Planning a weekend in to Netflix and chill? Point of View has you covered with the latest suggestions for what to binge-watch and what to skip entirely.
Entertainment Contributor, Leroy Marc joins Phemelo Motene on Point of View reviewing the much-talked about series Griselda on Netflix, The Under Doggs on Prime video and much more.
Griselda is an explosive series about notorious 1970s druglord Griselda Blanco, played by Sofia Vergara of Modern Family fame.
Blanco was one of the most infamous drug dealers in Columbia, apart from Pablo Escobar, and was the first to smuggle cocaine into the US on a large scale.
Nicknamed “the Godmother of cocaine”, the Netflix series shows Columbian actress Sofia Vergara in a role like no other, in a dramatization that indulges how Griselda Blanco created one of the world’s most powerful cartels.
Sofia Vergara and Netflix are being sued by Blanco’s family who attempted to block the release of the limited series.
Blanco’s son Michael Corleone Blanco and his wife are seeking in excess of $50 000 in damages, arguing that the shows promotional material contains images that bears a stark resemblance to family members.
He also alleges that the show was put together from recorded interviews that the producers had with him which he claims he was never compensated for.
Vergara is also an executive producer on the show.
Is Griselda worth the watch? Fans of Narcos which centers around Pablo Escobar will love Griselda, because the same team that put together Narcos worked on Griselda.
The story is dark, but Sofia Vergara is being hailed for her outstanding performance in the role which is a true rise and fall plot.
Griselda Blanco was arrested in 1985 in New York, and spent nearly 20-years in behind bars for drug trafficking and 3 murders.
She was deported back to Columbia in 2004, and was shot and killed in 2012 in an apparent hit.
