Netflix's portrayal of Griselda fell short of expectations. Expanding the series to 20 episodes across two seasons would have provided a more comprehensive exploration of her story. Additionally, involving both Michael and Billy as consultants would have enhanced the authenticity and accuracy of the series. Six episodes proved insufficient to fully capture the complexity of her life.
How though he was just a little boy when all this was going on when she dies he was still a little boy so how is he to tell the real true story come on he just wants to cash in on it.
Michael is someone who turned such a bad set of circumstances into something positive. I can not imagine the trauma he has lived through. I am glad he got out of that life, it's hard when it is your family business and legacy. It must be very painful to have been born into this family.
Coach Mike! He was my son’s boxing coach. Such a positive great man. He made such a difference in my son’s life when he needed it. Forever grateful for you. ❤ Much love to you, Marie, and your beautiful daughter.
I understand the sheer frustration from the son, who didn't get paid out and Rakontur, who did most of the research that Netflix stole...I knew more about Griselda 10 years ago than I learnt watching Netflix. Will buy the book
I know Michael was a young boy when all this happened and people don’t believe his story, but I think you all are forgetting that Griselda died in 2012. Michael spoke to his mother on a regular basis. This story isn’t just based on his memories, but also on her words.
Yeah, I understand all that. But I honestly believe that she loved him so much that she is only gonna tell him what presented herself in the best light
@@chaddevine565 That's a big possibility and a good point... so is the possibility that Michael is getting some of the stories straight from the participants and their family that can confirm some of the stories he was told by his mother Griselda.
Hes Columbian u Einstein Im Mexican American born n raised in Texas and I speak fluent spanish unlike alot of sellout mfers of my race who are from the panhandle! Im from south Texas and down there we dont have an identity crisis like them fools from up north who wanna be white!
I have so much respect for how Michael carries himself and how he speaks about the history he knows. I would love for Teresa Caputo or Tyler Henry to read him and the energy around him 👻
Heavy. Average person couldn't tolerate the amount of pain Michaels been through. Blessing that he's still alive to tell the story. Nothing but respect for him.
More details on Miguelito's passing please? One of these days Billy should do a "Where are they now?" video about the people who were still alive when the original CC doc was released.
It good to see him come here and set things straight. Most will see that Netflix ish and take it as all fact when obviously they were wrong. Much Respect 🙏
This series (with Billy and Michael) is simply amazing. I pre-ordered Michael’s book and when it arrived, I could not put it down. Our family moved to Miami Dade County in 1980, and we would experience the “insanity” that was Miami face to face, several times. The last encounter happened in a Burger King parking lot, and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. My Dad put in for a transfer (after his superiors heard what happened it was quickly approved) and out of Miami we went. This era will forever be part of my history.
Griselda, the dope game, cartels etc. Riveting stuff, but these aren't exactly the kinds of people most would root for. Keep in mind its based on true history with real figures. A few more episodes would've been nice( an even 10) so they wouldn't of had to rush the last sequence of events. But multiple seasons, this ain't Power. Wouldn't want to glorify Griselda Blanco.
They would’ve gotten sued and lost if they copied the story too much. If they get sued right now they will get away with it because it isn’t very spot on.
Cuban Colombian here and i love listening to Michael talk.. it’s like listening to one of my primos speaking on family issues. love you and Maria, Michael!
I only subscribed to your channel to hear Michael and what business venture you both have. I hope all his life story is now told right with him in front seat
I just knew there would be multiple seasons. But when she was sitting on the beach after prison and they just slapped the text across the screen, ending it all l nearly spit my drink out! Was like, did the show run out of money or ??????
I’d like to see Charles Cosby and Micheal in the same room .. in reality Charles finessed tf out of all of them . Dude is a living legend he played tf out Griselda.
Yes this comment , I’ve seen the movie and now the series with no mention of Charles ? Is his story completely authentic?? Fascinating that it is Billy ,who let that story be told ,that is now sat with Michael …. They must get to this as alluded to…I’ve a feeling he may have a different take …we will see.
Only time I’ve ever heard of Michael talking about Charles is in a podcast interview on Drink Champs a while back. He just thanks him for looking out for him and his family
I'm so sorry of the lose of your brother 😢 my big brother was murdered and I was shot so anytime someone talks about it I get bad ptsd I feel your pain te mando una fuerte abraso keep your head up and always remember your brother lives through you. Much love from chicago I can't wait to buy your book and read it 💙💯💪🙏
@@chaddevine565 there was a TV crime doc series on TLC Germany named "evil lives here" where he tells his story. That's where I actually first heard about him. I just looked it up & it was season 3 episode 14 "the last blanco". Really good episode. Good series in general.
I remember telling my wife i dont think Netflix Griselda is gonna be good. I could tell from the trailer that it was an over stylized glorification of her story. It looked cartoonish and come to find out thats exactly what it was. Them making her overly sympathetic was wack too. Had her crying about the Castro killing. Rivi said when he told her about that kid getting killed she smiled. I believe him too. Because Rivi says he likes her even to this day so why make her look like shit for the fuck of it.
Looking at this and seeing the pain this man is still in over all the craziness that went down says, it wasn't worth all that was lost and the terrible outcomes for so many. It wasn't worth it. Edit: Much respect to Michael Corleone, this wasn't easy for him.
I’m mad Netflix didn’t take advantage of telling the story the way it should be. This easily could’ve been like a 20 something episodes serie. They missed out details that could’ve made it even better and messed up timelines. The acting and shots were good but as someone who watched a bunch of doc on Griselda and read a lot about her, it fell short.
I knew it from the start that it didn’t(the Netflix spoof) express the correct essence of Griselda. The correct story, the correct essence of the Godmother. She is still firey in the afterworld. Js lol
I like how he's being all dramatic as if his brother was innocently killed and wasn't another murderer being murdered come on dude they all more then likely in hell for helping to destroy the community and the country
It really takes a special human being to endure that up bringing, and come out to share his side of the story to willingly relive those memories. Also, to put himself in the spotlight for everyone to see you including those who suffered his mom ways of soing business. A lot of those people she had killed family members etc might be even in the drug business, so yeah I hope he doesnt pay for none of this.
I don't know about a special human being. We all have to deal with the hand we are dealt and you never know what you can deal with until it's right on your doorstep. And you don't have a choice that's the way life works
En paz descanse tu familia Michael. We forget that this is not just a docu series, these were real lives that were lost. I can’t imagine what Michael has gone through to survive all this. He still feels threatened. Dios te cuide Michael.
As a huge CC documentary fan, I gotta say im loving the interview with Micheal. Would love to see a 'where are they now' or something with the original players from the orig CC doc. Also, would love to know what Michael thinks of Charles Cosby these days.
I believe I told you this story at one of your premieres but my father was in the Crown Liquors store a half hour before the shootings. He was in the mall walking around after it. I wasn't allowed to go to Dadeland for at least a year.
michael is a very strong person to have gone through all the trauma and not end up a drug addict to numb himself. people want to see him get some sort of big time hollywood production show to bless him with lots of cash to convey all of the stories properly. But I think it's a blessing that it doesnt happen for him because there are lot of family members of many victims out there watching and observing what he has to say about the astronomical bloodshed. I think he needs to go live his life with his wife and child and try to be low key as possible. It's insightful to make this so people understand what was public record but things need to finally just be left alone.
Mpg so sad when he start talking bout his brother 😢😢😢😢…this man has been true so much he has to deal with his last name until he dies…it has to be so hard for him…..
Billy I think you and Michael should do a doc on his mother because your better at telling the story. Would be interested on Michael's experience/opinion of Max mermelstien, John Roberts, Mickey Munday and Charles Cosby. And if he knows anything about the John delorean scandal that supposedly Max mermelstien was involved in. Thanks for the good videos
The thing I walked away with from this podcast the most is ace duce will bust you loose

Perfect comment to respond to all the idiots that were satisfied w 6 episodes. Such a complex, bat shit crazy life that deserves at LEAST 2 seasons.
100% 💯💯

He’s seen a lot there’s no telling what all he keeps inside. Hope he can find some peace with everything he’s been through. Respect.

I like how he pronounces words in Spanish.I enjoyed this entire series,good to see Michael looking great and telling how it really was .

NEVER WATCHED NO NETFLIX OR DOC ONLY READ THE BOOK...MICHAEL CORLEONE BLANCO...MUCH RESPECT...SHOWS MAD GROWTH...RESPECT YO FR ❣️😎
So happy they created a TH-cam channel man listen if the masses truly knew how iconic this era was!
This is some of the best material I've ever seen. U can see the depth of pain and honesty. Great stuff

It good to see him come here and set things straight. Most will see that Netflix ish and take it as all fact when obviously they were wrong. Much Respect 🙏
I believe Michael knows who killed his mother. And it was a long awaited payback for something that she did.
Sorry bout your hermano Michael that’s Hella sad bro keep your head up G keep doing the right thing in his honor
Crime never pays...
Just watched all 5 episodes- can’t wait for episode 6

@@XRPChris My mother was attacked. They attempted to throw a chemical in her face. She turned her head just in time and the suspects took off running.
Michael should talk to 50 Cents or Rakontur should do a real time series like BMF
Yesssss
Facts 😊
Yaaassss!!!! That would be amazing.
Fr that would be dope asf
No.....
These interviews have been amazing, great work and story telling.
Thank you Netflix. I would have never saw this. This is so good. It’s better than the show.❤
Friggin’ fascinating stuff, especially for those of us who were there at the time and experienced the madness.
Just ordered the book. I'll be watching until it delivers and then devour it. Thank you Michael. God bless. ❤🙏🏽
Damn this guy has lot of sorrow and a lot of guilt. Much respect to him for coming out
Nice work Michael Corleone Blanco and Billy Corben (rakontur).
Thank you for telling us your story man. It takes a lot, thank you.
This is a great interview....hearing the information from someone who knows the whole story....truthfully.
Shouldn't have been a limited series, so dumb her life was extensive over a long period. The coulda made a 10 season show out of it honestly 🤦🏽♂️
Atleast 3
That's the netflix way, 2 seasons to tell Pablo's life....badly 🙄

Damn michael. Im sorry how this has affected ur life, ur a great dude
Ironic that Michael Corleone is the last one standing

Its not ironic. He saw it all.
Yet Lives to tell
If he goes back to Columbia they will kill him.
Not ironic he was 6 😂
Michael, you the Man. Godmother rest in Peace Prayers for you, and the Family.
Papo was a G for saying yes you can defend him cuz when you walk out of court your gonna get real justice
Will Michael ever get a Netflix Series? I hoping for at least 3+ seasons.
Netflix should be knocking his door down or a 50 cent production.
There's got to be a reason why nobody substantial has worked with him. Thus far. We just don't know what that reason is

Why was there only 6 episode instead of really putting the effort compared to Pablo Escobar 🙁
