Wild District

This is a crude representation of the worst disease for a country. Corruption is the real source of all evils it feeds itself like snake eating it's tail.

Very gripping, fast paced and compelling, a series about the fight against corporate mafias with real command in the arena of the disputed political power in Colombia. A former undercover Farc guerrilla and a female prosecutor wield a crusade against them. Acting of the cast great. Very real and with frightening action scenes.

I have to confess that I almost failed a test because I didn't study for a weekend and instead i was watching this. The characters are captivating and the story easy to understand.

Being an admirer of BBC and Scandinavian crime series, from time to time, I am eager to widen my horizons and see what is going on in other countries. Well, I have seen many Spanish-language ones, including from Latin America, but still - the countries there are different vis-a-vis history and current issues. In spite of the fact that I had no awareness of the approach and performers (incl. Juan Pablo Raba - I have not seen Narcos yet), the Series seemed catchy from almost the beginning, and the flashbacks provided necessary background to realise what whas going on and why some characters thought and acted as they did.

All the cast seemed appropriate and with mutual chemistry, and the ending let some things open, so a sequel might be envisaged. Anyway, I will be looking to watch the possible next season as well.

Season one was phenomenal, near perfect. Season 2 gets bogged down by overplaying Daniela's story. I still like the show, but the pace seems to grind to a near halt at times.
