Narcos on netflix (1 Viewer)

[mr. furley]

agree. I'm about 6 or 7 in... really good stuff. 

first couple episodes were a bit slow setting stuff up... but the last few have been really hard not to binge.

Spoiler

those first two DEA agents that appeared in episode 1 & 2 almost made me tap out

it felt an awful lot like they belonged on a failed CBS pilot

 

[Charlie Harper]

Enjoyed first 2.  Watched first episode of the 3rd and not feeling it. Can't get into it as much without Don Pablo. 

Yep. Stick with it. It's just as awesome. 

 

[Tiger Fan]

Finished this up.  Agree with others that season 3 was the best so far.

 

[shadyridr]

Yep season 3 was the best and its due to the security head who we were all pulling for.

Jorge was a boss

Watched the 3rd episode last night. I don't think casting Newman from Seinfeld was a good idea. Not that he did a bad job but it really takes you out of the realism of the show having such a recognized actor and a comedic one at that.

I thought he was fine.  He only has like 3 scenes all season

 

[mr. furley]

he threw me, too. glad he wasn't a fixture.

He's barely in it

I didn't say it ruined the show. It just took me out of the scene I saw him in. We were laughing when we saw him.

I've just finished season 3 and I loved it! Great series.

 

[jamny]

We watched the 4th episode the other night. I loved how they showed the decoy raid and made you think it was the real thing before letting on what was really happening. I did think something was up when Pena was eying the chicken truck passing by as they were on to their raid in the other direction.

I just started season 2. The episode flew by, looking forward to more. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Finally finished season 3 last week.  Pretty good.  The dude who played Chepe was a ####### boss.

i did think it was a little much when Navegante turned to him and said "Hello Newman", before slicing his throat open.

I just finished Season2 Ep4. Holy crap there were some tense moments in this one.

1. Murphy chasing the guy in the narrow streets at night.
2. The moment's leading up to Carillo getting ambushed.
3. Pablo's conversation with Mariza at the end.


So great.

Settle an argument. Does Pena look more like a young Burt Reynolds or a young Charles Bronson?

 

[El Floppo]

Yes

 

[simey]

There are times where he favors a young Burt Reynolds.

 

[Buzzbait]

More like Reynolds 

 

[jamny]

 

[shadyridr]

Definitely Reynolds

 

[El Floppo]

More like Norm Macdonald doing Reynolds imo

 

[mr. furley]

why is the media trying to pretend that Murphy isn't the son of Hal Linden?

 

[jamny]

We only have 2 left. The first half of the season was good but it gets better and better after that. Probably will wind up being the best season to me.

 

[EYLive]

I just finished season 2 this weekend. They did a great job of making Pablo in a sympathetic figure.
That segue to Season 3 was pretty great. Can't wait.

[Long Ball Larry]

Spoiler

unwatchable...does it ever stop with the subtitles...

I agree.  I tried to watch it but all the foreign language and subtitles made it unwatchable for me as well.  Is it still that way?  I only watched a couple of episodes before I gave up.

 

[rascal]

Just binged watched season 4.  Good stuff.

 

[shadyridr]

Just finished Narcos Mexico. Fascinating stuff. I never heard of Gallardo or Kiki Camerena but reading about them now. Also had no clue Chapo was THE El Chapo.

 

[Soulfly3]

on ep4 now and cant get over how poorly cast the main cop is.

he just looks like a goof

 

[Major]

Agreed.  Easily my least favorite character in the Mexico series.  Now, Isabella on the other hand  

 

[Charlie Harper]

Not as good as the previous 3, but it is an intro to a semi-new world. Still a must watch series. Knocked it out in my 2 days off.

Narcos:Mexico is Awesome  

 

[ericttspikes]

I liked Narcos Mexico a lot. The DEA agents weren't as good as Javier and Steve were in Narcos and the Felix character wasn't as compelling of a villain as Escobar and the Cali crew were, but it was a binge worthy series. The set up for season 2 of Narcos Mexico looked promising. Good to see Ken Cosgrove find some work.

Yeah, you can see where this heading, and I like it,

 

[top dog]

Really enjoyed it.  Even though I knew how it all ended for Kiki, it was still had enough suspense to keep you guessing.

didn't know those guys either- but El Chapo... of course- especially considering his trial is ongoing in the city right now (plus his awesome recent prison escape). interesting to see him as a kid coming up the ranks (and getting picked on for being little).

on ep4 now and cant get over how poorly cast the main cop is.

he just looks like a goof

yeah- I've been saying this same thing in the Narcos Mexico thread. ... eta: oh- misread that. I found gallardo to be terribly miscast- always played it scared and uncertain rather than powerful and brutal. I didn't mind kiki's casting.

Not as good as the previous 3, but it is an intro to a semi-new world. Still a must watch series. Knocked it out in my 2 days off.

this is pretty similar to where I'm at. I liked it fine- but felt like a step-down especially with the writing where they relied on omg-he's-going-to-get-caught-by-the-crazy-coincidence-of-timing-PHEW. still, really interesting getting the story on the mexican cartels- and on sensimilia (just assumed it was code for good weed, not an actual thing)
