The best thriller TV show.
sihim-1560211 June 2022
Surviving the Cartel may perhaps be the best thriller TV show that I will be re-watching again and again throughout my life because the thrill is just a small reactant of this beautiful final product.

Good show but I don't like to read subtitles.
fixahe21 May 2022
Very good show. Acting, stupidity, and the lack of characters development are the things that ruin most Tv shows. Not this show. I didn't find myself yelling at the TV once. The show is not slow, and it's very engaging. I don't like to read subtitles and I'm not a fan of them; that's why I'm giving 8 out of 10.

Damn near perfect!

Surviving the Cartel is absolutely, without a doubt, one of the greatest series ever created. I guarantee you that. If you're one of the few people who still haven't seen this amazing show then do yourself a favor and go watch this immediately...you will not be disappointed!

This Show is Amazing! WOW!!!
BrigitteAut10 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.

Near Perfect
lowava15 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 couldn't stop watching a lot of times.
kifok-4616511 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.

Phenomenal show
paniwi-7584321 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.

Addictive.
pewox-4067610 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.

Is it a true story? It seems very real.

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.

Truly amazing thriller
nikamo-180727 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 something that will certainly make history.
jehapos3 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.

Best-written show - So many great quotes.
tapimi-4652130 June 2022
This show is very well developed. This is one of the best-written shows ever from character development to suspense. There are so many great quotes.

Surviving the Cartel is definitely one of the finest shows of all time. It is incredibly well made, with moody lighting, and great photography. And the music is very haunting.

The quality of writing is WOW.
jefepo-1605218 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.
pifasop18 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.

Wow! Undeniably talented cast
bobig-426585 June 2022
Surviving the Cartel is a fantastic television series with masterfully written episodes and an undeniably talented cast. I like that it did not try to do the same thing and stick with what worked in that show. It takes risks.

Great show!
focipaj24 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.

Surviving the Cartel is one of the greatest TV shows of our generation.
kicahaw22 May 2022
I saw it for the first time, and it won my heart. I wish I couldn't have access to the second season episodes right away. Too bad that it's not available yet. Surviving the Cartel is one of the greatest TV shows of our generation.

Until the end, very well done.
soyec7 June 2022
Until the end, very well done. This show has a very cinematic sweeping score. I like the guitar soundtrack of the intro. There is terrific dramatic writing. What made "Surviving The Cartel" different was that there were nice people in it, which made it all the more intriguing. We had good people to root for.

Surviving The Cartel is populated by amazing characters.
bepajak7 June 2022
Surviving The Cartel is populated by amazing characters. There is a great and detailed introduction for each main character. Each one of them gives precious moments to make sure the viewers get them, get their motives behind every action they undertake while keeping the suspense up and tense.

This is not just good stuff, this is the best stuff ever!
nejak-284493 July 2022
Simply put, this show is excellent. The story is excellent, the acting is excellent, the casting is excellent, and the directing is excellent.

There's far less to no gunfight in this series to put it properly.

The display of actual behind the scenes of the drug business and the drama that involves the main character's surroundings. This is proof that you don't need gunfight to tense up a situation. This is not just good stuff, this is the best stuff ever!

I'm hooked on this show.
yadeken9 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-4113118 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.

Great visual storytelling.
somihay27 May 2022
This show is personally one of my favorites and is extremely entertaining to watch. EVeryone here has talked about the story, characters and suspense which were great. Another thing I liked was the visual storytelling.

This is an opportunity to witness the greatest show ever crafted.
jeveyo3 July 2022
The story and screenplay are good. Writing about Surviving The Cartel scares me. True dread. I have long valued the option of maintaining the unappealable sentence that heads this text. This is an opportunity to witness the greatest show ever crafted. Absolutely a must see!
