My favourite scene is where he burns the piles of money in the fireplace.
Don't debate me.

Yeah, that Escobar was one smart dude. It is hard to hate him, he is like the Colombian Tony Soprano, without the psycho babble.

No, it is easy to hate him because he not only wreaked havoc all over Colombia for so long but also went after civilians. The Mafia, or at least fictionalized versions of it like Tony Soprano, don't touch police or civilians - they are off limits (as are drugs I believe). So the Mafia does have some sort of code that it goes by, which is one of the reasons why it's easier to sympathize with them.

Great season 2! Will be interesting like others have said to see where it goes from here. Coronel Carillo was badass. Legit fighting fire with fire shit.
My only complaint is the white cop was still annoying as hell. Pena killed it.

He's really fucking amazing. It's really why people have sympathy for Escobar beyond the writing and even with the extra added effect of horrible incidents overlayed during the end.
Dude is incredible as an actor. The problem is that in real life Esocbar was a truly vile piece of shit.

You seem like you know a great deal about Pablo. Is it true that when he was killed he was flat broke and had lost his control of the drug trade?
Did the rival cartels take everything from his family after his death?
Was there a real shootout that involved his family after Pablo's mom goes to church?

@El Chinito loco
Was just reading up on Khun Sa's wikipedia page. He apparently offered to sell his whole supply of opium to the Australian government which would have eliminated the supply at the time to Australia and the US for 50million dollars. Same offer to the US Gov but instead, i think it was 200M. Both of them refused. Crazy

Was Pablo white or mixed? What was his ethnicity?
