A few weeks ago, Sofía Vergara sat down at the Netflix FYSEE space to reflect on her journey bringing Griselda to the screen. The limited series is a fictionalized dramatization inspired by the life of the savvy and ambitious Griselda Blanco (Vergara), who created one of the most powerful cartels in history. Set in 1970s-80s Miami, Blanco’s lethal blend of unsuspected savagery and charm helps her expertly navigate between business and family, leading her to become widely known as “the Godmother."

Vergara (who also executive produced the series) gives a performance that is dark and powerful, yet still vulnerable – resulting in a captivating viewing experience. To check out a full version of this conversation, visit Netflix’s official FYSEE TV website.
