El Señor De Los Cielos Season 1 Episode 1

First Impressions: *El Señor de los Cielos* Episode 1 - Did It Hook Me?

Okay, people, let's talk about the pilot episode of *El Señor de los Cielos*. We're diving headfirst into the world of Aurelio Casillas. My verdict? It was...interesting.

The show throws you right into the thick of things. Cocaine, cartels, and questionable morals galore. It’s like they said, “Hold my cerveza, we're going in!”

Aurelio: Charming or Just Plain Bad?

Now, Aurelio Casillas is supposed to be this charismatic, irresistible kingpin. I'm not entirely convinced. Maybe it's the early 2010s fashion, but something feels off.

Everyone swoons over him. The women, the men (sometimes). I get that he's powerful. But his charm? Still searching for it, honestly.

The Plot Thickens (or Just Convolutes)

The first episode lays the groundwork. We meet the families, the rivals, and the DEA agents breathing down everyone's neck. There's a lot going on.

Honestly, half the time I was trying to figure out who was related to whom. Or who was sleeping with whom. It’s a soap opera with guns.

Unpopular Opinion Alert!

Here it comes: I wasn’t immediately blown away. I know, I know. Blasphemy! Everyone raves about this show. But the first episode felt...a little clunky.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some great moments. The action scenes are decent. And the potential for drama is definitely there. But it took a while to truly grab me.

The Fashion Choices: A Blast from the Past (or a Crime Against Humanity?)

Let's be real, the fashion is…dated. Think shiny shirts, questionable hairstyles, and enough gold jewelry to sink a small ship. It's peak early 2010s drug lord chic.

I’m not saying I expected high fashion. But a little less shine wouldn't have hurt. Maybe that’s just me.

Did I Keep Watching? (Spoiler: Yes)

Despite my reservations, I kept watching. Why? Because I'm a sucker for a good crime drama. And because I needed to know if Aurelio Casillas would eventually win me over.

The show has a certain pull. Even when it's cheesy, it’s compelling. Like a car crash you can't look away from.

Final Thoughts: A Slow Burn Worth Sticking With?

So, *El Señor de los Cielos* Season 1 Episode 1 wasn't an instant classic for me. But it definitely planted the seed. It gave me just enough intrigue to want more.

If you're looking for a show with explosive action, complex characters, and questionable morals, give it a shot. Just be prepared for some early 2010s fashion faux pas.

And maybe keep a notepad handy to track all the family relationships. You'll thank me later.

Trust me, it gets complicated.

Ultimately, the strength of *El Señor de los Cielos* lies in its commitment to its over-the-top narrative, even in the beginning. Aurelio's ambition is palpable from the start, and that’s what kept me watching.
