Griselda - Netflix show with Sofía Vergara

[Anonymous]

Finally watched Cocaine Cowboys and SV's Griselda def tries to give (at least at the beg) more of a redemptive flavor to her. Maybe redemptive isn't the right word. Sympathetic,

She was a #$$ crazy, violent psychopath, lacking in any sort of empathy. Wow.

Her mug shot is giving grandfather from King of the Hill.

I bet you would lose a LOT of money.

Just to clarify, we are talking about the original one from 2006, right? Not the one with the two powerboaters right?

Agree. Found it very distracting.

I found the makeup distracting as well because obviously, you know that SV eyebrows are covered up.

But by episode 3 or 4 I found her very unsympathetic. I haven't seen the documentary but I thought she was a psychopath while watching the Netflix show.

Yes, the one from 2006.

She was. Apparently one of the sons was offended SV made her "look ugly" though I REALLY don't see it. SV seems to think she was made totally hideous with the makeup and prosthetics, but I still thought she looked pretty good in the show. Anyway, this is young and middle aged Griselda. She clearly got that piggish nose job they love in LA, but either way she was not always ugly.

Although the "Kings of Miami" one was pretty fascinating too.

Stop believing everything you read, neither of those pictures of that disgusting hag.

It is very well done, acting convincing and sets realistic.

I did not recognize Sophia as her make up was so heavy - took 1.5 hours before shooting each day.

However, it is heart breaking that Griselda continued to make worse and worse decisions that not only placed her and her sons at great risk, but created a whole new market for highly addictive drugs among wealthy retirees, young professionals and others who not previously been much exposed to drugs.

Another sad thing for me was that Sophia helped to break down stereotypes of Columbian Cocaine cartels and crime with her iconic Gloria role in Modern Family. Now she is showing off her acting chops but totally reinforcing negative stereotypes of Colombian culture being crime addled, sexist, violent, and depraved.

But it is well done.

That's because the entertainment industry sees LatinX actors and the characters they play as fungible and one-dimensional.
