Oh ok, didn't really look like it to me, and it didn't look like the same actor either. They were similar but they didn't look the same, I'll go back and watch both again.

Yea, in season 3 it just looks darker. But in Narcos s2 it's much brighter. There's a couple extra shots in the flashback this season but it doesn't change the scene really.
As a season of TV it was straight. When I found out it was the LAST season I was 
This shyt was a mess. It's not without it's highlights tho
We all know where Chapo ends up but they made his come up look organic without having to force foreshadowing. You naturally see his ambition + the cards lining up for him
That storyline with buddy looking for the serial killer didn't fit in this shyt at ALL wtf. Netflix got a huge problem with pandering to women and shoehorning "woke" shyt into their shows. You could tell they made him an informant JUST to try to link that incongruent ass plot point to the main story. You wanna make a show about the missing women in Mexico do it but gluing that shyt onto Narcos was weird as hell
Mayo stole every scene he was in
Walt is the best of all the Narco's white boys, who I did not give a FUKK about. Walt's obsession, spiral, and self assessment are a much better attempt at what they were trying to do with that wack ass white boy from Pablo's season one
In total it feels like they didn't really have a direction outside of showing Chapo's rise. The pacing is weird too like they really didn't have a solid way to end the series clean

That's the same scene breh
I would love a season or a doc on El mayo. Ever since da chapo us trial been trying to find info on him.
Chapo's lawyers sd at trial basically that El mayo is da tru godfather and ring leader of all of this and that chapo has been setup all these yrs as the fall guy. Let Chapo's name and picture be always out there as the face so every1 comes after vhapo while El mayo really runs everything n controls everything.

Once the lady whose niece was missing mentioned she worked at an auto parts factory, I knew it was about all the women who got killed or went missing in Juarez from the mid 90s to the early 2000s. I heard about it in a podcast a couple months ago. While very interesting on it's own, I don't see the need for it to be part of Narcos b/c it doesn't really do anything for the story.

Haha word to Tony soprano. He did that to junior.
shyt reminds me of the McNulty homeless murders from the wire. Just irrelevant to the story we want to see. I don't care if 1m women got murdered. Make a separate documentary and let people who care watch.
This season was just too "Narcos" for me. Glad this is it. They really botched ready-made storylines. Meaning they did the Hollywood thing and had to have a "savior" and "do-gooders" to balance out the story. Again, they should've just told the stories of the Narcos and let them be the central points of the season. Yes, there were many other things that occurred during that period, but the series is named Narcos.
Next up for Netflix, hopefully they don't blow the Griselda Blanco story. Even though, they casted Sofia Vergara in the lead role as her....

Sofia Vergara To Portray Griselda Blanco In Netflix Limited Series
November 3, 2021 12:00pm
Sofia Vergara, Griselda BlancoNetflix
Sofia Vergara is set to portray notorious drug queenpin Griselda Blanco in a new Netflix limited series.
The six-episode series Griselda chronicles the real-life of Griselda Blanco, who created one of the most profitable cartels in history. A devoted mother, Blanco’s lethal blend of charm and unsuspecting savagery helped her expertly navigate between family and business leading her to become widely known as the “Black Widow”.
The series comes from Empire and Justified writer Ingrid Escajeda, who is showrunner, writer, and executive producer as well as Eric Newman, Doug Miro, Andrés Baiz, and Carlo Bernard— the creative team behind Narcos – but it is unrelated to Netflix’s drug thriller franchise.
Vergara will also serve as executive producer of the project with Luis Balaguer for Latin World Entertainment. Colombian native Baiz will direct all episodes.
“Griselda Blanco was a larger-than-life character whose ruthless but ingenious tactics allowed her to rule a billion dollar empire years before many of the most notorious male kingpins we know so much about,” Vergara said. “We are thrilled to have found the perfect partners in Eric, Andrés and Netflix to help us bring this story of her life to the screen.”
Newman added, “Griselda Blanco has long been a passion project for Sofia and we are grateful that she and her partners at LatinWe have chosen us to help her tell that story. Sofia is a brilliant talent and her passion combined with a fantastic story from Doug and Ingrid, and the amazing Andrés Baiz at the directing helm, means we have a very exciting series to share with audiences.”
Peter Friedlander, VP, UCAN scripted series at Netflix, said, “Eric Newman has deftly brought to life among the most dynamic characters and stories on screen today. We’re excited to continue on this creative path with him and for this collaboration with Sofia Vergara — a force in entertainment and a world-beloved talent. With an incredible team at the helm — we can’t wait for the world to see how Ingrid Escajeda, Doug Miro, and Andrés Baiz take on the twists and turns of Griselda Blanco’s epic story.”
Blanco burst onto the pop culture scene after her exploits were highlighted in the 2006 documentary Cocaine Cowboys and its sequel two years later from Billy Corben. She was portrayed by Catherine Zeta-Jones in the Lifetime biopic Cocaine Godmother in 2018.

A silent witness to all this trolling going on.
Sofia would make a great cartel boss or a cartel boss trophy wife. Or at least...my wife 
I'd renounce all my HOH ways for her man. There I said it.

It's better they make the cop shyt random in these kind of shows. To freshen things up.
Like only show them at a point when the gangster slips up and they get a break or get lucky, or when raids are made. So they're more like a hidden enemy and there to raise that feeling of suspense and paranoia that criminals have.
A big thing with narcos is you have to tell these decade and multiple cartel spanning stories but they decided to add in the cop's personal lives like
. This season you had the white cop, the white cop's home life, the twitchy mexican cop, the twitchy mexican cop's home life, and the reporters, then you had 3 cartels and the columbians, and the gulf cartel were ignored.
I don't think they said what happened with the pacho hit in mexico either.
They pulled it off in medellin seasons because they only really had pablo to focus on.

I get why nikkas hate the homeless murders angle but i honestly didn't think it was that ridiculous
but at least it still connected to the damn plot. Mcnulty affected the entire cast with his actionsThat missing girls shyt had nothing to do with ANYTHING. Completely separated from the main plot and damn near felt like a different show. They had him connected to Vicente and Vicente himself barely even existed with everything else in the show
Easily one of the most shoehorned irrelevant plots I've ever seen

Yea the best example of a show with no protagonist is The Wire
