KINGPIN the series that aired on NBC in 2000 was way ahead of it's time. I wish they could bring it back and put it on HBO. There's this big cartel movie coming based on the book POWER OF THE DOG.

What is SIN NOMBRE about? I've heard it's good.

Yes!!! Storylines involving Mexican Cartels or folks associated with Mexican Cartels are a big part of the show. I really wish more folks on this forum watched the show & participated in the "Dallas" Official Thread so we could discuss the fukkery.

me and my wife gotta catch up on Dallas man. We loved the first season.

The current season (Season 3) which is currently on mid-season break, has been so good.

Most are hollow and surface level, insulting or embarrassing, 'Savages' was unbelievably bad. If they adapt 'Power Of The Dog' which is a dope, but overreaching Don Winlosw novel, it could be even worse, without the right script and director. It's essentially the story of the John Gotti takeover from Paul Castellano, and the rise of the cartels in Mexico, during their inception, specifically the Arellano Felix, it also goes into Iran contra shyt in Panama and firtehr south, it's way too ambitious, I liked it when I read it though, 6 years ago.

'The Counselor' is the best depiction besides some bad directorial music choices by Ridley Scott, that I've seen in years. Probably since 'Traffic'. Hollywood demonizes them like they did the Russians in the 80's into cartoonish, snarling villains.

I remember Kingpin, TV series from early 2000's. Turns out only six episodes but was pretty dope.

Yeah it was too bad they canceled that show. Couldve been one of the goats.

One of the writers of THE WIRE, DAVID MILLS created Kingpin. If it would've been on HBO it would've been top shelf. We need a real cartel cable TV Series.

 

[FaTaL]

If documentaries count, there's El Sicario, Room 164 which is an interview with a hitman for a cartel, all taking place in a hotel room while dude has his face covered up.

hmmmmmmmmmm
