This shyt is tight.....netflix aint bullshyttin.
We cant even tell a story about columbians without making a gringo the focusFirst episode was a bit messy but still dope. Show reminds me of the movie Blow. Pablo and the Narco's story are amazing. The DEA's story not so much. 10 episodes of this might be the greatest first season drug story since The Wire.
bout to check it out later

they really let this dude build his own jail and thought he would play by the rules 
4 eps in. This is pretty dope so far.
One episode 1, and it was kind of a chore to get through. I didn't like the narration, I understand the nod to 'Goodfellas', but this rather dull and cliched DEA agent is no Ray Liotta. So many dull and derivative scenes, the bowling alley, the foot pursuit, the 'I had to kill a teenager' scene, the murdered partner, the 'plata or plomo' scene. The teenager/pregnant mule scene seems heavy handed and only a brief reprieve from what is essentially a retread of a dozen other movies, a ceaseless glorification of violence and carnage.
Love the Brazilian as Escobar, great acting, subpar script and plotting. Luis Guzman is way over the top, which he never seems to have under control. The shotgun scene was especially bad, a weary overdone shot, the freeze frame/brutal excuetion scene. The entire thing is a like a history lesson light, effectively shot and budgeted, but not much different in affect from dramatizations in documentaries over the years. The first episode is way too glossy and cliche for me to be really invested in any of it. 'Escobar: Paradise Lost' was a bad movie, with a great Pablo Escobar, a nuanced portrayal, with menace and brevity. This Escobar is well acted, but none of it is compelling, or interesting, despite a fascinating character and story.
Their are moments of insight, or moral ambiguity that are briefly grabbing, quickly vanishing for the scenes of dispatching of the un loyal partner, or other well worn stories in these sagas. It's well produced and slick enough to be barely watchable entertainment, but this is not great television.
