    Totally amazing episodes!!

    I don't care about any bad reviews people write about Senior De Los Cielos. True we all wanted main character alive, but I do believe he'll be back. I've watched this episodes twice. I love ALL the cast! Thank you so much!

    Perverse

    Ten stars for Ochmann.

    Ochmann somehow makes you like a villain/monster. The expressions on Ochmann's face, his cockiness, body language and sarcasm are spectacular. I don't understand all the Mexican-Colombian lingo, but some of the things he says are funny. I find myself laughing every time he laughs. Go figure. He makes it worth watching if you can bare all the Illuminati garbage, signs, colors, references, rituals and hand gestures. The character "tijeras" is also funny.

    I found season two barbaric; animal body parts used as lamps and trinkets. By season three, I was nauseated by the constant use of black and white color scheme, all the hexagrams, squares and triangles. Episode 89, Amaya is wearing a black shirt with what appears to be the head of a goat embellished/embroidered in white. So disappointing he partakes in this mentality, and depiction of ranchero attire ruined and disgraced. If you enjoy threesomes and women used as seductresses, this season is full of that.

    It's unfortunate viewers don't get to see the beauty, architecture and antiquity of this country or any others used during production.

    Telemundo scores big again!

    Telemundo series are terrific and this is one of the best. Its so engrossing, though, its hard to watch something else and season 3 has over 100 episodes!

    I love that Telemundo isn't controlled by Big Tobacco with cigarettes always in use. Yes, its very predictable in many ways but the acting is outstanding and storyline is fun and always interesting.

    Starting to lose interest.

    Well as season 9 just finished. I hate to admit I'm losing interest. It's the same old. As in the real world people get tired of it so they move on. Well for me I'm feeling all the best characters who help make this show great well they all gone except for Aurelio of course. But even they tried killing him off and the show was flopping so yeahhh. I miss the gun fights even tho their props manager has no idea what firearms to use and teach these fools properly how to pretend to shoot or the proper stance. I hate how Cabo fires the AK. I would slap him stupid for that alone. And in no way with a mini uzi will over a .30 caliber.

    Writers need a tune up

    Must say got in to this series because of Narcos. The problem with this series is the writing, last two years sort of corny. Drug kingpins couldn't or aren't as stupid as this series makes them out to be. It's a miracle that Cabo also escapes serious harm... OMG... Season seven ending is about as stupid as they come too. Get real and rethink the writing, we want to see the Castillas win or we wouldn't watch! Bri

    • Trivia
      Mexican actor Rafael Amaya (Aurelio Casillas) also plays the same character in the Netflix series Queen of the South (2016) and the Telemundo series Lady of Steel (2014) and El Chema (2016), his character being based on real-life drug lord Amado Carrillo Fuentes who was known as "The Lord of the Skies" because of the fleet of planes he used to transport drugs. Fuentes died in a Mexican hospital in July 1997 after undergoing extensive plastic surgery in an attempt to alter his appearance.
