Narcos: Messico

Engaging and at times thought provoking amid all the gunfire. I loved the look and feel of the series, the trashy culture and over the top lifestyles. I appreciated the artful use of swearing and the intro montage - a clever trail of cocaine powder on a map outlining the path of cocaine through Mexico. The music is inspired--including the insipid pop songs that accompanies some of the mayhem. You gotta love the track suits that some of the drug lords sport. The acting is top-notch and the grainy footage reminds us the story is vaguely based on real events.

As far as the show goes it's fantastic but what really stood out in my opinion was the performance of Joaquín Cosío as "Don Neto" I believe this is one of the best supporting performances in any Netflix series to date! The arc that he goes through and the performance that he turns in cannot be ignored. He is a very talented actor and displays this in every scene he's in! He is the most believeable character in the show shining brightly over an already brilliant cast of actors.

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.

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)!

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
