Official Narcos Mexico Season 2 Thread

[Monoblock]

Funny I was watching Elysium and noticed Pablo and Felix were both in this.

Great season. What Felix predicted what would happen (if he really did) actually happened. Mexico is an unorganized mess. Crazy thing about Felix is he had all the money in the world and it still wasn't enough. He just wanted to control everything and power but should have saw what was coming. His own pride got in his way and the plazas turned on him. No need to do what he did to Palma's wife and kids. That was fukkin ridiculous.

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.

I was there last year. Comuna 13 got such a good energy, you'd never think it was the most dangerous place in the world at one point. That Guatape rock is hard as fukk to climb up if you're though. The views from up there are second to none. I did the Pablo tour too of the jail and gravesite.

I didn't know 'Popeye' died. People from Colombia either hate or love Pablo. One of the uber drivers I met literally worships Pablo and I can tell dude would be a sicario if the Medellin cartel was still in existence.

Its a gotdamn shame Wagner didn't win all the awards. Breh was Pablo. Going to have to go back and watch dem Pablo eps 1 day. Classic shyt.

Its crazy how these dudes get got, then some new dude is there to fill the void. Like El Mencho when Chapo went down. Its like the cia or someone just decides who gonna be the top dawg or something.

Bodies are dropping in Comuna 13 right now. Something flared up in recent weeks. I'm pretty fluent in Spanish. So my conversations can sometimes lead to some pretty interesting info from locals when I travel.

As I was told in Spanish by some of the residents and a couple of older taxi guys while we were there, there's never really peace, just a truce. All they know is war, from La Violencia of the 40s-50s, Pablo's reign and eventual war with the Colombian govt (late 80s-early 90s), the battle for turf after he died (mid-90s), Los Pepes turned into paracos (AUC) vs FARC & ELN (mid 90s to mid-2000s), and now the modern-day gangs. Me and my lady were able to navigate freely, but only on the tourist-friendly paths. That whole area is still under rule. Businesses paying vacunas (extortion) for protection. I wouldn't mess around up there at night.

I didn't do the Pablo tour or anything. We really had no interest in it. I have some Colombians friends from the Caribbean coast who were in Bucaramanga on vacation, and drove over to Hacienda Napoles to check it out. One of my exes had lived through those times in Medellin, and it wasn't nothing sweet. We just went up to Guatape and El Penon. While in Guatape, we did a boat tour of the lake. Pablo had something close to 300 properties around that lake back in those times. Some had been repatriated to the govt and still in use, some were burnt out by Los Pepes and left the same 30 yrs later, some still being used by his remaining family.

Yeah, some folks still have a lot of love for Pablo, mostly in Medellin of course. They showed us the barrio that he created for the poor back in the day. The educated and such absolutely hate him, as many families were destroyed by his actions back then. One thing I would advise, don't ever buy or wear one of those Pablo Escobar t-shirts. It's a very open wound still.

And yeah, Popeye died of cancer 2-3 weeks ago. Pablo Escobar's chief hitman 'Popeye' dies of cancer - CNN That's a whole other story.

decent season...just finished it up...I missed don neto and rafa’s characters tho...and the dynamic that existed between them and felix

if I had to rank them all it’d be—

1. narcos season 1
2. narcos season 2
3. narcos mexico season 1
4. narcos season 3/narcos mexico season 2

even tho I have it tied for last it was still a really good watch...no way I would’ve been able to marathon it in 2 days if I thought it was bad...just goes to show how great the other seasons were...hope they give us another season tho...I really wanna see el chapo’s story play out

 

[old pig]

Isabella is so damn feminine and poised holy shyt I love her

she has a muppet face and everything about her screams trashy whore

the chic who played felix’s first wife tho

 

[old pig]

Yeah, Diego Luna is very good at his craft. I remember him as Tenoch from "Y Tu Mama Tambien" directed by Alfonso Cuaron, years ago with Gael Garcia Bernal.

man he KILLED his role this season...great performance

Man every scene she was in my mouth dropped. Woman is drop dead gorgeous.

 

[Numpsay]

Good season, kind of seems the end was rushed though. Everything unraveled for Felix expeditiously. Season probably should have been 12-13 episodes.

 

[altruicsense]

Don't they know my nikka Gutter fukkin' kidnap kids
fukk 'em in the ass, throw 'em over the bridge




BIG ain't lie about beef.

 

[Slim]

There’s actually an interview with Felix and in it El Mayo’s name is mentioned and he said he’s not familiar with who he is.

Borderland Beat: El Padrino speaks from prison

Wow..Good find! I wonder if it's true or if Felix has/had some beef with him and is basically giving him "half a bar".

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

That scene at the bridge was similar to the scene in the chapo series. Was those two scenes based on the same event?

From what I have read recently the old FARC members made a "peace" deal with the government in 2016. However, as usual only the old time high ranking members have benefited. The young guys still out on the streets have taken over and it's all starting over again.

Yeah, that's the gist of the "peace" deal. ELN is still very active around the country. And another threat to the common person in Colombia is the major influx of Venezuelan gangs, locally know as "venecos." With this current government in place and the failure to act on any of those threats, it's a powder keg again.

The one thing that may be keeping things in place is that the middle class has grown tremendously in the country. Therefore, the desperation isn't as widespread as it once was. As a result, the guerillas aren't able to recruit quite as easily as in the past with the disenchanted youth. Colombia in 2020 is nowhere near what I met back in 2004, the tail-end of the brutal AUC/FARC wars with Uribe in office.
