All of these cartel, whether Colombian or Mexican are just destined to be either white washed trash, or overly stylized shock value violence, that fails to accurately create the world these events happen in....Start a little fukking later. Move on from Colombia and the 80's. It's been done. They don't have the authenticity or gravitas, or real understanding of Mexican/Colombian Cartel violence to make a movie that is worthy of this subject matter. They just treat it like an action movie, shoot the scenes in New Mexico or some shyt, get some vaguely questionable Mexicans to give sub par performances from a weak script with glamour casting, and then we get shyt like 'Savages', 'Queen of The South', 'Sabatoge', it's embarrassing. '

You perfectly described Hollywood. That's how they roll.

The most realistic portrayal of the drug world is in "The Wire" on HBO. I've started rewatching that recently and am currently finishing off the last season.

I didn't read OP but I'm assuming J.Lo's show will be loosely based on that drug dealer woman.
