I finished season one last night.
Pretty well done, and can attest to the high quality of titties.
Looking forward to season two.

What's this Spanish version and where can I find it?

There's an even better version, all in Spanish with English subs called Pablo Escobar, el Patron del mal, on Netflix. However, it has 74 episodes so it's a lot more detailed than the abbreviated version for the Gringo market. Just finished watching the first episode and it's very well done.
Highly recommended if you enjoyed the English version.

Being a native speaker, when I first saw the trailer I rolled my eyes at Wagner Moura speaking Spanish. But he grew on me. His acting is superb, and I was able to overlook his accent. I agree that the actor who plays Murphy gives a wooden performance, and he's way out of his league when he's alongside Pascal (plays Javier Peña). They could have gotten a better looking wife for him as well. She's a bit homely. Lots of hot Latinas in the show (they're mostly Mexican), especially the one who played a prostitute/love interest to Peña. WB and wife up. And I agree, the 2nd season may be it's last. They seem to be rushing through everything.

I am 4 episodes in and enjoying the series.
However, sometimes I get pissed off when watching it. I think about what a massive policy failure it depicts.
The drug war is a massive waste of resources and lives, and an outrageous assault on an individual's control over his/her own body.
All drugs should be fully legal. People choose for themselves. As a practical matter, I'm not going to start smoking crack just because it's available at the local government run drug store.
Take 10% of the more than hundred billion USD spent every year on military style drug intervention, incarceration, etc, and use it for robust and spohisticated public health programs to treat and prevent addiction.
Money saved. Less lives ruined. Greater respect for freedom of choice.

This "Narcos" Thread needs a recommendation for everybody to also watch the Documentary called "Cocaine Cowboys", which is on Netflix right now too. It's a great Documentary about the Miami side of the Escobar era. The original one is the best and there's two newer ones that I have heard mixed reviews about that I haven't yet watched.

What would that small town be like if the heroin and meth (regulated for purity, along with all other drugs,) were available at minimal cost for the average recreational user from a government monopoly? Or even for free for registered addicts?
There would be no heroin or meth dealers.
There would be no need for addicts to steal.
There would be less people getting shipped off to the local or provincial jail or prison.
There would be no need for narcotics police.
Now, what if a portion of the prison savings, police savings, and drug sales were used to fund a robust and professional treatment and education program? Education for youngsters, medical treatment for addicted adults?
Instead of police walking the streets and busting up motels, have community outreach health workers.
I think less people would use drugs in this scenario, and that the ones who did would cause less harm to society and less harm to themselves.
Would it be perfect? No. But nothing is.
And using force/prohibition doesn't work.

Even the bad ones are better than most documentaries.
The second one is actually somewhat interesting from a Game perspective (some smart street level black gangster type decides to game Griselda in prison for her cocaine connections). It was a pretty clever actually, she can only bribe the guards for conjugal visits occasionally, so he gets a massive Columbian cocaine connection and rarely has to put out. Unfortunately, he can't break character during the documentary, so he keeps on telling some sappy love strory about how much he's in love with that hunk.
