    Am I the only one to say this was awful? Acting was subpar, accents were annoying, contorting the facts to fit the storyline and did anyone else notice that they aren't even driving cars from that era? I mean Steve Murphy is playing with a bottle of squeezable mustard in 1989, BS. Sure they filmed in Colombia but they barley used any actual Colombians or accents.

But most of all, the most fascinating part of the story is missing, The C.I.A not only knew but also helped in Pablo's rise to power, but instead let's contort the truth to make a Colombian soap opera. The sad part is its hard to mess up such a great story, but Netflix did.… Expand

    This series is a cheap copy of a Colombian series called "El Patrón del mal". Narcos story line is so compressed that it became bad american action action non-stop action style.....booooooring....to add insult to injury Pablo speaks with a Brazilian accent, maybe in season 2 they can have an US embassador with a Russian accent, what a joke!

    The show could do better with its shallow portrayal of its female characters, but fans of mob dramas should otherwise find everything they want. The narrative picks up its pace as the season progresses into a final run of episodes that feature the most suspenseful sequences Narcos has ever had.

    Moura as Escobar doesn’t bring the overall manic and sometimes comic intensity of Al Pacino’s Tony Montana in Scarface. He’s never dull, though, giving Narcos a thoroughly sinister presence who’s capable of anything and will stop at nothing.

    Intense, enlightening, brilliant, unnerving, and addictive, Narcos is high-concept drama at its finest.
