Plot Synopsis and Comparison to Other Prison Dramas
According to an expanded synopsis provided by TTV, the series follows Gladys Guerra and other inmates with no prison experience as they are attacked while being transported to La Quebrada prison. The prisoners find themselves abandoned to their fate as their vehicle sinks, but Gladys manages to free herself and the others, leading them to safety covered in mud. United by adversity, this group of women must navigate the challenges posed by the prison regime and the various "tribes" that manage daily life within La Quebrada.
Fans of high-stakes female prison dramas such as Wentworth, The Yard, and Orange is the New Black may find "En el Barro" to be a compelling addition to their watchlist. The series promises to explore the personal histories and strengths of each character as they band together to form a new gang known as "Las Embarradas."
