    This season should have been 7-8 episodes instead of the full 10. There was a lot of filler this season and very little of it was actually interesting. The DEA characters took a huge step back and the Narcos characters take a step up and it just isn't the same. The first season was so good but you cared about all the characters. There was a good mix of both and both sides of the story wereThis season should have been 7-8 episodes instead of the full 10.

    Having such a heavy focus on just one side made the other very boring and it just wasn't the same show imo. They definitely suffered with the weak and uninteresting sub plots as well, Especially with Search Bloc.    … Expand

    The second season of Narcos, Netflix’s historical drama about drug lord Pablo Escobar and the law enforcement officers who worked to bring him down, is a marked improvement over the first.

    What works in the early going of season two is that the fall is almost always more thrilling, if not engaging, than the buildup. Escobar senses the loss of power and Moura does some of his best work as viewers read the worry and interior thinking on his face.

    The show has figured out how to balance its ostensible heroes. The buddy cop energy between Peña and Murphy was one of Season 2’s most enjoyable side dishes--enough to make one hope for more.
