This week we watched **Griselda** at home, which had been recommended beforehand as the new **Narcos**. That promise is only partly fulfilled, but I liked the series enough to share it with you.

Griselda tells the story of Griselda Blanco, a Colombian woman who built a drug empire in Miami in the seventies and eighties. The title role is played by none other than **Sofia Vergara**, and she does it excellently.

At first I could only hear Gloria from *Modern Family*, but soon Vergara convinced me as a drug boss.

Even though the drug world is mainly dominated by men, Griselda goes *full Al Pacino* and manages to climb to the top of that world in a smart and brutal way. Some crimes are shown in a gruesome way, and the show gives a good picture of the raw drug life of Miami in the seventies and eighties.

The whole vibe of that era is visible in the series too. I really enjoyed the clothing and locations. The comparison with shows like **Narcos** and films like **Scarface** is quickly made.

Griselda is easy to watch, offers enough tension and, with six episodes, is a perfect show to watch this weekend.

**Genre:** Crime **Length:** 1 season, 6 episodes **Watch on:** Netflix **For fans of:** Narcos, Scarface
