Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal (2012)
The Colombian drama “Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal” or “Pablo Escobar, The Drug Lord” stars Parra in the title character and Angie Cepeda as Regina Parejo, a fictionalized portrayal of Virginia Vallejo, a longtime mistress of Pablo Escobar. It has a bit of a dramatic overkill, like any other telenovela, but that doesn’t make the show any less interesting. One of Parra’s finest works prior to his international breakthrough with “The Great Heist” is this.

You (2018)
You is a psychological thriller on Netflix that is based on Caroline Kepnes’ 2014 book of the same name. It depicts the tale of serial killer Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), a worker at a New York bookstore, whose love for a woman (Elizabeth Lail) gradually turns crazy. The most unnerving aspect of this show is how typical Joe’s actions appear from his point of view. Even though “You” and “The Great Heist” have very distinct tones, they both address the same issues.
