Caught a few minutes of it. The trailer looked good but I already knew to lower my expectations when I found out it was on Lifetime. But still it was....boring? Neutered and overdramatic I could understand, but there's no reason this shyt should've put me to sleep. Might give it another shot cause CZJ is good and can hold her own but I'm not breaking my neck to do it.
Not too interested in the JLO version either. She can't fukking act, she's way too young and attractive and I already know they're not going to be able to help themselves from playing up her sex appeal which makes her the polar opposite of Griselda. shyt's probably gonna be nothing but how she got soldiers to work for her via seduction by her phat ass.
Let me clarify, I mean women (and men) in drug trafficking specifically. The fascination with Griselda Blanco, and her status as a trafficker, is so overblown, and unwarranted. I am just sick of the 80's era of cocaine trafficking, can we move into the 90's and 2000's, it's time.
Overblown? Unwarranted? She was the biggest female narco in history and had a brutal, merciless reputation. Of course people continue to be interested in that shyt.
80s era cocaine stories are always going to be fascinating because unlike crack in the 90s or meth in the 2000s, mass drug trafficking was new and dealing and consumption involved many wealthy players (on both ends). They made initially their money off the ultra rich, Hollywood and high society types. Last I checked, whole American cities and financial institutions haven't been built solely on the back of narcotics since Miami. How is that not interesting?
