Online Series: Narcos

[chicagoskycam]

Finished yesterday as well. Very well done. I was not familiar at all with the Cali Cartel's story like Pablo so I didn't know what to expect which helped. Feel like there is a hint of another season focused on the Mexican Cartels. Columbia is such an amazing setting for this show. All of the actors were top notch.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Just finished it. I'd give it 3.5/5.

Never thought I'd say this but.. I miss Escobar.. lol.

And what the hell happened to Steve Murphy? Did I miss anything? Must've retired after Escobar's death.

Whoever plays David Rodriguez is a really good actor. He scares me.

And lets not forget about Maria and Jorge's wife..

Maria... liked her. I was disappointed how she ended up but she had to do what she had to to do I guess.

Finished S3 today.

There were times I was thinking the show's going to hell. But it fought back, and finished just marvelously.

Acting, as per usual, was top notch all around. David and Jorge especially.

EDIT: AND Newman out of ****ing nowhere!!!

 

[Deen]

Looks like El Chapo is next?

Agree. Not exactly sure how I feel about the possible Mexican route. I'm skeptic

Timeline would jump forward a bit. I think they'll do the Gulf Cartel first and then introduce him at the end of S4.

Makes sense, thanks Actually more happy to hear that.

Guzman was in prison during the current Narcos timeline. He didn't escape until 2001. They could show him running the cartel from prison but that's sort of been done already... twice. They introduced Amado Carrillo Fuentes, so I assume they want to show him eventually dying in the hospital in 97, plus the formation of the Zetas would be interesting.

Always had that psycho look in his eyes...

Best theme song in the biz.

The fanny pack deserves an emmy.

 

[Disclose]

just finished it. probably my favorite season.
i guess i would have loved to see a couple of more episodes on how the four "Gentlemen of Cali" died, got sent to jail, but no complains how they explained it. great season.

that Chapo show by itself on Netflix is very good too. (i think its Univision producing it tho). so wondering where theyre taking this.

The fanny pack deserves an emmy.

The most feared fanny pack in Columbia.

At first I thought the two new agents were just going to be bland, cookie cutter type characters who were just there to do the legwork for Pena, but they did a really good job of making them interesting characters.

Also I have to admit I really didn't care about Jorge at first, but his character really grew on me.

Yea, i imagine that's how its going to go.

However Don Berna's cartel and the North Valley cartel were active until a few years ago so I wouldn't be shocked to see them thrown in as part of the storyline.

What he did to Enrique was gut wrenching and sad, but it was kill or be killed and he had to do so to protect his family.

Murphy moved back to Miami to be with his wife - if you remember she left Medellin to go back home.

One of the best shows out there but there were so many plot conveniences it was hard to stay immersed.

 

[vdB]

That was freaking amazing. Tight writing for the most part, and great acting.

Coulda used less Jorge (who was great), and more Pena. Pedro Pascal is becoming one of my favourites.

5 strong villains, what's not to like?

9/10.

 

[Random Forest]

This show has perfectly cast every one of the cartel Dons. Pablo, Gustavo, Pacho, Gilberto, Miguel, and CHEPE have all been outstanding in their roles. Chepe is probably my favorite character in the entire series. That guy should have had his own show.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I would like to own Pacho's wardrobe of shirts

 

[Bjorn Le]

It started off very slow, found myself not being able to pay attention, but by the last 4-5 episodes it got quite amazing. Last two episodes were some of the best of any show in the last few years. Javier Pena wasn't a good lead, and the other DEA agents were forgettable but it was great none the less.

as different than what really happened...?

 

[Seb]

as different than what really happened...?

So many dumb things happened in order to make things more "interesting". The Miguel Rodriguez raid attempt, Jorge being alone in the car at the end, Van Ness being the only one protecting Jorge's wife, the horrible policeman "watching" the restaurant's exit in curacao etc.

 

[XX]

The Miguel Rodriguez raid attempt.

That actually happened, power drill and all.

 

[Seb]

That actually happened, power drill and all.

With the last hammer hit being stopped at the last second?

 

[Spring in Fialta]

A fun series but there's a lot wrong with it. I could do away with Pena's two-dollar voice-over philosophical moment. Cringy and corny.
