702238, First episode got me hooked Posted by JiggysMyDayJob, Fri Aug-28-15 01:43 PM
I'm all the way in, but the voice over is getting annoying.Wagner Moura is such a great actor and I'm happy him and Padilla are back together, I loved the Elite Squad films.

702248, LOVED the first ep. Really looking forward to this Posted by Mynoriti, Fri Aug-28-15 04:27 PM

702253, Production value for the first episode Posted by Numba_33, Fri Aug-28-15 09:19 PM
looks as good as shit you'd see on HBO. I'm very impressed. I'm going to try to watch this series slowly to savor how good I hope this show will be.
|
702257, Good to see the black dude from Event Horizon getting some more Posted by jswerve386, Fri Aug-28-15 11:23 PM
shine..
5 episodes deep and this show is amazing.
|
702258, Voice over reminds me of Goodfellas. Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Sat Aug-29-15 08:24 AM
Like when they were going over the jungle factories and dude was explaining the process of baking the coke?
I don't mind the voice over too much, but I could see how people could get annoyed with it.
Definitely a solid pilot episode.
|
702267, That voiceover somehow grows on you Posted by Sofian_Hadi, Sat Aug-29-15 03:47 PM
I almost stopped watching the first episode because it seemed like way too much, but it works in the end.
|
702297, man, it took me 5 episodes to even notice how heavy on subttitles Posted by Mynoriti, Sun Aug-30-15 06:44 PM
this show is. which i'd say is a pretty good sign. I'm not sure if it's the voice-over balancing that out, but either way, i'm glad they didn't go the Tyrant route and have everyone speak english
|
702302, RE: Posted by Sofian_Hadi, Sun Aug-30-15 09:10 PM
Yeah it balances it out, made me forget the majority of the show is subtitles. Takes getting used to but it was smart on their part and i actually dont mind subtitles.
|
702352, I don't think it grows on you... it just fades out Posted by sfMatt, Mon Aug-31-15 01:43 PM
I definitely noticed the amount of voiceover declining as the episodes stacked up. It was annoying and almost pandering in places in the early episodes, so I'm glad they got away from it.
|
702665, I think it "called too many shots" throughout the season Posted by mrhood75, Sun Sep-13-15 06:59 PM
And almost ruined some of the surprises and killed the tension in some scenes.
Ep. 1: "That mug shot of Carlos would haunt him later."
Ep. 8: "The surveillance that they found wouldn't lead to a victory" right before Carillo's people try to free the female reporter. This was the worst case, because it completely gave away that the raid was going to wrong.
Ep. 9: "Pay attention to this story about the farmer finding money, because it's going to change everything."
Sometimes it served its purpose, but I didn't really need to punctuate every scene.

702288, it feels like drama is being done way better on "tv" than in movies. Posted by tingum, Sun Aug-30-15 12:10 PM
movies just seem like a fulfilling waste of 2 hours nowadays. these shows are actually compelling.
|
702290, its true, movies have to be made for the widest audience Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Sun Aug-30-15 02:41 PM

so i feel the things that americans look for with script or character development just isnt going to be found in movies any more
|
702291, this is bizarre Posted by Rjcc, Sun Aug-30-15 03:25 PM

and that's why Narcos is better.
it's pretty weird to say that the problem is a focus on "international" when you're talking about a series that was specifically designed to be released around the world simultaneously, and to capitalize on audiences in North and South America

702440, How many seasons does the show go? Posted by muzuabo, Wed Sep-02-15 08:38 PM
3? 4? Esco died in 1994. The first season takes place over 1989-1990.
|
702444, I was wondering how they'd stretch it to two as fast as it was going Posted by Rjcc, Thu Sep-03-15 02:13 AM
but they packed a lot in, I gotta check some documentaries to see what else is out there. if they move to the other cartels, into Miami, maybe?
seems like two seasons, but with its success, they're gonna want 3.

702516, That's so true. Escobar obviously wasn't the only game in town. Posted by muzuabo, Mon Sep-07-15 02:17 AM
Though he was the most interesting and charismatic of the Cartel Dons.
|
702664, The writers have said they can carry it on after Pablo's death Posted by mrhood75, Sun Sep-13-15 06:54 PM
Which is why I figure they introduced the Cali Cartel.
They could also jump ahead and show what fighting drug cartels is like in the post Sept. 11th world.

702565, So Carlos "Leon" Ledher was the inspiration for Diego in "Blow" Posted by mrhood75, Thu Sep-10-15 01:14 AM
Don't know if this has been mentioned earlier in the thread, as I'm not finished with the series yet, but the John Lennon loving, Nazi sympathizing, pilot drug lord was George Jung's bunkmate in prison.
|
702576, Yeah, I have no idea why they changed his name for Blow Posted by Marauder21, Thu Sep-10-15 08:37 AM
They did that with a few of the other big players in that movie.
|
702674, i'm sure it's some legal technicality Posted by jrocc, Mon Sep-14-15 09:57 AM
a lot of characters in Narcos have their names changed as well even though they're clearly "inspired" by real life people (like the news reporter lady for instance).
|
702577, Thought it would just be another "the drug game was CRAZY" thing Posted by Marauder21, Thu Sep-10-15 08:39 AM
Glad to see I was wrong. Loved the dude who played Pablo's performance (as much as I could without understanding his dialogue.)
|
702666, So that was really, really good (SPOILERS) Posted by mrhood75, Sun Sep-13-15 07:09 PM
Probably up as there as one of the best seasons of anything NetFlix has done. Fascinating story that made Pablo and the Narcos interesting but not at all sympathetic. Oberyn Martell did a really good job as Pena as well. The M. 19 girl was pretty good too; I'm surprised that they stopped using her after halfway through the season.
A few issues tho:
1. The narration sometimes spoiled the scenes and killed the tension. I gave specific examples above, but the one that really bugged me the most was the raid to free the reporter.
2. The whole stuff about the takedown of Gacha/Luis Guzman. Probably most of it had to do with the introduction of Gacha's son; the kid was an awful actor, and the character was completely one-note. Then Gacha's revelation that his bodyguard was betraying him was treated like it was something that just then occurred to him and had no build up. Then all of Gacha and his son's interactions during Carillo's raid itself were extremely lame and forced. And the action, aside for the bazooka blast, was kind of lame. Really wish that had all been executed better, because Gacha was an interesting character.
But those are mostly minor quibbles. I really can't wait until next season. And I'm fascinated to see where it will go.

715370, So the second season went up today Posted by mrhood75, Fri Sep-02-16 11:01 AM
Hopefully I'll be able to plow through it during the long weekend.
|
715440, Anyone finish the second season yet? Posted by Numba_33, Tue Sep-06-16 12:48 PM
I won't post any spoilers, but I'm curious what folks think of what seems to be the new direction for the next season? That's assuming Netflix will in fact renew the show for another season.
|
715443, Halfway. Next season apparently focuses on Cali cartel Posted by j., Tue Sep-06-16 03:34 PM
What I appreciate about this season so far is Moura's much improved paisa accent it was atrocious during the first season But he must have practiced and it shows
Pablo's story has been told multiple times and we all know how it ends but aside from that Netflix has done it again the cinematography, the overhead shots, the Medellin slums maze mirroring the DEA and Colombian government attempts to catch him coming up short in dead ends and traps
Word is next season focuses on the Orejuela brothers Cali Cartel the gentleman traffickers While Pablo cultivated his "man of the people" image coming as he did from the slums The Cali brothers were upper class businessmen so of course they would clash They're not as famous as Pablo and Medellin, and that's how they wanted it It'll be interesting to see how they're portrayed
As for this season so far thank God Steve's wife bounced, her character adds nothing to the plot Meanwhile Tata is ready to draw heat while cooking up marvelous feasts and regulating on her in law, straight Colombiana style!
|
715457, **SPOILER WARNING** Posted by Numba_33, Wed Sep-07-16 08:06 AM
You are correct in that the future seasons will focus on the Cali Cartel. You are also correct in that Pablo Escobar's history is already out there, so it shouldn't be a big surprise this season is the end for him, but I didn't want to ruin the show for folks that haven't watched the season in full yet, hence me posting all the spoiler warnings.
I also read some blurbs online that Netflix renewed the show for two additional seasons, so it appears Netflix is all in with this show. Pretty interesting to want to continue with the show since Pablo was such a huge focal point and the Cali Cartel were in the background for the most part. I'm guessing the show will move to the US more since it appears the Cali Cartel operated a lot in the States, but I could be wrong. Should be interesting how the show will proceed since the show lost a huge star.
|
715479, Yeah I saw they're extending it into at least a 4th season Posted by Amritsar, Thu Sep-08-16 10:51 AM
I can see them going through the Cali cartel story, then eventually moving into the Mexican cartels
should be an interesting chronological look into the drug war
|
715586, I think focusing on the Cali Cartel is a mistake Posted by will_5198, Mon Sep-12-16 02:00 AM
Wagner Moura *was* the show. they need to find another central character as magnetic and interesting as him, and nobody currently on the Cali roster approaches that. they're all supporting cast.
|
715592, That's how it was in real life though Posted by j., Mon Sep-12-16 08:16 AM
Cali's whole steez was stay under the radar, no flash, no fucking airline bombings they followed Lopez advice to young broke Tony Montana word for word Unlike Pablo, they eventually did get caught by/ratted out to the DEA and are now in the feds Meanwhile Pablo was larger than life and he was a pig that didn't fly straight We pretty much didn't see a super villain super star drug lord since Pablo's demise until El Chapo
|
715464, I'm finished Posted by Laz aka Black Native, Wed Sep-07-16 01:15 PM
They got renewed for 2 seasons actually. Being that Escobar was just the beginning of this cartel stuff, I'm sure it will go into Mexican Cartels next after the Cali Cartel stuff.
|
715482, I've heard El Cartel de los Sapos is a good version Posted by SoulHonky, Thu Sep-08-16 12:06 PM
Of what happened post-Escobar.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_cartel_(TV_series)
Granted, an Uber driver told me but I'm trusting him. Not sure how to watch it.
I thought season 2 was fine. The new show sheen was off and it's a lot of the same thing which is kind of why I wish there was more on Los Pepes or one of the new elements. Or maybe more depth into Pablo's crew.

715582, Pena and Murphy Cameo Posted by Mageddon, Sun Sep-11-16 06:03 PM
That was them in the final episode, watching the basketball game and saluting the news, right?
|
715587, it’s damn entertaining almost in spite of itself. Posted by will_5198, Mon Sep-12-16 02:33 AM
S2 can’t rely on pure autobiography and newsreels to fill up 10 episodes, so the focus turns to how much the drug war, and the pursuit of an enemy, takes out of you.
nearly the entire cast has fallen in a hole so dark, they can’t even tell how deep it is. Pena loses his credibility on both sides. Murphy loses his family. Gaviria loses his decency. Carrillo loses his life. Pablo loses everything but his name, which I suppose was always most important -- here we are, two decades after his death, reminiscing about his life through 20 hours of TV.
the format, however, remains very pastiche. too many scenes ape a better drama, from Goodfellas to The Sopranos. and there’s those redundant plot points:
* “we’re about to catch Pablo…next episode” * political vs. populist push-pull on how to handle Pablo. * small vignette showing innocent person, which is an obvious prelude to them becoming a collateral casualty in the drug war
so yeah, entertaining binge-watching for a long week or weekend -- I look at the series as a vehicle for Wagner Moura, who was excellent (I couldn’t tell you about the accent) and worth watching on his own. too bad the rest of the material never really got close to his performance.
|
715594, The sole problems I had with this season Posted by Numba_33, Mon Sep-12-16 08:23 AM
were the scenes with Pablo day dreaming and those forced flashbacks towards the end when things were winding down; it was as if the show was forcing ways to draw out screen time for Escobar.
|
715649, love it but i wish it was more historically accurate Posted by makaveli, Wed Sep-14-16 02:27 PM
I understand that sometimes they make changes to benefit the story but sometimes it just seems like they make changes to make changes. Having said that, I really enjoyed it, looking forward to delving into the Cali cartel. It would be cool to see them get into the Mexican cartels or even go back to the Madrina story in future seasons. Pena and Pablo both did great acting jobs imo.

shit's getting insane now.
|
724672, Maybe it's because I haven't watched in a while Posted by Numba_33, Sun Sep-03-17 08:00 AM
but this feels like a much slower burn than the prior two seasons. I've seen the first five episodes so far and it's pretty masterful how they pivoted from the Escobar seasons to the Cali Cartel. Only one scene early on bothers me as I think about it, but pretty impressive stuff so far.
|
724676, which scene? Posted by Mynoriti, Sun Sep-03-17 01:38 PM
>Only one scene early on bothers me as I think >about it, but pretty impressive stuff so far.
|
724684, SPOILER OF COURSE Posted by Numba_33, Mon Sep-04-17 05:11 PM
SPOILER SPACE
I forget the episode, but the scene where the NYC boss shoots up the Dominican Beauty Parlor; I didn't buy him smuggling in those large automatic guns without those two hairdressers seeing them since the space was so small. A minor issue, but that took me out of that scene a little bit.
|
724685, LOL I had a feeling it would be that Posted by Mynoriti, Mon Sep-04-17 06:52 PM

>I have to watch the scene again but if they had on coats or a >big shirt they could easily tuck the heat underneath > >Ill scene regardless
The way the scene unfolded it appeared as if the gun was directly flush against the hair dresser smocks dude was wearing because the smock caught fire against the gun nozzle. If the guns were stashed under dudes clothes or even a jacket, the clothes or jacket would have caught on fire in addition to the smock..
|
724711, Right I got that, I mean off camera Posted by j., Tue Sep-05-17 02:51 PM
Like these 2 dudes walk in to the salon clearly they had the guns concealed not handguns either, I'm thinking mac 10 something like that so they sit down, the girl puts the smock on them obviously big enough to hide movement as they get the guns out and aim waiting for the dominicans
|
724690, I really enjoyed this season Posted by gumz, Tue Sep-05-17 08:24 AM
I was worried about missing Pablo but this season was full of compelling/well-acted characters. Pena came back and killed it...the two new DEA guys were pretty good...The Cali Dons were all awesome...Gilberto and Miguel were cool but Pacho and Chepe were def my favorites. I also really liked Jorge...the actor did a great job there. Overall a really strong season and a great way to show the continue corruption that occurred.
I hope Pena comes back for the Mexican Cartel seasons but it honestly wouldn't make sense for his arc but with him gone I wonder who will carry the show.

Gilberto was too cool for school! LMAO He thought they'd be able to just chill. Miguel was one of my favorites because of how his demeanor shifted due to others believing he was weak. Chepe was funny! I liked learning about Pacho's background and how he became the killer he was. Jorge is who I rooted for the whole season.
>I hope Pena comes back for the Mexican Cartel seasons but it >honestly wouldn't make sense for his arc but with him gone I >wonder who will carry the show.
Pena is certainly a beast. I think they set it up well for him to go into Juarez but I would not be surprised if they're able to find someone else who will do as great of a job as pena did.

>Jorge is who I rooted for the whole season.
It didn't bother you a little bit how the storyline for the Colombian Anderson Silva ended because of Jorge's action? The one thing I was curious about watching how was who made the double front pocketed short sleeve shirts he was wearing. There were about five or six episodes where he rocked those continuously; I'm guessing those were a big deal in Colombia at the time.
|
724740, Jorge was a good dude who wanted out... Posted by Creole, Wed Sep-06-17 11:44 AM
>>Jorge is who I rooted for the whole season. > >It didn't bother you a little bit how the storyline for the >Colombian Anderson Silva ended because of Jorge's action?
He really wasn't like any of those dudes. Necessity/survival put him a bad and awkward situation. And the DEA didn't help him by moving so slowly.

724697, Season 3 soundtrack and wardrobe= FUEGO Posted by j., Tue Sep-05-17 10:08 AM
DEA rockin Wu Wear NYC skyline shot with Come Clean playing Wild ass shootout as This Is How We Do It plays cartel henchmen on the warpath with Shook Ones bumpin all the women had the 90's look down
Then they mix in actual news footage with the scenes They got it 50% right on the casting though Dude who played Miguel looked like the real life one while Gilberto was way off not mad at all, Gilberto was the star of the season
first 5 eps do start out slow and full of tropes but halfway through it picks up the pace and the ending is perfect GREAT season, historically accurate and acting was on point

This current season apart from Cali kingpins touched on the AUC, even Castaño made a cameo. They did mention how AUC committed numerous massacres AUC demobilized, turned in their arsenal, and Castaño is free as a bird is he getting royalties? that would be foul

724775, im pretty sure they lose any legal ownership to those rights once convicted Posted by gumz, Sat Sep-09-17 03:38 PM

724765, small detail i thought was gonna be significant Posted by Mynoriti, Fri Sep-08-17 07:45 PM
Whenever Jorge left his house, he'd pull on the gate next to his steps. I guess to make sure it was locked. I thought for sure that was gonna come into play, but i guess it was just a character tic.

724771, I interpreted that as typical Colombian/Latino superstition ritual Posted by calij81, Sat Sep-09-17 01:34 AM
He wasn't doing that to check if something was locked, it was a superstitious ritual/nervous tick that he had to do everytime he left the house.
I thought it would come into play in that he was so stressed out that he would forget to do it one day and that would be the nod/hint that he was going to get got in that episode.

724980, Pablo's brother threatens Netflix, advises them to hire hitmen Posted by j., Thu Sep-21-17 09:15 AM
On Monday, Escobar’s 71-year-old surviving brother, Roberto De Jesus Escobar Gaviria, issued a chilling threat to the makers of the series, advising them to hire "hitmen ... as security" on location in Mexico.
Escobar threatened to "close their little show" if the streaming giant failed to provide a $1 billion payment to his company, Escobar Inc., for alleged intellectual property violations.
“I don't want Netflix or any other film production company to film any movies in Medellin or Colombia that relates to me or my brother Pablo without authorization from Escobar Inc. It is very dangerous. Especially without our blessing. This is my country,” Escobar told The Hollywood Reporter.
His remarks came after Carlos Muñoz Portal, a location scout for the new series of Narcos was found shot dead under unexplained circumstances last week along a dirt road in Mexico State.
In his interview, Escobar added, "Netflix are scared. They sent us a long letter to threaten us."

This series is depicting real dangerous people with real stories using their real names We often complain about Hollywood fictionalizing real events, there's a reason for that NGCCOT

724995, I remember when Eme shot a few people behind American Me Posted by Mynoriti, Fri Sep-22-17 01:52 AM
and killed at least one. All because it showed one of them getting raped.
Word was Olmos had to make a payment
|
725001, yeah they put a green light on him and he had to pay up Posted by j., Fri Sep-22-17 09:52 AM
The one time where he should've kept it real and filmed what actually happened (the real Santana wasn't raped and was killed by the northerners not his own people)
|
725005, yup. also showed him not being able to get it up Posted by Mynoriti, Fri Sep-22-17 01:36 PM
unless he went cell style
no way he doesn't look back on that period like ..the fuck was i thinking?
