Griselda (2024)
A lower budget Narcos
I was hoping for more with a Colombian actress and with Narcos producers. It's overall pretty decent and an interesting story. However it feels rushed and choppy. The actors who were in Narcos did a very fine job but the writing and character development not nearly as good as Narcos or Narcos Mexico. I'm reviewing this after seeing 2 of the episodes and I still look forward to seeing it to the end. It's just not "capturing" me like Narcos or NM did.
In Narcos, my understanding is that the character Judy Moncado was the "Griselda" and I found Judy to be more of a "narco trafficante". Granted both Narcos and Griselda play with some facts but I'm finding myself wanting more connection or at least more references in Griselda to her background and association with Pablo Escobar.
Run (2020)
Well directed, well shot and great acting
Creepy mother reminded me of Jessica Walter in Play Misty For Me. The acting was great.
Very enjoyable, some parts a bit hard to believe but very suspenseful and entertaining.
