Critics Have Seen 'Griselda,' And They Can’t Stop Talking About Sofia Vergara’s Performance In The Netflix Crime Series

Griselda Blanco was a notorious drug queen-pin in Miami in the 1970s who is believed to have made billions of dollars importing and distributing cocaine and allegedly murdering hundreds of people before being gunned down herself at the age of 69. "America’s Got Talent" judge Sofia Vergara is the so-called “Cocaine Godmother” in the crime series "Griselda,"

This role is a far cry from "Modern Family’s" Gloria Delgado-Pritchett — the role Sofia Vergara is best known for — however, critics who were able to screen the six-episode miniseries ahead of its release seem to be impressed with the actress’ transformation. Let’s take a look at what they’re saying, starting with GamesRadar’s Megan Garside. The critic gives the series 3.5 stars out of 5, saying it lacks grit but is full of emotion, and Vergara gives a career performance.
