There’s no artificial cliffhanger to mull over. As the final credits roll, you’re left to sit back in slack-jawed wonderment at a self-contained story of the highest order. ... Season 3 is one of the best seasons of television.

A series that seeks to offer a unique perspective into an era many may not know about, a series grounded in enough humanity to elevate what might otherwise be easily stereotyped storytelling.

One of my favorite shows. Every episode was exciting to watch, and the acting was great. Some say season 3 is worse than the other 2, but I think they're all super great.

This is a one of the best tv series I have ever watched. I really like that they were able to fit the whole story into 3 seasons of 10 episodes. It makes every episode filled with story up to its brim. There is no episode that would give me the impression that it is just filler and this is especially true about season 3. The show shifts focus and shows new characters with incredible precision and great timing, the whole thing felt coherent even though it shifted its focus on different things and character stories during its story. The combination of fictionalized story and real world events are in perfect balance and I think they support each other really well. It gives a lot lore too because you can read about lot of the things online after you see them happen in the show. But beware doing this may lead to some spoilers! It is really neutral when it comes to showing each side of the story and I think that is one of the best decisions the producers did. It does not make the "bad guys" look like victims it shows that they are real people with personality and some intentions. This is no ordinary crime drama, if you like good looking cinematic crime solving definitely watch Narcos.

If that seemed like bravado at the time, the third season of Narcos has demonstrated that it's capable of reloading, recasting and, dramatically speaking, delivering the same high.

The omniscient-narrator device works very well for a complex story spanning many years and varied sets of players.

Without [Escobar] there’s a gaping hole. So allow yourself to be mesmerized and appalled at one of the most outrageous true crime dramas ever filmed.

The sense of desperation among all the characters is heightened; the stakes are higher; the politics more sordid. Other aspects of the series, however, have remained disappointingly the same.

There are potent and provocative ideas that lie frustratingly dormant throughout this series, which seems to be just happy to play a competent but only occasionally compelling Michael Mann riff.

Very well written and violent potrayl of the drug trade in columbia. Great writing and links to real life events make it very engaging. The series starts strong and never lets up.

Ortalama seviye bir yapımdı. Biraz belgesel niteliğinse bir yapım. Türü sevenler ve farklı şeyler denemek isteyenler izleyebilir.

I don't understand how you do a show based around Pablo Escobar and fail the casting for him so badly. They ended up picking some guy with a tiny narrow jaw and a round chin. It's impossible to take him serious. If Pablo looked like him a couple 10 year olds off the street would've made eye contact with him and then gotten him in a headlock. I tried to also make it through one episode but it was SO boring. This is why most Latin movies never make it off the ground. The vintage dusty sandy shirts and such gets boring after 5 minutes. It turns out that gangster stories are only really entertaining if you are like 13 and not fully developed yet. Regardless of the show being boring, the miscast with Escobar is one of the worst I've ever seen. Just look at Escobars mugshots compared to the actor here. Escobar has a masculine look to him with some passive confidence. The other guy looks like a full blown soyboy who can't even bite through a cold **** because his jaw is so weak.
