A second-rate docu-drama.
The first season had its moments, but 30 for 30: The Two Escobars is still a better watch; and at 1/10 the length, a better time investment.
A couple of things I really dig about the show. The show was at its strongest when it focused on the actual events, as they happened. Anytime a scene began with real footage from that period, I payed close attention because I knew the story was back on track. I also enjoyed getting a look at some of the back channel strategies and power plays.
The need to shoehorn in a bunch of flimsy storylines--all seemingly revolving around either the bullshyt psychoanalysis of Pablo, or some tough boss ass female character--into this season sort of ruined the show.
Also the need for these random moments of moral winks didn't work for me either. Present the material, tell the story, I'll decide what is moral and immoral, just and unjust. I'm an adult, I can do that. Sometimes the show did a good job of that, sometimes it didn't.
I'm interested in what some of you guys enjoy about the show though.
