La Jefa has arrived.
In the first 10 minutes of the upcoming drama series Griselda, a woman rushes through the door of her palatial home, running up the wrought iron–lined stairway toward the bathroom. At the top of the stairs, she winces in pain and grabs her abdomen. She looks down. There is blood on her hands.

As the preview clip continues, Griselda stumbles inside the bathroom, rummages through toiletries, then presses a menstrual pad to her side wound. She affixes it with children’s Band-Aids, chomps a handful of painkillers, and looks intensely into the mirror. Violence has truly come home…

“Griselda” is a revenge story. Yes, it’s an account of real-life drug queenpin Griselda Blanco’s (an engrossing Sofía Vergara) rise to The Godmother of the Medellín Cartel. But this tale isn’t an account of some distressed damsel who gets swept up in the underworld. Instead, what creator Eric Newman offers is a window into the mind of a highly meticulous and intelligent woman, intent on taking back everything that was ever stolen from her, even if she destroys herself in the process. Fast-paced and well-acted, the show is brutal, fascinating and full of high drama. It all begins with a bold escape.
Produced by the team behind “Narcos,” the limited series opens in the late 1970s in Medellín, Columbia. An obviously distressed, injured Griselda rushes in the front door of her well-curated home. She makes a frantic phone call to a friend, Carmen (Paulina Dávila), before packing...
