Drug Lords

The characters portrayed probably had a life full of interesting details, but that seems to be wasted and this series rarely gets you enthusiastic. It's not that those guys should be glamorized or that the series should take a sensationalist approach, but some greater detail would do well. Episodes are long but lack information density. Those simulation scenes could have been more well performed, especially with better actors. Or they could just have not been made at all, or even be replaced by cartoon. It's interesting - even indispensable - to interview those who were directly involved in the events portrayed (the cops and the gangsters), but it would be very nice to also hear some of the people who were indirectly affected by their actions and also some experts. This series can be entertaining, but it leaves you with the feeling that something much better could have been done with its subject matter.

Interesting documenty to view if you have watched narcos, or if you have watched this watch narcos.

Sad thing no Angel Félix who within 3 series you thought Netflix would have hit upon by now if only to push Narcos Mexico

Anyway from The Gentleman of to the thugish queen of crack, Pablo to El Chapo this is informed if sometimes over inflated egos who speak for themselves.

Worth a watch

Doesn't show truth at all.

DEA supported cartels in Mexico and Columbia then blame the cartels for the huge addiction in US. The documentary is too biased and barely resembles truth or facts.

Just what we need, another docudrama about the world's Drug Lords. Still, I thought that perhaps with the overwhelmingly large recent canon of the Medellin Cartel syndicate contributions like: Alias J.J., Narco's, El Chapo, Escobar, and Loving Pablo, a series to hit on the other key players may be striking while the iron is hot; but to my dismay, it's just a tired underwhelming attempt to copy what's already been done time and again. My advice is to read the book written by hitman Jairo Velásquez as well as Chasing Pablo by Marquez and don't waste your time on this drivel.

Might have some good info but whatever this show is trying to convey is lost through the very distracting and unending Inception music... every word that is uttered is met with annoying overdramatic loud music
