Descenso

What an amazing peace of television this opening episode to Netflix original Narcos show based on the life of Pablo Escobar give us as a near perfect 50 minutes shot in a revolutionary way!

Netflix and the director team has really outdone themselves with this tv-pilot.

The actors also seems so fantastic in each of their respective roles helping this show flying high from the start. Last of all i also have to really credit the very interesting way of filming which the creators chose, a style of filming which really is pleasing to watch and is just in general genius to use in such a setting which this show takes place in.

Greetings from Lithuania.

The opening episode of "Narcos" named "Descenso" is just a great TV all around. Captivating script and bigger then life true story, great acting, solid directing and excellent pacing - its all here. Cinematography was also very good, but you can't ask anything else (and expect it) from a pilot - the first episode that has to hook viewers - and it delivers fully. After more series you kinda can see the series quality better, but at the moment after first episode i can say - i'm in for a ride.

Overall, the opening episode of "Narcos" isn't a masterpiece nor it tells a really fresh story, because if you watch a lot of movies and TV shows you have seen it before, but who cares if it is done so good. Great opening episode.

I enjoyed the first episode. It have some interesting moments and events. We can see the relationship between narcos and the police and with the dealer. Pretty interesting TV Show with a great moment at the end when Escobar pay for a service. I enjoyed also to see the whole business behind it and how it work. We have also some historical context: with a mention to Reagan. And some real facts about Escobar. This first episode was pretty good and it have interesting moments but i need to see more to have a complete opinion.

What a great pilot! I just started watching this show out of curiosity because the reviews here on IMDB are great and they are not wrong this has to be one of the best original pilots on Netflix. If the rest of the show is like this I'll easily give it a 9.
