Amazing show that starts with an engaging intro song that gets me pumped every time I hear it. Great acting, atmosphere, music, everything you would want if they made a Scarface like tv show.

This is a one of the best tv series I have ever watched. I really like that they were able to fit the whole story into 3 seasons of 10 episodes.

I really like that they were able to fit the whole story into 3 seasons of 10 episodes. It makes every episode filled with story up to its brim. There is no episode that would give me the impression that it is just filler and this is especially true about season 3. The show shifts focus and shows new characters with incredible precision and great timing, the whole thing felt coherent even though it shifted its focus on different things and character stories during its story. The combination of fictionalized story and real world events are in perfect balance and I think they support each other really well. It gives a lot lore too because you can read about lot of the things online after you see them happen in the show. But beware doing this may lead to some spoilers! It is really neutral when it comes to showing each side of the story and I think that is one of the best decisions the producers did. It does not make the "bad guys" look like victims it shows that they are real people with personality and some intentions. This is no ordinary crime drama, if you like good looking cinematic crime solving definitely watch Narcos.… Expand

Excellent crime drama and law enforcement procedural taking place in Colombia during the time of Pablo Escobar. Narration in English by one of the DEA agents involved but with most of the dialogue in Spanish among Colombians.

Especially when it comes to seasons 1 and 2. The lead actor Wagner Moura, who portrayed Pablo himself, was absolutely excellent in my opinion. But apart from him, I would also praise the overall cast. The camera work is excellent. Cinematic, interesting. Sometimes switches to real footage in places. Gradually there starts to be a gradation and then it gets pretty damn exciting. Not only is it fun to watch, but it's helped greatly by the fact that it's a series based on a true story, so that adds a lot to the final impression. I could rant on here for a long time about how much Narcos did well, but unfortunately I have to nitpick a little or just mention it. Why? Because it's already without Pablo Escobar, who pulled the whole series for me and he was the one who made me watch the other episodes. But unfortunately, that is no longer the case in the last series and I had to, shall we say, overcome myself and force myself to finish it. Was the last series bad? It wasn't. Not at all. It was downright brilliant, and again I have to take my hat off to the excellently filmed episodes. It's just, was the series entertaining? That's another matter. Personally, while I liked it, I was also not entertained and not tempted to know what would happen next. In short, for me, the last series, although great, was just unnecessary. Overall, though, this is an amazing series that I recommend. Especially to fans of crime and mostly Escobar.

Season 1 - 9,5/10
Season 2 - 10/10
Season 3 - 8,5/10… Expand

Very well written and violent potrayl of the drug trade in columbia. Great writing and links to real life events make it very engaging. The series starts strong and never lets up.

No vi la tercera temporada pero me parece que no es necesario. Se me hizo bastante genérica la verdad, la sobrevaloran bastante.

I enjoyed the story and the ties back to the true story. Good show but be prepared for violence, drugs, and sex. Probably not good for the kiddos!

Intense drama filled and drained series that manages to capture anyone's attention who happens to walk past while you're watching. Shows the rise and fall of a drug kingpin and the vulnerability, that everyone has in the world of the cartel.
