Surviving the Cartel (2022– ) User Reviews

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.

I'm sure glad I watched it.

[rodes-99978 · 8/10 · 25 May 2022]

Here's a TV series I almost skipped, because it's available on pay-per-view and it just didn't seem that interesting to me. I eventually gave it a chance, and I'm sure glad I did. Although there were some quality dips during the run of the series it certainly has earned its place as one of the most memorable series of all time.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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..

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 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!

This is a MASTERPIECE

[rohes-09742 · 10/10 · 20 May 2022]

Surviving the Cartel show is a masterpiece, no need to say anything about this show, just watch it and watch it again. The concept, the plot, the theme, the pacing and characters are what really set Surviving The Cartel apart from similarly themed series or movies.

I need more

[xifirew · 8/10 · 18 May 2022]

Although I think this is a great show. I don't think it can be put in the top 5 of the best shows ever. We need to see how the story goes. We need to see the second, third season before putting it in the top 5 of best shows ever. Many shows started well then became boring. Let's wait and see.

Amazing acting by actors who deserve the spotlight.

[tanop-69475 · 9/10 · 9 July 2022]

Surviving the Cartel is the greatest piece of art I've ever seen! If you love cinema and film, this show will bring you on a journey that no other show will give you. In my opinion, this show is highlighting a few less-known actors and bringing them into the spotlight. And hopefully will become more well-known off the back of this good show.

The best series ever!

[daxoh-03352 · 8/10 · 27 May 2022]

The best series ever, the best thing that distinguishes the series is that the level of the series continues to rise to the last episode and the season has finished perfectly.

Outstanding but I give it 8/10

[hayot-14333 · 8/10 · 18 May 2022]

I will try to keep it short. Surviving the Cartel is a magnificent, outstanding, and a completely original television series that is filled with fantastic character developments, a unique storyline, and an endless amount of highly intense and unforgettable scenes.

Great drama, Great character development.

[xiniho-72120 · 10/10 · 27 May 2022]

Surviving the Cartel is by far the best show of all time. The drama. The character development. The acting. The build-up. The suspense. Everything about it is just perfect.

I started binge-watching it and I couldn't stop watching.

[weles-70069 · 10/10 · 9 July 2022]

Never caught this when it was on TV, but I started binge-watching it and I couldn't stop watching. It is nothing short of excellent. Easily the best TV show i have ever watched! This show is a true king of shows.

The acting is brilliant!

[gafape-94199 · 10/10 · 11 June 2022]

The acting is brilliant, and the themes are amazing, timeless, and timely, and are presented to us in thought-provoking ways that leave me pondering philosophical ideas long after the show is over.

How did they do that? Great show.

[sajig-43036 · 9/10 · 18 May 2022]

Ely Bams created a great story, a great show. That's undeniable! I read about him online and It seems he did everything independently without Hollywood money. Watching it, the show feels so personal. Did Ely Bams survive the cartel himself? For me Surviving the Cartel is not a show it is a feeling, an emotion every time I rewatch I get more excited instead.

Good shows are rare!

[roweyig · 8/10 · 25 May 2022]

I like this show, but the second episode was not that good. I hope they make sure that all their future episodes in season 2 aren't like episode 2. Cause nothing is so sad as watching a good show die in a slow way. Good shows are rare !

It's awesome!

[rofixa · 10/10 · 14 June 2022]

I'm mid-season when I write this "review", and I am just mind blown. It's awesome! It's like a mix between Narcos, True Detective, and Breaking Bad. I guarantee it's as addictive as coke, the drug not the soda. LOL.

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 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.

I am excited for the next season.

[giwoba-57565 · 10/10 · 3 June 2022]

I loved every second of all episodes of Surviving the Cartel. This is the next life-changing show that will become something you look forward to. I am truly excited for the next season.
