I had great expectations for this. Hoping that it would be a great series to watch. Sadly I got as far as 20minutes into Episode 1, Series 1 and came to the conclusion that I was watching something over acted, over stupid, unbelievable and unrealistic! I then skipped into Episode 2 and beyond just to confirm it is stupid.
So why am I unhappy? The characters are so beyond what you might expect in reality. Experienced and ranking agents in the film are too young and resemble characters from Charlies Angels. The female gangsters are so far from reality they are like the bad Charlies Angels and the male gangsters are so over played and one is even called "Titi". Come on for goodness sake, which Titi thought that Titi would be a good name for gangster character?
Then we have the product itself which is the backbone storyline. I skipped to The takers of the drug can resist being shot in the chest at close range and then behave like The Hulk to escape, however, another guy takes the wonder product, does a runner and ends up seemingly dead. Well he was until a Charlies Angel type that works for both sides puts her foot on him and you can clearly see he forgot to play dead. She shoots him anyway.
When I watch a film or series I am hoping the actors, story, authenticity and continuity will get me hooked within 15minutes. Narcos and El Chapo are so many levels above this rubbish. In my opinion, it is ideal for early teenagers to watch as it will keep them of the streets for many an hour!
