Rent Narcos: Series 3 (2017)
4.2 of 5 from 40 ratings
8h 29min
Series 1 and 2 of this were so brilliant, especially with the presence of the actor who played Pablo Escobar (Wagner M), so it was unclear if the same standard would be reached after the charismatic kingpin P.E. had left the stage.
No need to worry because despite Escobar being replaced by 'the gentlemen of Cali', this series is as watchable, horrific and exciting as the first two. Most fascinating perhaps is the gay narco, and the extras on the DVD discuss this. The inevitable fate of these Narcos ensues as does the sad fate of many of the good guys.
Yet again, the way the series mixes Spanish and English, and the way it cuts real news footage from the 1990s with drama, make this something special.
