The new Netflix series 'Griselda,' starring Sofia Vergara as the notorious drug lord Griselda Blanco, has sparked significant attention and discussion. The show, which delves into the life of the infamous 'Cocaine Godmother,' has been met with a mix of reactions, including an awkward on-air clash between Vergara and Kelly Clarkson that went viral. Vergara, seeking more credit for her role, expressed frustration with Clarkson's comments on her transformation for the part, exclaiming 'Are you crazy?' The series has also faced legal challenges, with Blanco's son suing to block the premiere and criticizing Vergara for making his mother 'ugly' in the series. Despite this, the show has been well-received, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 86%, and praise for Vergara's performance and her dramatic transformation, which was described as crafting a 'monster' to embody Blanco. The series is a departure from Vergara's previous comedic roles and marks a career reinvention for her, crafted with the 'Narcos' team. Executive producer Eric Newman, who had similar legal experiences with Pablo Escobar's children during the production of 'Narcos,' has responded to the lawsuit. Additionally, the show has sparked conversations about women working in male-dominated fields, as it portrays Blanco's rise in the criminal underworld.
