This show is a waste of time. Each episode spends 1/4 of the time reviewing the previous episode. Each time you come back from commercial break, you review what you just watched before the break. There is literally zero substance to this show. Oh, and spoiler alert....they don't find a single thing.

Total waste of time. Fourteen years after Escobar's death, a few "expert" Americans decide to explore Colombia and interview family members and ex-associates in an effort to discover possible hidden cash! A similar programme to "Hunting Hitler". Dramatic background music and significance given to mundane situations. An empty safe in an old apartment and metal readings on his sister's farm - mind boggling, especially when the geologist flown in especially with her top of the range sonar equipment stepped into a septic tank - didn't see that coming!!

Total waste of time, rip-off. Who cares about interviews with brainless people who knew Pablo Escobar? This series teases viewers by promising new information that it doesn't deliver. That's sleazy.
