Narcos Season 3 |OT| Going Back to Cali - Netflix 9/1
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
Two things:
1) It's Colombia.
2) The exact opposite -- it only makes the story more important to tell.
I just finished season 3 which was awesome. Started out a bit weak for me, but it ended up good. David was my most hated character, guy was a complete piece of shit.
Can't wait to see what they do with the next season.

Anyone want a Chepe spinoff in New York? That would be amazing, I absolutely love the actor.
Yes, please. Pepe Rapazote was great. I loved his voice.

This was a great season. Jorge Salcedo was a really good character. One of the few who had a conscience in all 3 seasons. The tension was much greater this season than the previous seasons. More twists as well.

Just finished this, personally I thought this was the best season. Just a great, tightly written package and the last couple of episodes was some of the most tense shit i've seen from a television series. The godfathers weren't as compelling as Wagner Moura's portrayal of Pablo, but they were still pretty good. Chepe and Pacho in particular were great. I couldn't stop cheering when
Pascal was great in this and I hope he comes back even if they have to fictionalize it, I like the comparisons his character has with Eliot Ness.
David and his pals got clipped in the drive by.

Most unexpected line from the show:
"You upgrade to Windows 95 yet?"

Finished season 3.
Narcos is definitely my favorite active show on TV along with Game of Thrones. I really like that Narcos is taking The Wire approach with the story telling. Yes Narcos isn't quite as deep as The Wire but I like how it changes its focus and shines a light on something new each season with significant cast changeover. Very few shows are bold enough to do that.
Escobar was such an amazing character, it's hard to top that. Probably season 2 is my favorite, but season 3 is right up there. Jorge was a great character and I was rooting for him the whole time. Pepi and Pacho were also great "villains".
I think my only criticism of season 3 is that it felt a little "small" compared to the first two seasons. Seasons 1 & 2 the action took place over a wide variety of locations. For some reason in season 3, the last 4-5 episodes it felt like we were just watching Miguel in various tower penthouses. There was still a lot of tension, but the action just felt more small scaled compared to the prior seasons. But that probably has to do more with the Cali Cartel trying to keep a low profile for the most part while Escobar was an outright terrorist bombing airplanes and buildings.

6 episodes in, liking it so far.
That Salcedo guy, when he was speaking English, I had to do a double take. "That guy fucking sounds Swedish..." had to stop the show and check IMDB, sure enough, born in Stockholm haha. God damn it can be so easy to spot at times
Edit: Also pretty cool they've got both Colin Farrell and Wil Wheaton parts, didn't know they could speak Spanish so well.

Been binging this over the past few weeks and it's such a great show, not sure why I didn't jump on this sooner.
On S3 now and I'm enjoying it a lot still. Not sure any one character can match Wagner Moura's presence, but the Cali cartel together is a solid antagonist. Especially Pacho and Pepe. And Salcedo is a really interesting character as well.
Wish Murphy wasn't gone, but at least we still have Pedro Pascal. Really love him in this after only knowing him from Game of Thrones.

Didn't expect it but S3 was damn good.Like really really good.
Understanding spanish really gives it another layer of awesomeness. Chapeau to the people who cast all the guys. Outstanding performances while some of them even looked pretty close to the real ones.
Only tiny nitpick was how easily (mid season spoiler]
Special shoutout to corny Navegante.
