Carolina Acevedo plays the female protagonist, Lena Duke, who falls in love with Ricardo. Lucho Velasco, Julián Mora, Isabel Gaona, Patricia Tamayo and Bruno Díaz round out the cast.
The series was produced by Sony Pictures Television.
It will air 5 nights a week for a few months. If you subscribe to almost any cable service besides Comcast, you can view it on your computer at UVideos. If you have Comcast, you will only be able to get Spanish subtitles. Solution: An indoor antenna, which runs through your TV, not cable box. You can then get real time English captions. And a better picture.
It's also free, even if you have any cable. Unimas, a subsidiary of Univision, airs almost everywhere.
Since I only watched 10 minutes tonight, I don't know if it will be as good as Pablo Escobar, Patron del Mal, El Capo (1, 2, or 3), La Reina del Sur, or Senor de los Cielos I, 2 and 3, about Amado Carillo Fuentes, Lord of the Skies.)
The characters are real, but they use different names. I end up wanting to know who's who, since so many have had court cases in the U.S., and it's interesting to read the real stories in court pleadings or books.
It's hard to go back to American TV after watching these. Because they air a new segment 5 nites a week, you get very invested in the characters, and there's a lot of action and plot twists. They don't glamorize the traffickers, and they show their flaws, but they also humanize them. The cops don't get such a good portrayal (Nor should they, given the rampant corruption down in Colombia.)
American TV has really dumbed down the past few years. So many shows should have been given a pink slip instead of left to die a slow death: Survivor, Amazing Race, the Voice, and so many more. About the only one I watch any more is Homeland. So give it a try and let me know what you think. You can get an antenna for under $25.
