Netflix "Narcos" Season 1 Thread

Looks to me like they set Pacho up to be the focus next (so Cali cartel), he has dirt of the Americans and Pena in his pocket.

Great show, watched it in two days. Latinas

that guy does not look like a drug lord to me he looks kind of funny, like a comedian

Someone with a Lil more knowledge in this pls help me. Is it me or did they switch up the timelines a bit in this. Like Wasn't Gustavo's death closer to when Gaviria went in office. And then Pablo started all da bombing campaigns?

At the peak of his power, infamous Medellín cartel boss Pablo Escobar brought in an estimated $420 million a week in revenue, making him easily one of the wealthiest drug lords in history.

Known as the "king of cocaine," Escobar's wealth was so immense that he stashed piles of cash in Colombian farming fields, dilapidated warehouses, and in the walls of cartel members' homes, according to Roberto Escobar, the cartel's chief accountant and the kingpin's brother, in his book, "The Accountant's Story: Inside the violent world of the Medellín cartel."

"Pablo was earning so much that each year we would write off 10% of the money because the rats would eat it in storage or it would be damaged by water or lost," Escobar wrote.

That would be about $2.1 billion dollars, given how much money he was reportedly making.

Escobar simply had more money than he knew to do with, and therefore haphazardly losing money to rodents and mold wasn't an issue.

Legendary drug lord Pablo Escobar lost $2.1 billion in cash each year — and it didn't matter

It would be absolutely terrible for the show to go on for more than 2 seasons.

I really liked it tho. I wish it was a show about a fictional character based on Escobar instead of based on the man itself so it could be stretched out.

I hope they get rid of the narration.

It could of had 2-3 seasons of Pablo if they did not rush. They fictionalized some his story and skipped a lot.

Decent show. Would be better without the yanks.

white people like to watch white people on tv

Just started.. On episode 3. Good sh*t but seems like they're rushing through the story. Needs to slow down a bit. Also the gringo, his wife, and his narrating needs to

from what i know the gringo had a huge part in "catching" escobar

This show was fantastic. I guess Season 2 is gonna be about the search for Pablo and ending with his death. I was curious how they were gonna stretch it out to 2 seasons.

I don't want too look at the rest of the thread but I'm on episode 5 and it's been incredible so far. They picked the right dude to play Escobar. You pretty much know how it goes down if you've ever read Killing Pablo or watched Cocaine Cowboys, but seeing it actually play out with this cast makes it more real.
