging all 5 episodes in one night, all I can say is WOW!!! I'm a woman in my 40s and I am hooked on a Cartel show. I can't believe it. The story, the plot, the dialogue, the direction, the acting, the music are so well executed that it blows my mind.

Well, I love Surviving The Cartel and I think it is very good.

[risos-31521 · 10/10 · 9 July 2022]

Surviving The Cartel is amazing and I don't know what's going to happen in the next season. I don't want to know myself so I'm not going to spoil it for anyone else! Well I love Surviving The Cartel and I think it is a very good thing on television at the moment. Without a doubt, this is a 10.

Surviving the Cartel is the best television show

[bavojoy · 8/10 · 15 May 2022]

The creator, writer, director and actors have paid attention to every single detail, putting thought into every nuance in every character in every scene. Get on your couch now and start watching "Surviving the Cartel" from the very beginning, and don't miss a single scene.

Phenomenal show

[paniwi-75843 · 7/10 · 21 May 2022]

In my opinion this is a phenomenal show with phenomenal characters, and a phenomenal story. Of course, it is not perfect, and it's absolutely NOT the best show of all time. But I recommend it to anyone. In my opinion, the acting is great. The show is about survival and the actions humans take to survive the drug business and its consequences. Why 7? Because I don't like the subtitles and you have them all the time in this show.

arguably the greatest dramatic series... ever?

[golarak · 8/10 · 16 May 2022]

I wish I could tell you there's problems with the show, but can I find any. I mean no doubt Surviving the Cartel is the best series ever. I know the concept was superb.

want to know more about Alejandro's life in Silicon Valley

[wixofi-83241 · 10/10 · 18 May 2022]

This show is one of my top series I watched in my life! All Praise for this show is little. It is currently an unrivaled television show. When will the second season be released? Each episode adds a new complication. I want to know more about Alejandro's life in Silicon Valley. Before he comes back to Mexico.

Done with great visuals, an interesting casting.

[hepojop · 10/10 · 14 June 2022]

One of my favorite things about this show is the character development. The storytelling of Surviving The Cartel is done with great visuals, interesting casting and a storytelling format which I love. It's extremely watchable and kept my attention the whole time. The scene between The Pope and Juan in episode 5 is so stunning.

The first season's last episode is a masterpiece.

[wopawo-17275 · 10/10 · 13 July 2022]

Surviving the Cartel is an excellent TV show with an interesting plot. Selection of actors on top. I especially liked it. The last episode is just a masterpiece.

It's in a league of its own

[nehav-29591 · 10/10 · 14 June 2022]

I liked this series so much that I'm repeating this show again. This show is epic in its entirety. The writing, characters, plot, cinematography, pacing, and the incredible transformation just push this show into a league of its own.

New Show, Great show.

[xoceyo-65171 · 10/10 · 8 June 2022]

These may perhaps be the few thriller TV shows that I will be re-watching again and again throughout my life because it's much more than that. The thrill is just a small reactant of this beautiful final product. Surviving the Cartel is the best show of my life so far.

The GOAT

[xigipif · 10/10 · 14 June 2022]

Just finished watching it for the second time and I can't believe how brilliant and perfect this series is. It's really hard to express the brilliance there has never been anything better than Surviving the Cartel hands down to the GOAT.

Is it a true story? It seems very real.

[fatoxi-01838 · 10/10 · 1 June 2022]

The storytelling is great, the characters are great and it seems very real. I can't praise this Season 1. The best and one of the greatest series of all time in TV history, Surviving the Cartel is a unique experience, with the best episodes in the world of cinema.

This show is something that will certainly make history.

[jehapos · 10/10 · 3 July 2022]

This show is something that will certainly make history. This show portrays cops, politicians, drug dealers at their lowest emotional level. If it were to be the last show to ever run, that would make it a perfectly historical culmination.

Great first season, one of the most iconic and poetic in TV history.

[vaxap-96968 · 8/10 · 11 June 2022]

Brilliant - one of the greatest drama series of all time. Fantastic series. Starts innocently enough and builds tension and momentum with every episode. Great first season, one of the most iconic and poetic in TV history.

Not boring at all.

[yipici · 9/10 · 22 May 2022]

After spending an entire week looking for something to watch, I was tired of the same boring and usual stories available on those big failing streaming services. One of my friends recommended this show. I watched it and I was totally hooked after a few minutes. I couldn't stop watching it. It's so different. The plot evolves at a fast pace and it's not boring at all.

Very reminiscent of the cinematic style.

[higigig · 9/10 · 14 June 2022]

Very reminiscent of the cinematic style. This might be the best thing I've ever seen... it is 100% the best piece of fiction I've ever seen, but is it the best THING I've ever seen... still deciding.

Watch it! I like it.

[cewibi · 10/10 · 27 May 2022]

We thoroughly enjoyed this show. I think it very well deserves to be up there in the top tv shows of all time. The series is the greatest I have ever watched and I recommend watching it.

It puts other shows to shame.

[ronoxa · 9/10 · 7 June 2022]

I don't know how to describe a show that is so perfect nothing even comes close to a show like this while it may be my all-time favorite show. There's no way of ignoring the absolute perfection of detailed acting and storytelling of this show. It puts other shows to shame.

Yeah, it's a GREAT show.

[belexa-16739 · 8/10 · 18 May 2022]

I love this program because to me, it shows that nothing in life is black and white. You have good people who do terrible things and vice versa. I can't say enough how well the characters' introduction is done. Was so engaging and all the characters threads were amazing!

The best series!!!

[diceli-91909 · 10/10 · 3 July 2022]

This is the best thing, once you'll watch this it's gonna be hard for you to digest other series, you'll always feel let down. This is a masterpiece. Watch it at your own risk!!!!

I am glad I watched this show

[gadeh-78473 · 9/10 · 21 May 2022]

As someone who was reluctant to pay $20 to watch this show because I feared being disappointed and losing my money, I am completely happy that I watched this show. Carlos Ortega is my favorite character. Now, it's one of my favorite shows and I highly recommend watching it if you haven't already. I give it a 9 overall because 5 episodes is not enough for this kind of thrilling and wonderful plot.

Great acting!

[radere · 9/10 · 14 June 2022]

When I first read about this series being called the greatest in the history of television I was skeptical about such a superlative. But it turned out to be completely right. They are all good actors and play the parts very well.
