It's also bittersweet for me watching Narcos: those people brought us so much pain and problems in Venezuela and Colombia that it kind of pisses me off that aura of cool they would sometimes like to give to guys like Escobar Gaviria. But yes, definitely worth it.

Mexico's Miguel Felix Gallardo wasn't nicknamed El Padrino (The Godfather) for no reason. A former cop, he quickly rose to be the most powerful drug lord in the country. This happened in the 80s while Pablo Escobar was also making his mark. Whereas Pablo kept bringing unnecessary attention to himself, Felix did things more stealthily. Like a self-m...
A story is only as good as the medium used to tell it. And in film, a historical figure is only as good as the actor who portrays them. Brazilian actor Wagner Moura did a tremendous job of portraying Pablo Escobar in the first two seasons of Narcos. Some people have even argued that Moura even appears more intimidating as Escobar than the real Esco...

Narcos is as bloody as Tarantino would like it. Drug dealers are known for their violence and we love watching them dish it out. Narcosclearly took blood and gore to a whole new level. Bombing a commercial plane full of passengers in order to kill one person? Assassinating a presidential candidate? All of it was done. Pablo's henchmen were always r...

A villain is nothing without perfect henchman. There's always something fascinating about a man who has loyal people under his wing, ready to execute his orders without questioning anything. Both Pablo and the Cali Cartel had some of the most memorable henchmen on TV. Juan Matta Bastelleros, also known as Blackie did most of the dirty work for Pabl...
Narcos: Mexicoportrays the drug trade as a proper business, not just the violent criminal world that Pablo made it look like. There's a financial reason backing every decision Felix makes.

In as much as Pablo was a remorseless gangster, his love for his family could never be put to doubt. His adoration for his mother Hemilda was limitless and so was his love for his wife Tata. Seeing him moving around with his family while escaping the federal authorities showed us that even gangsters have weak spots. There's a scene where he even bu...

It also follows other drug cartels throughout the years and how they do business. It's about real life events which they execute almost perfectly.
