There is something going on with Colombian TV: if is not lame series where people pretend that by acting idiotic they are supposed to be funny, is something related with drugs, gangs, prostitution, opportunism and something that praises violence, ignorance and stepping over others.
When confronted about the situation, the producers response is that this is what people like to watch and that content connects to people, because if there is nothing else to watch and there are no options is because people choose to watch it, and that is how they connect to people because everybody in Colombia is related to drugs, violence, gangs and prostitution; this is the same people that complain when this is how Colombian people are portrayed in foreign series, because is only bad if other people do it.
This basically translates to 'poor us, nobody has come to tell us what to do or made something else we can copy, and by making a series about violence once again we are being oh so intellectual and deep'.
So, yeah, yet another oh so deep series about gangs, violence, drugs and prostitution because there is nothing else to do.
