Surviving the Cartel (2022– ) User Reviews

Unique, detailed, and interesting.

[kadige · 8/10 · 22 May 2022]

The team behind Surviving the Cartel cooked up something so unique, detailed, and interesting that it has become an addiction for me. Will "The Baker" come back in the second season? Can we have a flash back on the Baker?

Episode does get better and better.

[cahopa · 8/10 · 30 May 2022]

It is a brilliant show. Surviving the Cartel audiences should tune into it. Each episode does get better and better. I could not believe how good the first season was. It was like, the way all TV shows should be.

Great acting performance.

[dowos · 8/10 · 1 June 2022]

This show just gets better by the episode. The performances are simply astonishing, and outstanding, it totally made me binge watch from the very beginning, totally a must watch! I give it a 8 because I don't like the junior detective "Kyle Chapman". They should have cast someone else.

This Show is Amazing! WOW!!!

[BrigitteAut · 10/10 · 10 May 2022]

I learned about this show through a social media ad. First, I was skeptical as this show is independent and only available on pay-per-view. But the trailer was so intense and the plot seemed so original that I had to watch it. After binging all 5 episodes in one night, all I can say is WOW!!! I'm a woman in my 40s and I am hooked on a Cartel show. I can't believe it. The story, the plot, the dialogue, the direction, the acting, the music are so well executed that it blows my mind.

Addictive.

[pewox-40676 · 10/10 · 10 June 2022]

This show is pretty good. I've watched so many series but no Series can give me the Thrill, Joy and Fun like Surviving the Cartel. A perfect series with a fine build-up and a perfect ending of the first season.

Phenomenal show

[paniwi-75843 · 7/10 · 21 May 2022]

In my opinion this is a phenomenal show with phenomenal characters, and a phenomenal story. Of course, it is not perfect, and it's absolutely NOT the best show of all time. But I recommend it to anyone. In my opinion, the acting is great. The show is about survival and the actions humans take to survive the drug business and its consequences. Why 7? Because I don't like the subtitles and you have them all the time in this show.

Truly amazing thriller

[nikamo-18072 · 8/10 · 7 June 2022]

When you first start watching, the pastiche is so thick you fear you might not be able to ignore it. This truly amazing thriller of a show. It has some great scenes and moments. Great acting!

I couldn't stop watching a lot of times.

[kifok-46165 · 9/10 · 11 June 2022]

Out of all the shows that came out from 2008 till now this is the best of them all. This show has a very complex plot and is really interesting. I couldn't stop watching a lot of times.

Is it a true story? It seems very real.

[fatoxi-01838 · 10/10 · 1 June 2022]

The storytelling is great, the characters are great and it seems very real. I can't praise this Season 1. The best and one of the greatest series of all time in TV history, Surviving the Cartel is a unique experience, with the best episodes in the world of cinema.

Near Perfect

[lowava · 8/10 · 15 May 2022]

This show is so perfect that you will never be able to watch another show. Everything from the subtle details, to the unmatched writing and the perfect cast, to the very beautifully shot scenes. It may very well be the best Tv-show out there.

This show is something that will certainly make history.

[jehapos · 10/10 · 3 July 2022]

This show is something that will certainly make history. This show portrays cops, politicians, drug dealers at their lowest emotional level. If it were to be the last show to ever run, that would make it a perfectly historical culmination.

The quality of writing is WOW.

[jefepo-16052 · 10/10 · 18 May 2022]

I have never seen a show that I loved so much from the start. The quality of writing is just WOW. I think it's done brilliantly. Created by Ely Bams? Who is he? I just saw that this is his first TV show credit. How did he write something so GREAT on his first try? All acting on the show is A class. So many different people performed greatly.

It's unique.

[pifasop · 8/10 · 18 May 2022]

This show is really interesting. I couldn't stop watching it because of how good it was. The ending of season is really great. Is this a true story? It's very different and unique from what we see on Tv and on other streaming platforms. It's unique.

I'm hooked on this show.

[yadeken · 9/10 · 9 July 2022]

I've never been the type of person that gets hooked on TV shows. In fact, I don't even watch that much TV, and the only show I watch on a regular basis is Sportscenter. Surviving The Cartel, however, has broken this trend.

The writer built the characters in a great way like Gabriel Agüero as Alejandro Cardona and Dennis O'Neill as Frank Harper. The ending of the first season was the best.

It's worth your time and money

[layimi-41131 · 9/10 · 18 May 2022]

Because the show is only available in pay-per-view. I thought about 100 times before paying to rent it. I just can't believe it. It's worth every single dime of my money. This is one of those top writing series. The dialogue is so well written that you can quote them everyday of your life. Great show, amazing concept. I love it.

The cinematography is phenomenal

[ninax-95367 · 8/10 · 25 May 2022]

I think this show is so good. The cinematography is phenomenal and I can't say anything bad about this. This is truly an amazing experience that everyone needs to witness once or twice in their life.

Great show!

[focipaj · 9/10 · 24 May 2022]

I've read a few remarks about the perfection of this show, saying it's perfect. I completely disagree. It's a great show and there are so many aspects that get their place in the series, every single one in its own way and is also interconnected to other story-line.

By the 10 minute mark, I knew this was brilliant.

[cihavo-51250 · 9/10 · 8 June 2022]

I have never seen a production in which I was so integrated with its characters. I could have easily given a 10. When I first heard of this, I thought the concept of the show was original and unique. Especially, because it's not based on something. By the 10 minute mark, I was fully engrossed and knew this was brilliant.

The word brilliant isn't enough

[hebiboc · 10/10 · 30 June 2022]

I have seen many brilliant shows, and Surviving the Cartel is one of them. Even the word brilliant isn't enough to put into words how good this series is. Surviving the Cartel is by far the best show of all time. The drama. The character development. The acting. The build-up. The suspense. This is perfect.

The character arcs and development are works of art.

[socol-25931 · 9/10 · 1 June 2022]

The character arcs and development are works of art. This series will always sit on my top 5 list. A true masterpiece from start to finish. If you haven't seen it, get to it!

Multi elements and multi angles.

[tegog-84049 · 8/10 · 5 June 2022]

I will try to summarize this show. I think Surviving The Cartel has multi elements and multi angles. In fact, the highly praised realism is not the focus of my attention, but the problem is that it is the realism that the crew adheres to that improves the relatively unique promotion of the whole and the unpredictable ending of clues. The details are excellent..

Compelling storylines! This is ART!

[rinov-16644 · 10/10 · 5 July 2022]

This right here is a good show. Great characters, acting and writing. Little to no flaws to be found. This show is amazing, one of the strongest most compelling storylines I've ever seen in a tv show.

Vortex of intense and dangerous situations mixed with calm.

[fasepe-84145 · 10/10 · 11 June 2022]

Surviving the Cartel is a magnificent, outstanding, and completely original television series that is filled with fantastic character development, action, and an endless amount of highly intense and unforgetful scenes. In spite of the vortex of intense and dangerous situations the show manages to carry throughout all its episodes some unexplainable vibe of incredible calmness.

The best series

[migor-72516 · 9/10 · 13 July 2022]

This is the best series I have ever watched. After the first episode I was hooked. I continued to watch and I watched for 5 straight hours. My sister and I refer to the show as "Bandidos" . We think that Alejandro Cardona is a great character.

This is the way TV-series should be made

[rahew-03283 · 10/10 · 14 June 2022]

This Surviving The Cartel is beautiful. I think this is the way TV-series should be directed and produced. I loved the fast pace of the series from the first minute till the end. I didn't skip anything or felt bored.

The flow of the series and the way the director delivers it to the screen is unique. This is the best series I have ever watched. It is perfectly written. Surviving the Cartel is the perfect series ever.
