Figured the show deserved it's own thread considering the majority of the last 2 pages of the Netflix thread is Narcos content.

I finished season 1 last night and think it's been really well made and entertaining so far.

Murphy is getting badass in the last couple episodes. Curious to see how much trouble he gets himself in and how his marriage is effected.

Escobar seems to be losing his shit.. I expect the violence level to be turned up come season 2!

Netflix hasn't committed to a second season but they'd pretty stupid not to do it considering the positive response from fans and critics alike.

[R. Mutt]

Yea I ran through the first season in a couple days, really enjoy it as well. I love that it keeps things character driven without deviating too far from the actual events. I'm hoping that if the series continues that later season dive into the Cartel's history back in Miami, New York and California post Pablo. IE Cocaine Cowboys 1+2 with people like Griselda Blanco and so forth.

[Nabatron]

finshed 3 episodes pretty killer show!

[jonwon]

I thought Narcos could last longer as a show if it were an anthology series chronicling the rise and fall of notorious drug kingpins (different cast each season). I'm not sure how many seasons they can drag on with only Escobar.

[spoon.ek9]

I was waiting for a thread to pop up. After only the first episode, I knew I was hooked!

[Noir]

Surprisingly I binged through it faster than I did HoC

[blkgsr]

gtreat show. about 5 episodes in. like the fact they kept the narco's etc speaking spanish

[mb_]

Just finished the season. MOAR!

[knight604]

Someone told me about this 2 days ago ... already on 9th episode so a good series

[StylinRed]

I felt they were moving way too fast through actual events in 1 season, they could probably drag out 1 more season with Pablo, but as mentioned, hopefully they turn it into a series about the other crime lords during & post pablo

[Vansterdam]

if your a fan of the show this book is def worth checking out.

[PHATFLIP_14]

Almost finished season 1. First couple of episodes in, I was hooked already. Great show.

[Ch28]

Binge watched the first 5 episodes last night. The guy playing Pablo does such a good job!

[tomatogunk]

Just finished the series and wanted more so I found this documentary, Sins of My Father, from the perspective of his son

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQaZX8baIjI

[StylinRed]

yah thats a good one

there's also that one with benicio del toro, Escobar: Paradise Lost (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2515030/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_8) but it's not really about Escobar it's about a character that may or may not be real (director/writer heard about it through an officer)

there's another film titled Escobar (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4682788/?ref_=nv_sr_4) coming out next year with Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, it takes the perspective of that female reporter that had the affair with Eescobar

[quasi]

Thanks for recommending, I watched the first 7 episodes yesterday hope to finish it up tonight.

Dont think Cruz is 'street' enough to play Virginia Vallejo aka Valeria.

[StylinRed]

Dont think Cruz is 'street' enough to play Virginia Vallejo aka Valeria.

virginia doesnt look street either, but i think Paz Vega would have been a better choice

[scottsman]

great show but things moving too fast. Too much was covered in the first season that given its only about Escobar it could probably only go 1 more.

[Manic!]

Great show and looks like Netflix is planing season 2.

[iHeat]

finish the season like 1 week ago and now netflix is advertising the show all over youtube ads

[Gucci Mane]

great show but things moving too fast. Too much was covered in the first season that given its only about Escobar it could probably only go 1 more.

thats what i was thinking. how the hell are they going to take it any further? at the end of season one hes already escaped jail and hiding out. after that happened he was alive for only about 6 months or so till he was found and killed.

[Hondaracer]

Fuckkk dat ending, was expecting g another episode not recommend me a new series! Lol

If anyone is interested more in Escobar, check out the ESPN 20 for 20 documentary "the two escobars" probably one of the better doc's of the last 20 years, it's excellent

[dat_steve]

blew through this in a few days. damn this show was good. i suppose s2 will detail his escape/death for the first half and the follow up for the second half.

have to say i picked up a bit of spanish just watching this show lol

can someone clarify: in the second to last ep where Pablo kills the two men in the prison, did they end up eating the bodies??? it made it seem like it when the guy said "don't waste the meat"...

I'm pretty sure the guy says something along the lines of "I'm doing this to hide the smell" meaning that they were trying to hide the smell of burning flesh with an actual bbq of their own.

[dat_steve]

yeah i thought so too. i was just really confused because in that context i guess eating them would make sense too lol (less evidence), but it would have been weird to take the story in that direction all of a sudden.

[jeedee]

im already 7 episodes in but i still don't see what the hype for this show is honestly....... :smug:

[dat_steve]

Glad to see Oberyn Martell in this show kicking ass once again :awwyeah:

[gilly]

Binge watched it this weekend. Amazing show. I do agree with people saying that the story moved quite fast since they just renewed season 2.

Also, I read a few articles about the show and apparently the real life DEA agent Murphy havn't met his partner Pena until later on in the Narcos show.

"I was only in Colombia about three days when Escobar surrendered to his custom built prison," Murphy told the Observer.

In the show, that happens in Episode 9 (out of 10), with Murphy coming to Colombia in the first episode.

[XplicitLuder]

finally started watching this yesterday lol just finishing up episode 8, which is probably the best one for me so far... cant wait for more!

[HonestTea]

What a great show! Can't wait for season 2!

Judging by how fast the show was going, I thought they were gonna end it by EP10

[tomatogunk]

SEASON 2 SEPT 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7q6tIlb82w

[ziggyx]

Nice they released all 10 episodes! Time to binge watch it :sweetjesus:

[6o4__boi]

[Armind]

:fuckyea:

[koukimonst3r]

Watched the 1st episode already, watching the next 9 after work :joy:

[Sir_Loin]

Just finished binge watching season 2.

Season 3? Javi Pena going after the Cali Cartel. Hopefully Murph is still around but unlikely wife already went back home to the States. I liked the buddy buddy dynamic between Javi and Murph.

[StylinRed]

Up to episode 6 woooooooooot

[Gucci Mane]

was up till 5am this morning binge watching. fuck this show is so good. so glad that the story is left open for a 3rd season.

[XplicitLuder]

Spoiler alert don't hit the spoiler if u don't wanna know

so sad when general carrillo died! That man was a legend in my eyes LOL

Apart from that, just finished the last episode. Great season again I really hope they continue from the way it ended

[StylinRed]

Finished it this morning, it was great!!

Looking forward to season3 but I dunno if it can hold up to the first two seasons

[tiger_handheld]

don't click if have not finished S2 E10.

was anyone else a tad sad when Patron died? he grew on me a little, especially with the farm scene. RIP Patron

[Sir_Loin]

don't click if have not finished S2 E10.

Nah he was directly responsible for 1000s of murders, airplane bombing, city bombing etc. That farm scene was going good for sympathy then did pig's blood scene metaphor/foreshadowing of his death. I felt bad Javi wasn't there to get Pablo.

[Gucci Mane]

don't click if have not finished S2 E10.

spoiler so dont click.

have you not ever read up on the story of pablo escobar? its fucking easy to know that he dies if you've even read up the slightest about him. but in the end, ya i was a little sad. i dont care if he really did kill thousands of people. the man in himself was still dope. i'm just glad this show is going to continue on for the foreseeable future.

[Nlkko]

He is dope? FailFish A fucking lunatic that believes all his murders are just. Brainwashed his wife and mother, put his kids in danger times and times again because of his ego. Surrounded himself with a bunch of sick fucks. It's easy to see why the Cali cartel was successful. Watch his scene with Gustavo you will understand.

Re-watched last episode 3 times because so fucking satisfying.

[LC21]

Couldnt leave my bed yesterday binge watching this...

[SpartanAir]

Still making my way through it...but Martina Garcia aka 'Maritza'... :megusta:

don't click - spoiler

i've read about him and know he dies in prison. i mean you look at him, yes he's a murderer but the man also built schools and churches for the poor. then you look at cali cartel, doesn't seem like they did any of that shit.

[Nlkko]

^He died exactly how it showed in the series. Dude just didn't know when to give up. Lunatic and all.

[Sir_Loin]

Cali Cartel is how you're suppose to operate out of the spotlight, get all attention away from you and operate within the shadows. Pablo fucked up by running for congressman, start of the downhill.

nah bro he got shot on a rooftop. check out the book killing pablo

[dat_steve]

I was more sad when Limon got shot. that guy was loyal to the end. i wish Pablo left him on the farm with his dad lol

[gilly]

What an amazing season.

I am not sure why Virginia Vallejo (the female reporter, Pablo's affair) was killed on the show. She is still alive in real life and she even wrote books about her relationship with Escobar in 2007.

[dat_steve]

The show made it feel like Pablo sold drugs not just for financial gain, but for the resources to garner influence and respect/fear. The Cali Cartel is/was all about the money.

[alwayslive]

Anyone wonder what happened to La Quica? Guy talked so much but ended up being a huge bitch lol.

Anyways, loved this season. I wonder how S3 is going to be without Escobar.

[Nlkko]

War on Drugs is not all about Escobar, they could milk a few seasons if the audience is there. They could move to another location/ continent, like the Gold Triangle in SE Asia. Or continue with the Cali Cartel.

Also keep in mind, the show is mixed fiction so there are characters that don't exist in real life, and some get killed off even thought they live.

[IMASA]

What an amazing season.

From what I read, the reporter is a fictional character, Valeria Velez, who is inspired by Virginia Vallejo. Also there was never a Judy Moncada.



Would be nice if they did included the stuff that went down in Miami and NYC in future episodes. Would be cool if they did a season on Griselda Blanco.

[StylinRed]

2 more seasons signed off on

Narcos renewed for two more seasons | EW.com (http://www.ew.com/article/2016/09/06/narcos-season-3-4)

[dat_steve]

i hope they pull it off. the cali cartel guys weren't particularly interesting to me because they seemed very one dimensioned, typical drug lord types.

[PiuYi]

totally sympathised with Escobar, he started off as Robin Hood building schools and helping the poor... but that amount of money/popularity/power would get to any man's head

the really fucked up thing I thought was the police and Steve Murphy posing for pictures with Escobar's corpse. They weren't arresting a criminal anymore, this was a prized buck and everybody wanted a picture with it.... who's the monster here?

[neggo]

Even savages have families and have the ability to love - they are humans, like us, after all. And because they are human, they are capable of doing good, but are also capable of doing evil. The show does really well in making viewers question the traditional spectrum of right and wrong, especially in parts where we see Pablo doing very human things, like being a husband, father, and provider. What potentially can freak people out is the fact that, while Pablo was an extreme mass murderer, there were times he was also a very sympathetic and relatable figure. His longing for a home and his family, for example, were all emotions that viewers could easily relate to. His time at his father's farm, as well, showed a very human vulnerability that completely shed his aura of invincibility. Pablo's death was undoubtedly deserved. But you can't help but think at the end of it all that, "damn, Pablo was human too".

[Manic!]

Pablo was a piece of shit and he and his family deserved no mercy. He also cared more about himself then his family.

[6o4__boi]

finally finished it

felt like the whole season dragged on because pretty much everyone who was watching knew the end game...i still think the first season covered so much so fast, left the 2nd season a little longer than it should have been

While i think it's a bit messed up re posing with Pablo's corpse, you have to understand the context of it. This was a legendary guy, who at his empire's height essentially owned Medellin. Committed assassinations, terrorism, while seemingly able to slip away when it seemed like the roof was going to cave in on him. To the guys posing, it IS like taking down that legendary buck that no one could catch. These guys put in blood, sweat and tears, lost friends in the line of duty and/or family in the shit storm that Pablo created. So I'd be hard-pressed to call em monsters. Hell, I'd do bunny ears around that motherfucker's bloodied head if I was one of those guys who's put in the work in catching him.

[RRxtar]

To them catching Pablo was like taking Sadam or Moammar Gadhafi. or the allies taking Berlin. we cant relate to it.
