‘Griselda’
Netflix’s latest crime hit Griselda is a glittering look at the debauched world of 1970s and 1980s Miami, a kingdom of crime ruled over by none other than Griselda Blanco (Sofia Vergara). The six part limited series plays fast and loose with Blanco’s true story, but that doesn’t matter. Griselda is a decadent drama full of delicious performances, feverish action sequences, and bold storytelling choices. Of course, the best part of the series is star Sofia Vergara’s gripping performance as a single mom-on-the-run who turns to a life of crime to save herself. Sure, Griselda is a master drug dealer, understanding the magical allure of a cocaine high like no one else. But the true high Griselda is chasing is absolute power over everyone around her. She’s able to eventually crush her enemies, but finds herself undone by her own paranoia.
