It first throws you into the action with El Chapo battling the clock with an intense drug delivery, The story itself is compelling, but it was executed to a sub-par level, to say the least. The scenery is great, dialogue is alright, but the timer which counted down the hours was simply way too off-touch, i want to get a sense of reality, but the timer made it feel like another amateur made action film, however this was just the first episode.
Later on i felt some actual intrigue and satisfaction from watching the story progress, i was satisfied that they played out interesting parts of the story while copying real-life footage into the movie to show us what character is who, interesting technique.
I absolutely love that they compared that one guy's political rise to power with El Chapo's, they were both playing the same game, with similar goals. Just different rules and different places.
I'm just talking about the first half of the season however, the latter episodes were all about El Chapo's stay in the prison, which i feel is a little drawn out. We get to know the characters and prison brutality but i fail to see where it's going to lead us, i certainly hope it won't be prison break V2 and more of El Chapo's childhood transition into adulthood, that's where the real story's at.
This series still has potential but it's not really looking promising with the way it's headed, failed attempts and tries to get out of prison over and over and over, that was all we got from the last episodes. If it's prison break V2 i'm going to be very sad because this story carries so much potential, i sincerely hope the potential will be used fully.
