I still haven't watched the last episode of season 2 so maybe it'll change my mind but I don't have much interest in two more seasons.

Can't wait. Loved season 2 and it was set up great for more seasons. Sad Escobar won't be the focus obviously but I have high hopes they'll make it just as good.

Maybe they will switch the story to Mexico. Things went really into shit there when Mexico became producer and seller of coke.

Already said it in the other thread but that's a pretty clever little teaser.

I like how it switches from Pablo's plain appearance to Orejuela (I think that's the name) looking like a Latin American Michael Mann character.

The Pablo saga was fantastic- I assume they may focus on the Cali vs Mexican cartels in the upcoming seasons. I'm really hoping they focus on Mexico, tbh.

Yup, it is onto them. Hopefully the actors/characters in S3 step-up to fill the shoes left by Wagner/Pablo.

For those who know the real life events.. how interesting are the Cali cartel? Based on what we've seen of them so far, I'm not sure if they can carry the whole show by themselves.

At the height of their power they controlled 90% of the entire world's cocaine supply. I think there's a story there.

Still have to watch season 2, probably start that tonight. I like that they left it open to focus on the other cartels too. Glad we are getting more of it.

Fail out bailed
Me: "Oh yeah. I have been wondering if that show is actually good. I'll read a few comments"

(5 seconds later)

Oh...
I'm gathering the main character dies at the end of season 02

Haha, I am curious to check it out.

I'm curious if someone could tell me what level of "good" this is. I can't decide if I want to jump into this or something else next.

The show is about the drug trade as a whole, not just Escobar.

http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/narcos-season-2-netflix-pablo-escobar-wagner-moura-1201850175/

The showrunners see clear parallels to “Narcos’” examination of U.S. incursions in Latin America to the contemporary geopolitical quagmire that is the war on terror. The market for cocaine production in Colombia was ignited by the demand coming not from Latin America but from its big neighbor to the north.

“This show is about the choice (the U.S. made) about the war on drugs – to deal with it as if it were a problem of supply,” Padilha said. “So we go to Colombia and we will kill the drug dealers. But they cannot stop it as long as there is the demand. That’s why this show will never end.”

“We’ll stop when the drug trade stops,” Padilha says. Adds Newman: “We’ll stop when you stop. That’s our pact with America.”

How are they dragging it out if they are telling the story of the rise and fall of Narcos? The story/show is more than just Pablo, even if that is what attracted many of us to the series. The story doesn't end with the death of Pablo.
