A while back, I heard that they were going to release a new series about Pablo Escobar, but the story is based on the life of his son鈥攂ecause we all know what Escobar was like. However, learning about the stories of those who lived with him鈥攊n this case, his own family鈥攊s something new, and that鈥檚 why his son, his biological son, decided to tell his side of the story through this series.
This is the first series authorized by the Escobar family, narrated by Juan Pablo Escobar himself, based on the real events they experienced alongside his father鈥攅vents that shaped his life. The series shows us his childhood and adolescence, surrounded by a life full of luxury and comforts, but at the same time, marked by violence, murders, and drugs鈥攊n short, everything that comes with being the son of a drug lord.
Hace un tiempo hab铆a escuchado que iban a sacar una nueva serie relacionada con este hombre, como lo es Pablo Escobar, pero la historia se basa en la vida de su hijo, porque bien sabemos c贸mo fue Escobar; sin embargo, conocer la historia de quienes convivieron con 茅l, en este caso, su propia familia, es algo nuevo, y es por esto que su hijo, su verdadero hijo, tom贸 la decisi贸n de contar su versi贸n mediante esta serie.
Esta es la primera serie autorizada por la familia de Escobar, relatada por el propio Juan Pablo Escobar, basada en los eventos reales que vivieron junto con su padre, sucesos que marcaron su vida. La serie nos muestra su ni帽ez y adolescencia, rodeado de una vida llena de lujos, comodidades, pero a la vez, con mucha violencia, asesinatos, drogas, en fin, todo lo que conlleva ser el hijo de un narco.
The story features strong performances; there are the main characters, playing the hitmen who worked for Escobar and who, in turn, were responsible for caring for and protecting Juan Pablo, his son; in the role of Pablo Escobar himself, we have actor Jhon Leguizamo. Honestly, this guy is a good actor; however, this role didn鈥檛 quite convince me. I feel he needed to delve a little deeper into the character鈥攁fter all, we鈥檝e seen many actors portray Escobar, and we know he had a distinctive accent and way of speaking. As I said, although this actor gave it his all, he fell short. Even so, he managed to take us back in time, reminding us a bit of who this man was, what he meant to his family and his country, and all the devastation, chaos, and crimes he committed.
Created by Sebasti谩n Ortega, Pablo Farina, and Juan Pablo Escobar, and directed by Pablo Fendrik and Felipe Cano Iba帽ez, Dear Killer Nannies: Raised by Hitmen (2026) is a never-before-told story about Pablo Escobar Gaviria, shifting the focus this time to his son鈥檚 childhood, his memories, and his perspective.
If you like this kind of series and want to learn even more about the world of a man like Escobar, I highly recommend it.
La historia cuenta con buenas actuaciones; est谩n los personajes principales, personificando a los sicarios que trabajaban para Escobar, y que, a su vez, ten铆an la responsabilidad de cuidar y proteger a Juan Pablo, su hijo; en el papel del propio Pablo Escobar tenemos al actor Jhon Leguizamo. La verdad, este tipo es un buen actor; sin embargo, este papel no me convenci贸 mucho. Siento que le falto m谩s profundizar un poco en el personaje, y es que bien hemos visto muchas actores representando a Escobar, y sabemos que ten铆a un acento peculiar, una forma de hablar, y como dije, este actor, aunque hizo su mayor esfuerzo, le falto. Aun as铆, logr贸 llevarnos de nuevo en el tiempo, recordando un poco de lo que fue este hombre, lo que signific贸 para su familia, su pa铆s, todo el estrago, el caos y los cr铆menes que cometi贸.
Una serie creada por Sebasti谩n Ortega, Pablo Farina y Juan Pablo Escobar, con direcci贸n de Pablo Fendrik y Felipe Cano Iba帽ez, Dear Killer Nannies: Criado por sicarios (2026), es una historia jam谩s contada sobre la figura de Pablo Escobar Gaviria, donde en esta ocasi贸n desplaza el foco hacia la infancia de su hijo, su ni帽ez, sus recuerdos, y su versi贸n.
Si les gusta este tipo de series y quieren conocer aun mas sobre el entorno de este hombre, como lo fue Escobar, se las recomiendo.
