Review of Wild District

Wild District (2018–2019)
5/10
Interesting but hard work to watch!
10 November 2018
This is a very poorly produced series that is rooted in the reintegration and assimilation of FARC guerillas in Colombia. The story has all the usual cliches of any one of a hundred other Telenovelas, the self-sacrificing mother, the resentful son etc. The acting is at the level one would expect from most Telenovelas i.e. very poor.

The main focus for the story is how the experience of being a "child guerilla" has impacted someone's life, and how this continues even through adult life and extends to relationships, family etc.

As has been mentioned, the first few episodes are slow, uninteresting and it's just hard work to stay engaged. It is not suitable for binge watching but rather is best watched in short spurts when there is nothing else in the streaming queue. It is just an average production and probably one that the streaming site will review before deciding to renew.
