There’s no artificial cliffhanger to mull over. As the final credits roll, you’re left to sit back in slack-jawed wonderment at a self-contained story of the highest order. ... Season 3 is one of the best seasons of television.
A series that seeks to offer a unique perspective into an era many may not know about, a series grounded in enough humanity to elevate what might otherwise be easily stereotyped storytelling.

This is a one of the best tv series I have ever watched. I really like that they were able to fit the whole story into 3 seasons of 10 episodes. It makes every episode filled with story up to its brim. There is no episode that would give me the impression that it is just filler and this is especially true about season 3. The show shifts focus and shows new characters with incredible precision and great timing, the whole thing felt coherent even though it shifted its focus on different things and character stories during its story. The combination of fictionalized story and real world events are in perfect balance and I think they support each other really well. It gives a lot lore too because you can read about lot of the things online after you see them happen in the show. But beware doing this may lead to some spoilers! It is really neutral when it comes to showing each side of the story and I think that is one of the best decisions the producers did. It does not make the "bad guys" look like victims it shows that they are real people with personality and some intentions. This is no ordinary crime drama, if you like good looking cinematic crime solving definitely watch Narcos.

If that seemed like bravado at the time, the third season of Narcos has demonstrated that it's capable of reloading, recasting and, dramatically speaking, delivering the same high.
The omniscient-narrator device works very well for a complex story spanning many years and varied sets of players.
Without [Escobar] there’s a gaping hole. So allow yourself to be mesmerized and appalled at one of the most outrageous true crime dramas ever filmed.
The sense of desperation among all the characters is heightened; the stakes are higher; the politics more sordid. Other aspects of the series, however, have remained disappointingly the same.
There are potent and provocative ideas that lie frustratingly dormant throughout this series, which seems to be just happy to play a competent but only occasionally compelling Michael Mann riff.
Literally one of the greatest Adapted Biography Show Ever!Each and every episode is well adapted!the music was phenomenal so does the intro it was **** language at start took little time to adjust with subtitles although i was well connected to the show that Doesn't matter after a while.every criminal arrest with the real footage was **** acting is literally Iconic every character was perfect as there role specially the Escobar he was **** team of DEA with Murphy and Pena they both were **** starting 2 season were about the Detailed life of Escobar the up's and down's and the way to arrest him it was quite great how they portrayed it was intense and **** 3rd season felt a step ahead with more Nail-biting twist and jaw-dropping intense situations it was hell of season,the story-line as per biography is well packed no extra things just point to point direction it was professionally awesome.Overall this series is literally surprising and Masterpiece it's really one of the greatest Biography show!

I've heard a lot of praise for Narcos from a lot of people. I put it off for a long time, but I finally got around to it. I'm speechless. Especially when it comes to seasons 1 and 2. The lead actor Wagner Moura, who portrayed Pablo himself, was absolutely excellent in my opinion. But apart from him, I would also praise the overall cast. The camera work is excellent. Cinematic, interesting. Sometimes switches to real footage in places. Gradually there starts to be a gradation and then it gets pretty damn exciting. Not only is it fun to watch, but it's helped greatly by the fact that it's a series based on a true story, so that adds a lot to the final impression. I could rant on here for a long time about how much Narcos did well, but unfortunately I have to nitpick a little or just mention it. Why? Because it's already without Pablo Escobar, who pulled the whole series for me and he was the one who made me watch the other episodes. But unfortunately, that is no longer the case in the last series and I had to, shall we say, overcome myself and force myself to finish it. Was the last series bad? It wasn't. Not at all. It was downright brilliant, and again I have to take my hat off to the excellently filmed episodes. It's just, was the series entertaining? That's another matter. Personally, while I liked it, I was also not entertained and not tempted to know what would happen next. In short, for me, the last series, although great, was just unnecessary. Overall, though, this is an amazing series that I recommend. Especially to fans of crime and mostly Escobar.
