📖 Synopsis
Narcos chronicles the rise and fall of the Medellín Cartel through the eyes of DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Peña, stationed in Colombia to dismantle Pablo Escobar's operation.

Wagner Moura delivers a convincing portrayal of Escobar in all his facets: family man, populist politician, and ruthless killer. One of Netflix's landmark productions that defined the tone of prestige Latin American television.
✍️ Our review
9.4/10★★★★★
Narcos effectively blends docudrama and thriller elements. Wagner Moura's performance as Escobar is magnetic, and Murphy's narration provides an American perspective without romanticizing the drug lord. Compelling, even if some historical details are taken with creative license.
