just finished season 2. phenomenal acting by Wagner Moura and Pedro Pascal.
but still.. this show could have been better. they show nothing of Escobars upcoming, of him becoming a bandit, of his high life at the height of his power. I mean yeah you don't want to glorify his life and all that but at the same time his life as king-pin was legendary and this is after all a TV show. instead this show deals with that part within two or three episodes and then rest of season 1 and 2 is about his downfall.
the first 3/4 of season 1 was still good, then I just got bored. they managed to gain my attention again during the last 5 episodes (which I binged) but really it's over 1.5 seasons of Escobars downfall. it's just stretched too much.
I guess it's good they called the show 'narcos' and not 'the downfall of pablo escobar' or something because now we get to see the downfall of the cali cartel! (or do they still exist? I have no idea) hopefully not another 2 seasons tho.
e: oh I loved that they incorportaed real pictures and news reels from that era.
