Cannot take Ken Cosgrove seriously as a DEA agent.

Would it help if he wore an eye patch?

But the CIA ordering the death of a DEA agent and over watching his torture and death? That is a huge accusation.

I don't believe the CIA ordered a hit, but after reading how they had free reign during that decade, I'm sure they had intel they didnt share. And even if they weren't involved directly, what happen in Central America has been documented. No one believed Freeway when he declared himself a pawn in the entire Iran-Contra affair.

I don't want to derail this myself, and without giving too much away, they do allude to the Central American situation in an episode. I feel this was the 3rd best season, there's a lot they can cover heading into the late 80s and 90s. Its providing a broad prospective to the drug war.

Excellent season. Brought back a lot of memories about Kiki Camarena from when I was a kid in the Valley.

Narcos delivers once again.

Great season. Some of the story lines were hard to follow, but the twists and turns of this season were great.

The greatness of this show is that it is not tied to one character. No Pena, No Escobar...no problem. Show keeps getting better

I think a good measure of that is just the reality that they have exceptionally high quality material to work with. Compelling subject matter makes for great television in the right hands.

I'm four episodes in and this Rafi character is easily one of the best in the whole series.

Wait until he and Don Neto hang out jumping around. That whole scene made me laugh way too hard.

Through episode 5 of this season, don't like it nearly as much as the previous 3.

Huge fan of this season. Characters very good and I think this season is as good as the first season. Greatness.

I liked this season the best out of any. Maybe because being in Texas and so close to what has happened this one was more relatable. Thought the actor who played Angel did an amazing job. So many guys that became separate Cartel leaders and how they began was pretty cool to see.

Anybody got a general idea of how well this adheres to true events? I don't know this story very well at all compared to the Escobar one. I'm afraid to look anything up because I don't want to spoil any of it for myself.

It's fairly accurate at least as to who the key players were and the major events.

I was really hoping they would have a cameo of Angel Felix or Chapo meeting Escobar as this is taking place in the same time period that the Guadalajara Cartel started doing business with the Medellin Cartel.

Felix did meet Escobar in episode 5 or 6. If you haven't watched it that far yet, and read this spoiler, then I apologize.

Yep! And a few other guys you'd recognize too.

I had the great experience of meeting Javi and Murphy a few months ago. They both said the episodes on Pablo were pretty true to life, but the real story was even more violent.An example they gave was Pablo was having a big party and one of the waiters spilled something. For entertainment they tied the waiters' feet and hands and threw him in the pool. People stood around drinking and watched him drown. Season 3 had Javi in it but in reality he was not involved in taking down the Cali cartel. Javi lives here in San Antonio.

Excellent season. Loved them all but each for different reasons.
Great to the beginnings of El Chapo- especially since his trial is in the news right now.

And dude who played Rafa was fantastic!

Were you really going to feed me to the hippos?
No, hippos don't like Mexicans either

This season felt more like a drama while the prior seasons for more like a dramatized documentary, probably because the lake of interjection by the narrator and historical video. I wasn't really feeling it through the first few episodes but bythe finale I couldn't get enough. I thought it was very well done.

My one complaint is Felix's infidelity really seemed to come out of nowhere. The whole season he appears faithful through his interactions with Isabella but then we are hit with all these women who he's apparently been seeing.

I thought Mexico was great and probably better than season 3 with Cali.

I really am stoked for the new season based on this one and how it ended

Agree with this. I was wondering where in the hell that came from.

Just getting into this show, awesome! I'm sure this has been stated, but the guy's voice who narrates it was driving me nuts trying to figure out who it was. Finally looked it up; Gordon from Halt and Catch Fire. Dammit, I should have known that!

Yeah, this was outstanding tv. One of my top 3 on Netflix. Really well done.

I'm an idiot. Starting watching Narcos last week and realized that Narcos Mexico is actually the 4th season. Should I even go back and watch seasons 1-3?

In other news, the chick that Felix went to Columbia with, dang.
