Narcos: Mexico is effectively the 4th season of Narcos. While the story it tells is definitely a story worth knowing, it just doesn't have the same kind of charm as the ones in Colombia. The characters are fairly interesting with the exception of Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo played by Diego Luna. He delivers a very flat performance and since he is the main character that is a huge turnoff. And even though most of the other actors do a decent job there's still no real standout. The story overall is interesting but lacks high points or dramatic events. After watching the whole season I definitely got the impression that Mexico was a far smaller player in the drug trade than Colombia. The stakes just seem lower.
