GRISELDA

But shouldn't she get awards for uglying up?

Career ending? The critics love it and are all praising her performance. It’s the #1 program on Netflix globally and currently has an 88% RT score.

I didn’t care much for it. I particularly don’t like the finale as I feel we deserved to see her true bloody ending after the carnage she unleashed on the world rather than this bitch sitting on a beach. But I can’t deny that it appears to be a positive development for Sofia Vergara’s career.

I thought she was good in it, and in particular, she had a few of her “rally” speeches with the Cuban immigrants she recruited that were extremely well done. She did a great job showing how Griselda changed, she became drunk with power (and crack).

I loved it.

I want the actor who plays Dario in me, quite deeply

Yeah, he was hot. So was the guy who played Ravi.

His name was Rivi, and he was the hottest thing I’ve seen in forever. At first I listed for Dario, until I got to see more of Rivi. That actor is soooooo talented. In some ways, his acting reminded me of Billy from Stranger Things. I was born in ‘72, and Rivi looks exactly like I remember all the high schoolers when I was young — thin, lanky, wild-haired….and always glassy eyes. Sexy as fuck.

Dario to do a comp

More Rivi

Two more episodes to go. I’ll get back to you after.

R2 R3 R4 (all same person?)

R7 R8 R9 (again, all the same sock?)

No, R11. The fuck are you talking about? I’m R2 and I only posted once in here (twice after this). Why the fuck would I make a post saying I didn’t like it, and then two posts later say that I loved it?

R11 is a douche.

Time to get a life.

I wish I could get fucked by both consecutively. I would start with Dario then get finished off by Rivi.

Her nose was distracting, especially in the profile shots. But overall she did her best. You've seen all of this before, but it was entertaining.

I just wish they hadn't left so much out. They also really made Griselda out to be a victim of circumstance too much. She was a ruthless sociopath. I appreciate that they showed her crack addiction and making that couple fuck at gun point, along with her sexual trysts with women. This would've been much better spaced out over 10-12 episodes. It felt rushed.

I was taken by her skin...she had a ton of makeup on and it looked like it... full sunlight and cracked and caked makeup making her skin look like sandpaper. It was curious, and I couldn't figure out that it was just feature of the character (a good thing) or just trying to make Vergara look younger (a mistake, it made her look ancient).

It was good cheap thrills... and the crack smoking was something added to the usual cocaine-Miami-cartel template.

I’ve smoked crack before. Let’s just say that her technique using the glass stem was wanting…

Well, I just finished with the last episode. Sad ending. Felt rushed, indeed. There would have been so much more to explore. Of course, in the end she was nothing but a psychopath drug baroness.

Arturo.. :-((

Sophia’s performance was at times fantastic but she had very poorly written lines to work with.

3 out of 5 stars.

I made it through the first 15 minutes before I was too disgusted to keep on watching. Too many discrepancies that made no sense.

Hard pass.

It had some remarkably strong moments, but it also felt very Ryan Murphy at times, and that is never a good thing.

R17 I was also looking at her skin. I pray to god it was a character thing because it constantly looked like a bad make-up job. Sophia is a beautiful woman, she doesn't need layers of pancake.

What was also odd is that in some scenes, Sophia showed formidable range, and in other scenes (especially the one where she was riling up her new recruits) she seemed like a fish out of water.

My little high achiever!

Did they explain how she got in the desk?

It was a good, not great limited series. Sofia's performance was a bit campy, but certainly no where near the embarrassment OP is suggesting. In fact, I think she was giving a very respectable performance that showcased significantly more range than she has in the past.

The writing and direction were uneven and they really overdid it sometimes -- like the whole cigarette "outlining" thing or the whole family watching The Godfather. Great costumes, makeup, hair and production design!
