Title: Good Series Worthy of Better DVD Release
Review: Presumably if you're considering this DVD you already know something about the series. It's a good miniseries -- much more realistic than your typical Latin American telenovela. The problem is the DVDs -- one disk we can't get to play at all (on several different players). Other disks have problems with certain chapters, or will play up to a point then stop. As it was, I was annoyed, but if I had not seen the whole series on TV when it first played in the US, it would have made it impossible to follow. Even though this showed on Telemundo with subtitles in English, they are missing here. Considering that plenty of the dialogue is in colloquial, Colombian narco-slang, that makes it hard to follow for non-native speakers. There is a disk with some "extras" but nothing like what you would get with a US (or most foreign) films on DVD.It's a good series worth watching, but it deserves a better quality DVD release.
