Chronicled the drug war between US (Reagan & GW Bush) and Colombian governments and the infamous narcos, led by Pablo Escobar who went from a small time smuggler to drug kingpin. We learned bits and pieces of the history in media now and then. It is good to have them in a single series. Bonus is that most of the film was shot in Bogotá though more of its culture outside the narcos' circle would have been nice. Critics: 8.9/10 IMDb, 84% Rotten Tomatoes, 77/100 Metacritic. Netflix takes on the infamous Medellín drug cartel in "Narcos," which follows the rise and fall of Colombian kingpin Pablo Escobar and the Drug Enforcement Agency agents hunting him. The story is told largely from the points of view of Escobar, played by Brazilian actor Wagner Moura, and U.S. DEA Agent Steve Murphy (Boyd Holbrook), on opposite sides of what would become an all-out war.
