Why didn't he just buy his own island like one of those Virgin ones
His downfall was mainly due to his love for Colombia

I watched 2 or 3 episodes, but 
I do NOT like watching shows where most of the dialogue is in spanish without being able to change it to english dubbing.
if it weren't for the narrator, I'd swear this was a foreign tv series.

As a portuguese native-speaker I've been aware of Wagner Moura (dude playing Pablo) since the early 2000's when he was doing novelas. First novela I saw him I just knew he was
as an actor and I was like 13 or something.I didn't follow his career but when I came across Elite Squad 1 & 2 it just became more clear that what I saw at 13 in dude was real as fukk. He's one of the Brazilian GOATs for real. Homie's range is deep, I've seen him play a spoiled brat, a near bum, family man, cop, and now gangster and he just fits.
His accent in this series is pretty bad objectively speaking.
But then you gotta account for the fact that he didn't speak a lick of spanish prior to this role, and the fact that his body language and everything as Pablo is what makes him outstanding.

I mean he speaks portuguese which is close enough (to spanish) but the inflections in spanish and day-to-day words in spanish are different still.
I give it 2.5 stars and that's being generous.
Expected better but knew to temper my expectations considering it was a netflix series. I haven't decided if I'll return next season. Maybe just cuz it's a short season anyways. They tried atleast. I'll give them the effort. Hopefully next season focuses on the dea and other subjects.

Quality first season. I marathoned in two days and am definitely looking forward to the second season. Pedro Pascal and the Gustavo character were my favorite performances. Pablo was played well when he actually talked. When he wasn't talking, which was a lot, I could tell what emotion was being conveyed moreso from the other characters in the scene or just assuming where the scene was headed as opposed to his nonverbal acting ability. I was really happy that they didn't go the lazy route of having the Colombian characters speak English in situations where they wouldn't or couldn't.
My main and only real gripe was the Steve Murphy character. I wasn't looking for a Pablo Escobar fictional biography at all, and don't mind them focusing on the DEA, but Murphy very much forced into this story. The was no need for a narrator in this show. It added nothing to the story. If you want to flesh out a character on the DEA side, cool, but I can't even tell if that's what they were going for. I'm assuming we're supposed to infer that dealing with this case has turned Murphy from the happy go lucky dude who was chasing down dudes in South Beach for weed into the emotionally unstable dude that pulls a gun on a taxi driver who he rear ended. But we're never given a reason to give a fukk about the character in the first pace so how are we supposed to notice or care about that change? We're supposed to care that he adopts this little Colombian girl, but why? Why does he take the baby in the first place? He met the mom once, he didn't have any connection to them whatsoever. I just feel like they didn't know if they wanted to flesh the character or or if they wanted to make this about the case and about Escobar. Besides that one thing, it's a good show
