Netflix's Griselda is one of the best hits of 2024 so far, and there's a good reason that the show is breaking ground. Fans and critics alike have sung praises for the six-episode limited series.
The biographical crime drama tells the story of The Cocaine Godmother Griselda Blanco, who ruled the Miami underworld in the '70s and '80s and helped establish cocaine trade links between Colombia and the United States.
Sofia Vergara's role as the titular character is highly praised, and many want more to do with this crime drama. While we may not get more Griselda, there are several shows to watch that are similar to the series.

Weeds is a funnier, lower-stakes version of Griselda, in a way. Hard times drive Nancy Botwin (Mary-Lousie Parker) into the marijuana trade. A widowed mother of two boys, this mom is willing to do anything for her family.

Andy Taylor thought that Nov. 5, 2022 was going to be one of the greatest nights of his life. After years of waiting, Duran Duran were finally entering the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The guitarist had co-founded the band back in 1980 and co-wrote many of their biggest songs, including “Rio” and “Hungry Like the Wolf,” but he hadn’t shared a stage with them since 2006, when old tensions resurfaced during the creation of their aborted album Reportage and they parted ways.

Were my eyes deceiving me?
Did Power Book II: Ghost Season 3 Episode 8 actually end with the show's longest-running villain finally running out of second chances?
Stop right here if you're not caught up because we're sprinting headfirst into the final moments of the hour, which were a doozy, and are going to see us up for a crazy end to this chapter.
Cooper Saxe has been there since the very beginning of Power. Really think about that and what it means. He was there through Ghost, Angela, Tasha, and Tommy. A constant thorn in their sides for years, failing time and time again to bring them down.
Even though he was a US attorney tasked with being on the side of the "good guys," looking to bring the big, bad murdering drug dealers down, he was an antagonist from the start. A man obsessed with getting justice to the point...
