Sweeping in scope, the series remains as addictive as ever in chronicling the bleak history of the drug war, delivering a drama so crisp and smartly executed as to provide its own kind of high.
Though it wanders in its middle episodes, Narcos: Mexico remains a finely written drama that loves to wow us with facts and maps even more than twists born from violent turns (which are, nevertheless, exceptionally effective). It’s smart, dense, and has a flare for the dramatic that keeps each episode interesting (and will have you, once again, running to Wikipedia to compare characters and events to their real-life counterparts).

Continues where Narcos Columbia left off and just keeps rolling. Amazing cast and acting from Diego Luna makes you feel like you are right in this world with them. Incredibly detailed show that really makes you feel like you are spoiled to be able to experience it. Only negative like the original and most Netflix productions a little bloated and too long to keep you 100% engaged at all times

It hard to "just say no" to this absorbing series. [26 Nov - 9 Dec 2018, p.9]
The result is a season that, through its first five episodes, makes enough of its fresh faces and characters to avoid boredom and yet is still resolutely and successfully Narcos in its DNA.
Ultimately, though the episodes are lengthy (each lasting at least a full hour), the pacing is taught; historically we may know the outcome, but there is enough charm and uncertainty to the way Narcos: Mexico crafts its story to keep things consistently interesting and compelling.
Narcos: Mexico will keep you guessing--and watching. With his fierce dark eyes and focused intensity, Pena is an excellent choice to play the intrepid Kiki, whose trajectory kicks off the modern-day drug war between Mexico and the US. As Gallardo, the slightly built Mexican actor Diego Luna has an entirely different vibe than the imposing Moura.
Both Peña (crisp, lean, and authoritative), and Luna are fine actors, of course. But the Narcos formula hems them both in here, leaving them playing men either too one-note in the perpetually pissed-off Kiki’s case, or wanly inconsistent in Félix’s. ... As ever, the narration fills in the gaps and drops klutzy exposition with seen-it-all, wiseass gringo perspective. It helps that, in Narcos: Mexico, it’s the effortlessly charismatic Scoot McNairy.
Niezły... nawet to wszystko kupy i dupy sie trzyma... ciekawe czy będzie kolejna rozbudowa serialu o historię el mayo tym razem.

I completely agree with the viewers ratings on this one. Narcos is better than Narcos: Mexico. The pace is slower. I feel like theyre stretching the story nevertheless, a good must-see drama series.
