Narcos: Mexico

I don't like glorifying and justifying crime and narcotics & I'm really glad Netflix showed the big picture.The rise of world's first known drug cartel,The Guadalajara Cartel. I ain't justifying Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo but thinking about something like that, The idea of system like cartel in 1980s is the most underrated thing in modern history and modern Economics with the background of Contra & Civil war. The rise of El jefe de jefes Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo,Rafael Caro Quintero & Don Neto with rise of infamous Guadalajara cartel. It showed basics of founding any empire, it's the entrepreneurship 101. From basic Supply and Demand to Rent,Wages, Interest,Profit to Risk bearing, Decision making, Effect of govt policies on business with the touch of cold war politics & bureaucratic fighting over jurisdiction. It's an economical classic. A classic story of how empire's are built & fallen,how genius ideas are putted into action,how a single wrong decision can destroy systems,how elections are rigged,how departmental politics screws individuals plans and how sometimes nice people becomes collateral damage for Agencies. Diego Luna portrayed Miguel Angel very lively. Perfect Manipulative,poker face, Strong dialogues with strong body language. Diego Luna deserves more appreciation for this role. Many people will compare him to Wagner Moura that's natural but honestly you can't compare Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo with Pablo Escobar. Even though they were in narcotics business there are not appropriate common grounds for comparison. I wish goodluck for 3rd season & I really hope to have Narcos : Afghanistan (no offense)!

I really enjoyed Season 1 and 2. With season 3 it's almost like you're watching some kind of cheap replica and you're wondering if it is actually the same show. Some of the actors are familiar, some of the story seems familiar, but it's just not the same quality as the previous two seasons. The narration is bad, and the episodes in S3 are pretty unwatchable to be honest. It's really a great shame.

First two seasons were great. If you enjoy the genere, just watch them.

In the third one, the narrator's voice is simply out of place. The journalist's storyline to which the voice belongs is also ludicrous and forced - another twenty something year old explaining the injustices of the world.

Nobody needed another one of those.

Very poor choice.

Even though Narcos: Mexico isn't as good as the original Narcos, it's still a pretty good show that's absolutely worth watching! I was skeptical at first because Narcos was so good but I was pleasantly surprised at how well this turned out too. It continues the story about the drug cartels and does such an amazing job at it. It's pretty addicting once you start watching and you get used to the subtitles pretty quick.

If we say that this series is addictive like drugs, we don't say wrong. I'd say it's really compatible with the name of the show. It is very enjoyable to watch such a drug war in Mexico after Colombia. No one from the old cast. We see a new battle with a completely new cast. I think the idea of adapting the same issue to another country is good. After beginning with Pablo Escobar in Colombia, "Narcos" shifted to the Cali cartel, an equally colorful and bloodthirsty bunch. Now we see the Mexican drug lord Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo. Also named as El Padrino, Felix Gallardo is a citizen of El Chapo. Both of them are from Culiacan. Though the episodes are lengthy, it's a absorbing story. Historically we may know the outcome but Narcos: Mexico has an interesting story. Definitely worth watching. 9/10
