Narcos tells the story of the rise of Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel in the 1980s. At the time, Escobar was smuggling billions of dollars worth of cocaine into America and other countries around the world, which led to a lot of people starting to pay attention and want in on the deal. The U.S., on the other hand, wanted Escobar to go away, which led to the D.E.A. getting involved in the region.

In the series, Wagner Moura stars as Pablo Escobar, alongside Boyd Holbrook, who narrates most of the series, and Pedro Pascal, who is best known for playing Prince Oberyn in Game of Thrones.

The series was primarily filmed in Colombia, which provides a feeling of authenticity and makes for some beautiful cinematography. It’s very well put together in that regard.

Barely more than a week after its release, Narcos was renewed for a second season. Now, there are five seasons if the show on Netflix.

The series was nominated for two Golden Globes, Best Drama TV Series and Best Actor in a Drama Series (Wagner Moura).

Narcos: Mexico is coming back for season 3 on Netflix.
