6/10
More annoying than riveting
3 October 2022
Entertaining show. But never riveting or really exciting as were the Narcos namesakes.

The most jarring thing about this series is the fact that it is called Suriname, but denies the country. The landscape, actors, seaside, cities, villa, roads, signs, language: it is all about as Surinamese as Kamchatka or Lisbon. Absolutely has no feel for the country. The most ridiculous thing is when Surinamese fighter jets fly by, for a country without a fixed wing Air Force.

In addition, the show makes Suriname look worse than it is for crime and drugs.

The acting is good, although the non-Korean actors are not believable as Surinamese at all.

I liked the production value and the story arc.
