The series opener focused on Griselda Blanco (aka La Madrina), the godmother of cocaine and brutal drug lord who crushed anyone who stood in her way. As the ultimate black widow, she built a narcotics empire in the city of Miami and ignited the cocaine cowboy drug wars. Before Pablo Escobar and before El Chapo, there was Griselda Blanco.

The second episode begins in 1978, when a string of mail bombings terrorized the country and left 23 people injured and three people dead. Investigators chased down hundreds of leads but for years the bomber's identity remained a mystery. He was known to the public only as the "Unabomber" until a particular turn of phrase led authorities and introduced the world to Ted Kaczynski.
