    Don't see a thread on this
    One of Netflix latest, humm, dubbed which I hate, just give us the Spanish-we can read subtitles you know.

    Aside from that it's like Narcos,without the heavy hit. We are introduced to El Chapo,hes a lower level lad that does a big thing episode one then the next 5 episodes are about the fuzz catching up with him...firing money around but no sense of what it's all for
    A poor man's Narcos IMO, I feel invested now but turns out there Are 4 more episodes yet to air on NF.
    Am travelling with work at the moment and have the next few downloaded so will probably stick with

    Will let ye know if it gets better, for now it's a 4/10

    The original audio is available as well isn't it?

    Watching season 3

    They could reasonably have titled it the "manhunt for el chapo"

    Not bad as these chase dramas go but tedious enough when you're halfway through

    Just finished season 2 which I thought was epic. Action packed from start to finish. I'm watching in spanish with subs

    Just finished season 1. Not as good as the Narcos series, but alright. Had to laugh at how much his hair grew when he was in solitary for 4 months. He went in with a short cropped haircut and came out with a year's worth of growth.

    Wait till you get to season 3 :D

    I finished it last night. It's decent considering the story is set on real events they need to make the most of. I enjoyed it, definitely would recommend.

    I've watched it all, thought it was really good.

    Crazy to think a lot of this is real life in the very recent past.

    Conrado Sol is such a great character*
    i was almost disappointed when i googled him after finishing the show to find out he didn't exist but was actually a composite of real life politicians

    I'm glad now I googled Emma Coronel Aispuro instead :p

    Yeah decent enough. Thought the theme song was excellent.

    First two seasons were fairly high quality, kind of fell off a cliff for the final season...not a patch on Narcos though.
