Narcos

Probably the best Netflix series I've seen this year, and the best from Gaumont (I'm glad that they kept the same quality level from Hannibal), again shot in 4K for main photography and 8K for aerial views. From the production standpoint, it proves that José Padilha is one of the best Latin American directors & producers, as he kept most of his Brazilian film production crew, including Pedro Bromfman (his haunting music is excellent for this series). The fact that this series was mostly shot in Colombia (in some of the real locations where Escobar lived), is noteworthy, and the level of realism and fully transparent visual effects by Mr. X (via Technicolor) gives us a whole different sense of the unfolding drama. If you have seen the VFX breakdowns, you'll know that most of the streets and landscapes in this series are CGI-enhaced and extended. We all know already how this story ends in 1993, and despite this fact I'm glued to the screen in every episode. The Spanish dialogues are tweaked in a way that when translated the meaning is slightly different, so I'm pretty much sure that the whole series was written first in English. The whole cast is great, despite not many of them being Colombian (mostly Mexican, actually), and Wagner Moura's performance is spot on (probably an Emmy nomination would come his way soon) despite his very, very heavy Portuguese accent. Some parts I couldn't even figure out what he was saying, even when Spanish is my native tongue, so I kept the English CC active in every episode. Honestly, I can't wait for the second (and most likely the last) season. Their main achievement with Narcos was not glamorizing Escobar or the drug trade, but presenting a compelling, human story that everyone can relate to.

One of the best series I've watched this year.

Have a 10/10! Enjoyed every single bit of it. Waiting in anticipation for season 2!

Another NetFlix superb tv show, solid quality.

I highly recommend!

Very Good, Best series ever.

Released last night on Netflix and I'm already hooked! 6 episodes in and things are getting interesting. I would highly recommend this show to anyone.

_Narcos_ is an excellent show with incredible acting, a compelling storyline, and a remarkable authenticity that makes it stand out from other crime dramas. The show is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, and for good reason. The performances are outstanding, particularly from Wagner Moura as the drug lord Pablo Escobar, and the show's meticulous attention to detail in depicting the true events of the drug trade in Colombia is impressive. _Narcos_ is undoubtedly one of the best shows on Netflix!

Great great series, i enjoyed every minute.

wow season 3 is **SUCH A LET DOWN** compared to seasons 1+2 which were amazing!

By far one of the best if not THE best tv shows i have ever seen, if for some reason you are not watching this- go watch it now
