Official Narcos Mexico Season 2 Thread

One of the names i noticed they bleep out during the whole show is the former president Carlos Salinas de Gortari, the candidate that Felix helps get elected president
That scene was to me one the most haunting because in a way it encapsulated the views held by white oligarchs towards people of indigenous descent in Mexico. What’s even crazier is that it actually happened in real life and yes the boy who pulled the trigger would later in his life become president of Mexicofinished ep 6 and that had to be the most demonic opening the show's ever had
Here go some background on the incident
”A tragedy occurred early in Carlos Salinas's life. On 18 December 1951, when he was three years old, he was playing with his older brother Raúl, then five, and an eight-year-old friend when they found a loaded rifle, and one of them shot and killed the Salinas family's twelve-year-old maid, Manuela.”
”I killed her i’m a hero, three-year-old Carlos Salinas declared, according to the Mexico City daily El Universal after he had shot and killed his family’s maid with a .22-caliber rifle”
Spooky shyt indeed
Send that linkShe got a dope azz sex scene on xhamster. Just put her real name in. Bish is so sexy
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Also way too emotional. At least according to the show.
yeah I’m referring within the context of the show. I don’t keep up with what may have happened in real life.
Decent season. Next season has a lot of potential if done correctly.

I thought it was interesting that Cochiloco was actually the last boss of the Guadalajara Cártel. Stealing from the Arellano Felix brothers AND the Rodriguez Orejuela Brothers is what got him killed according to the article. 
Yoo, can we talk about Isabella?
She spent the whole season looking bad and catching endless L’s
Narcos: •••••She reminded me of that chick in the Nothin but a G thang video
Isabella:
Ol’Otis

Narcos went Hollywood on yall. In real life, Felix was much smarter. I don't believe that he "ordered" Camarena's murder, but Narcos made it easy to pin it on him, while blurring out govt officials' names.... Some folks are actually believing it as fact.
Felix got knocked to prison in 1989. He continued to run the organization until they moved him to maximum security in the 90s. In real life, he got knocked while still in control of all of Mexico's vices, except the Gulf. From jail, he sent one of his lawyers to meet with the plaza bosses to organize the separation of them from his organization. That might be the final scene with Azul and the plaza bosses.
Tijuana was run by his nephews...the AFO (Arellano Felix organization)....Let that sink in for a minute, as you re-watch the series.
Those scenes with Felix and Pacho were fantasy. Didn't happen anywhere like that. They already had been doing business with Colombians years prior. Salcedo didn't work for the Cali cartel until like 1992-1993, long after Felix was in prison. How could he show up for a meeting with Felix and Pacho in 1987-1989???
Sandra Avila Beltran was Felix's niece, not some thottie that Narcos portrays her as. Rafa is also blood-related to her... She was not what they portray her as in Narcos as Isabella Bautista. She had connections to the Colombians for many years prior through her family, as did Felix. She ended up becoming Queen of the South in the early 2000s....
Sinaloa was given to Palma, Chapo and another dude....we know the story of what became of that years later
Juarez was not Amado's until 1993, well after Felix's arrest in 1989. Amado's story is crazy as he took control of Juarez in 1993 and was dead 4 years later....supposedly during plastic surgery
The Gulf remained independent of Felix, but the nephew (Juan Abrego) in the show had been running it in real life since the 1970s. The old man inclusion in the 80s was Narcos' BS. The Gulf eventually became another wild battleground, as the Zetas took control in the 2000s.
Again, the Narcos timeline is all over the place, filled with fantasy, and doesn't make for a cohesive season 3. At least in Colombia, due to the reference materials available and the better research effort on the part of the writers, it was more realistic.
The crazy thing is, if Narcos just kept to the source material, this story would be even crazier than Colombia, Pablo as the exception. I was recently in Colombia (Guatape, Comuna 13, etc.), and the wealth and influence of him still exists, almost 30 years later. Popeye just died, from natural causes.
Narcos botched the authenticity of the Mexico series and made it a caricature of what could have been an epic series, just for American acceptance. Narcos Mexico is a Hollywood fantasy series, at this point. Take from it what you will.
