Even with distracting prosthetics and false teeth, Vergara looks nothing like Griselda Blanco. Still, even if the attempt at a makeover is an unfortunate distraction, everything goes in a "Scarface" mode/formula and delivers a robust and over-the-top performance in this blood-soaked series from the creators of "Narcos" that plays like an extended B-movie. Very violent also because it's based on real-life tough events and adhering to a number of major events in Blanco's life, "Griselda". The story is highly stylized and fictionalized, as is the case with virtually all of these based-on-a-true-story gangster movies and series but it works..
