El Patron del Mal is off the leash. Narcos can't compete. As a Spanish speaker I appreciate listening to easier to understand Spanish as the Mexicans I am surrounded by talk too fast and use too much slang.
Note: If you have watched other Spanish series like El Cartel de Sapos and El Reina del Sur, they use many of the same actors. Kind of like HBO does in their series.
When Chile dies I felt like I did when Jimmy dies on Boardwalk Empire.

Totalmente de acuerdo, Joe. De hecho veía la serie entera con subtítulos españoles para mejorar mi Español. Y es una gran oportunidad para aprender la jerga Colombiana ;-)
Gracias por el consejo - 'El Cartel de Sapos' tiene muy buena pinta. Eres un berraco ;-)
P.D.: La Reina del Sur es muy mal en mi opinion...

Cause it's a Mexican novela. In my opinion the Mexican narco novelas are unwatchable. They are cheesy, over the top violent, B movies....no matter how high the budget is
Or you could look at ugly bitches on US or western TV.

Downloaded season 2 on toxicwap. Episode 7 had no subtitles. Anyone else had the same problem?
Don't debate me.

Finished last night. Season 1 was better. They hinted at there being a 3rd season but I don't think I'll be interested in watching it.

I'm like 5 sodes deep in season 2..... this show is so good. It fascinating to imagine that this is based on real life.

Yeah, that Escobar was one smart dude. It is hard to hate him, he is like the Colombian Tony Soprano, without the psycho babble.
Don't debate me.

Hard to hate??? Go to Medellin and Envigado and speak to people who are old enough to remember that time. Then do the Pablo Escobar tour where you meet his brother.
Maybe then you think different of him.
I too found it distasteful how the show made you sympathize with him despite how many fucked up things he's done and innocent people he killed directly or indirectly.

I didn't feel bad for him. The show has that Walter White effect. Making you feel for the character, but it's easy for me to say that he finally got a dose of his own medicine. People who bend the rules in their favor, then thank others can't bend the rules is silly. I enjoyed last season better, maybe because novelty. Either way worth a weekend binge for sure.

Narcos: New Netflix Series About Pablo Escobar

After living for 2 years in Medellin and visiting, nobody that i talked to about that era had positive things to say about Escobar and narcos. Likeable???? Put it this way, I've met many locals who have a relative or know of someone close who were murdered. This may be due to the narco/gang related activities or something totally different. When I compare that to where I grew up, Toronto, I don't know anybody who was murdered nor do I have friends who know someone who was murdered. Polar opposite experiences.
Not so long ago, in 1991 Medellin had 6391 homicides. I doubt anybody living through that period would say positive things about Escobar. So the best advice I learnt was to not talk about narcos (drug dealers) as it will get a negative reaction. I.E. You gringos only like mafia, killing, drugs, prostitutes ( all the vices ) etc.
Now, the show is still fun entertainment. My favorite character is his cousin Gustavo. I wonder which direction they will go next for a potential season 3. I saw the last episode so I wont spoil it for others (Peña)... Maybe they will focus on Griselda Blanca as well.

Only watched three episodes of Season 2 but the actress that plays Maritza - the girl that plays the decoy in the cab that Escobar rides in - is extremely attractive. Stick skinny, but then again I am Asian so am used to it.
