Narcos tells the story of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, his allies and the men that hunt them down. So you get to see the events from the pov of both the good and bad guys.
Personally I'm too young to have followed the events live so while the series is mostly based on real events it still feels almost fictional just due to how insane some of the stuff thats going on is.
This is quite easily my favourite of recent shows.
+ Show Spoiler +I actually found Pablo likeable early on till he ended up becoming nothing short of a monster.

I'm on the 8th episode and found this to be very good so far. All the actors have been amazing throughout the series.
For anyone looking for reviews do not look on IMDB, the comments there are so cringe-worthy it's pathetic.
|
Only on episode 4 and am wonder is there not ONE average looking woman in Colombia?

This show seems to go quite unnoticed which is a shame because it's really good. Just finished the season. Have to say the acting is pretty good and i enjoy the 80's / vintage way in which it was filmed.

Surprised there isn't any more discussion around the show in TL.
Season 2 was fantastic, if you ask me.

This. The show is very good. I love the pace of the episodes.
|
I'm pretty hyped for season 3.
|
This TV Series was a great show and it's very popular at least in Portugal.
We are talking about mass murderes and we end up feeling something for them..
Even tho it has many mistakes it doesn't fail to implicate CIA and the USA in this..
Awesome show

heard good things about this show, considering to start watching it.
|
I just started. It's addicting to watch. I don't even mind the sub-titles.
|
really, 10 replies?
i just finished ep2 its solid
watch ep1 its like watching a mafia movie
edit: longcat!
edit: i can't believe.... + Show Spoiler +there is more than 1 season... i watched the whole season 1 it thinking it was a 10 episode self contained story :| wtf
|
i just finished, this is like best show of the year easily
only thing i don't like about it is (spoilers) + Show Spoiler +how it loses a lot of dramatic impact by trying to prep us for the next season instead of letting us wallow on the closure of what just happened
what should i watch now lol? there's that godfather/mafia series from ages ago isn't there
|
This is definitely one of the best shows from recent years. I was expecting this to be a one season thing initially but they managed to keep the tension going for season 2 pretty well, I'm about half way into s2.

I personally haven't seen it yet but there's this recent movie called Sicario which looks quite good and shares some themes with Narcos. Also I assume you (everyone) have seen Scarface.
|
Have you guys seens Breaking Bad ? :D
|
ya ive seen sicario thanks
oh its called The Sporanos http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0141842/ i watched a bit "back then" but i was probably couldn't follow it, i might try it again
yes we (as in everyone on earth) have seen breaking bad haha :D
|
Sopranos is like the best show ever, really slow burn though at times. Didn't watch Narcos yet but i wanna start soon, interesting topic for sure
|
Season 3 is up in case people missed it
|
2 eps into the third season. It's goin fucking fantastic
|
Narcos is one of those rarest shows that learns from its errors and fixes them. As opposed to something like House of Cards which feels like it constantly has to push the pace and make things bigger and more intense until the whole thing is jumping the shark, Narcos can slow the pace and build the tension in a different direction.
My one criticism is that Pedro Pascale speaks in season 3 like he's forgetting how to speak Spanish. He's switching languages in the middle of conversations with other native Spanish speakers. I wonder if it's because he's received too much criticism for not having the right accent.
