Surviving Escobar - Alias JJ (Season 1)

Surviving Escobar — Alias JJ (Alias JJ, 2017) is a Colombian crime series you can watch online on iFILM. It follows John Jairo Velásquez, nicknamed JJ, the Medellín Cartel's top hit man and the gun Pablo Escobar reached for when a job had to be ugly.

With Escobar dead and the cartel falling apart, JJ's war moves off the streets and behind bars. Prison runs on its own rules. There is a pecking order to climb, old scores waiting to be settled, and plenty of men eager to kill the one person who knows where every body is buried. To make it through each night, the former assassin has to earn respect from the same world he used to terrorize. Juan Pablo Urrego carries the lead, a man his own past will not let go.

Made by a Colombian-American team and drawn from the real story behind one of the era's most notorious enforcers, the show looks at the cartel years from the bottom up — the trigger man's view, not the kingpin's, and without the glamour these stories usually get. It's a sharp companion piece for anyone who finished Narcos and wants the same decade from a different angle. Stream every episode of Surviving Escobar (2017) online on iFILM.
