Narcos [Netflix] ***Spoilers ****

Doltanian

I've the first four episodes now watched and despite the initial disappointment of Episode 1 it has begun to redeem itself and Episode 4 was great.

Andrea Londo's character of Maria Salazar is very interesting and definitely takes over from Pablo's Tata as the main babe of this series. I'm starting to pickup a few additional Spanish words from it too

I noticed there is a Lorenzo O'Brien as a producer on the show.

Just finished watching, was brilliant.

inforfun

Watched all 10 episode yesterday and now ....

I'm up to episode 7

I'd give it a 7.5/10,

A little too routine for me to score it higher.

Finished it this morning and was highly impressed with it.

+1 watched over the weekend - really enjoyable.

Poor Miguel never got to relax in any of his safehouses

Lucky for Salsedo though he did such a poor job of finishing him off

Routine enough, but enjoyable I thought

I would have liked to see something unexpected happening during the season

ricero

Did not think that this show would be as good without pablo but if anything season 3 is the best of the series so far.

Fantastic television and some great performances

johnpatrick81

Really enjoying it too. ^ Agreed it might be better than the first 2. Only 3 episodes to go. I think they shoulda renamed the season Narcos - Ultimate Hide n Seek Cali Edition! :pac:

Pelvis

Highly enjoyed this season, got off to a slow start but from around episode 3/4 it was consistently brilliant.

It doesn't look like there'll be a 4th season, but it's open ended either way. Ya never know!

Pelvis

And just to add, the Spanish language is absolutely beautiful, could listen to it all day.

Really? It looked like it would take a trip up north to focus on Mexico next season?

johnpatrick81

I thought it was already confirmed for season 4

Doltanian

Finished it today and it finished great, lots of tension and I hope they make a fourth season. It would be worth watching, imagine Narcos meets Breaking Bad type of a situation. It was very different to season 2 I felt which was better than season 3. There was far less killing and gore I felt in season 3 and alot less sex scenes also. Season 2 still gets my vote but despite my initial misgivings it turned out pretty decent.

ElNino

Interesting interview with the show runner here with a good bit of speculation about season 4, which has been confirmed. Don't read it until you have finished season 3 as it contains spoilers.It sounds like there is a good chance that Season 4 will be based in Mexico with a whole new cast if Pena doesn't return.

johnpatrick81

I had fears about the 2 new American lads, but they really grew on me. Would be nice to see them stick around.

dirtyden

Although the Escobar story was more interesting I thought this series was superior. Really enjoyed it, especially Pacho.

Irish_rat

Best show going at the minute, season 3 really is gripping every episode.

Neamhshuntasach

It was intentional why the show was called Narcos and not something linked to Escobar. Binge watched season 3 over a 12 hour flight. Very strong season and such a great show.

marklazarcovic

Pedro Paschal is absolutely brilliant in season 3 ,best of the 3 seasons for me.

Doltanian

I've just started watching El Chapo which runs on a similar theme and actually involves Pablo also. El Chapo is entirely in Spanish however.

Cina

Andrea Londo... Sweet baby Jeebus! :eek:

charlie_says

Went so far into fantasy land in Season 2.

Where was the Search Bloc? Where was Delta? Deals with the Americans and the many raids gone wrong against PE....the book was such great source material how could the writers go their own way? A real waste.

Probably won't bother with the last season now.

Season 3 is very good, defo worth your time.

GottaGetGatt

Season 3 has been excellent. Great performances all around. Only the last episode to watch tonight.

Ardent

Just finished season 3. The best of the series and really enjoyed it. F*cking A, as the DEA agents would say.

jayo26

Same here only got around to finishing it now.

There was times when I missed the Escobar story I think Gilberto had potential to be as interesting as Escobar they could of easily got two seasons out if the brothers how they built up the empire and focus on the personalities but overall it was an excellent series again.

I really hated David in it.

johnpatrick81

Haha he really does have the most punchable face in a long time, doesn't he!(David)

the show is called narcos, it can go in several directions, id be thinking next season will be about the north valley cartel and after that possibly moving to mexico

Was David Michael Rodrigues son? Absolutely hated him.

The term "A face only a mother could love" suits him perfectly.

Wasn't sure initially about him until the restaurant incident with Jorge Salseado and his wife!

Pelvis

A location scout for the new season of narcos has been found shot to death in Mexico.

Ferris_Bueller

Really enjoyed the third season, was unsure after the first 2 or 3 episodes but it picked up a lot and was arguably the best season of the lot! Jorge Salcedo was such a likeable character and I think my main interest was in seeing what would happen with him and his family.

The Moleman

It has been a couple of months since I watched Season One or any other titles on Netflix that contain English subtitles.

What is the subtitle text on the AppleTV app supposed to be like? I remember it being blocky and yellow, but today for a few minutes when I started Season Two there was no subtitles when characters spoke Spanish, then I got a playback error and when I restarted the episode the subtitles were back but the text is now small and white, like when closed captions is active.

Is my memory mistaken or am I right that the subtitles should be yellow?

You can control how they look on the website.

Yes I know but I was looking for confirmation of how they appear by default on AppleTV

"Narcos" star Pedro Pascal is riding the wave of popularity, yet he says the Netflix show can't go on unless there's a way of protecting cast and crew.

We got Pedro -- who plays DEA agent Javier Peña -- out at LAX Sunday and asked about the respected location scout who was murdered in an area near Hidalgo.

As we reported ... Carlos Muñoz Portal's body was found earlier this month riddled with bullets. Muñoz was scouting in Mexico for season 4 ... where Peña zeroes in on the Mexican drug cartels.

The way Pedro sees it, everyone's a target now, so something has to be done.

...................

Guess the Mexican cartels don't want it made.

Finished it at the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Pleasantly surprised that there was no dip in quality from the first two series.

Belt

Just finished it. Watched it in a week or so, best season yet for me.

JimmyMcGill

Started it last Monday week at 22.25 . Finished it at 6.50 am the following morning at work at 9.00 after an hours sleep.Worst pain in my head ever. Worth it though :-)

I've four episodes of Season #3 remaining. Really enjoying it and it's the better than the previous two seasons.

Did that with season 1 of The Sopranos


I'd never seen it and my flatmate picked it up on DVD and stuck it on. Next thing we knew it was 8 hours later :eek:

Woah I thought I did good watching 7 episodes in a row but that was on a Sunday.....

The high horse brigade

Season 3 was slow to start but it certainly made up for it. Best one so far. I'm hoping they do ahead with a fourth

Noo

I love that there is some fabulous Columbian woman out there somewhere who is milking the role of a lifetime! She'll be showing the clip of her jiggly arse running across the screen for years to come :-D

dastardly00

Finally got around to watching the last two episodes of Season 3 yesterday.
It was great; my favourite season so far.

The Black Oil

I enjoyed the third season and how they built it. Sometimes close to getting their man only for legal/political interference or corruption to get in the way. I like how they use some real life footage, but not overly so. Having Pena at the helm helps too, of course. Quietly confident as a show.

Agent Coulson

Michael Pena and Diego Luna are joining the cast for season 4.
