Narcos - Season 1 Review
by iwantmycookies | created - 22 Dec 2015 | updated - 23 Dec 2015 | PublicSeason rating - 8.5-great
Highlight episode - La Catedral
Pretty good season which was fairly consistent throughout. I feel the show may have benefited with being more focused in one period of time rather than simply glossing other 10 years worth of content. The result meant the vast array of characters weren't as developed as they could have been and although the quick pace was entertaining, I'd have found a first season focusing on Escobar's rise to power a lot more interesting. Regardless, what we're given here is still more than acceptable and Moura is excellent in the role.
