Anyone seen this?
Just finished watching, and loved it, now having moved on to the book 'Killing Pablo' to learn more of Escobar's life
Rate it up there with BB & Sopranos
10 episodes, and currently on Netflix so a good weekend binge

Watched it all over the space of 2 nights when it was first released a few weeks back - and loved it! Definitely one of the best new releases in the last 18 months.

Very good series, well worth a watch.

Second series was equally brilliant - and a possible teaser at the end suggesting that there could a new story centred around the Cali cartel?

Watched the first series in one go. Enjoyed it but despite the gritty scenes really downplayed the economic issues in Colombia and the negative impact of American involvement there.

Turns out I was right - 3rd season is about to start - and is about the Cali Cartel; hopefully it maintains the same high quality, without the central figure of Escobar to centre the story.

And now we are off to Mexico.

Indeed - it's really high quality stuff; worth using as a jumping off point to read more widely about the broader issues, particularly the decades of interference and manipulation by the US.

I don't binge - but I've been tempted to by every season of Narcos; it's excellent.

It's beautiful , this's the way TV-series should be directed and produced, i loved the fast pace of the series from the first minute till now i haven't skipped anything or felt bored.
