A Brilliant, Authentic Portrayal of Colombian Drug Cartels in 1980s - Narcos: Series 1 review by PV
This is yet another superb TV drama from Netflix, which highlights just haw mediocre terrestrial TV drama by the BBC and ITV is, with its endless woke preachiness.
Here we have a superb drama all about Pablo Escobar drug lord of the 1980s cartel which more or less ran Colombia. The actor portraying him nails it utterly as do all others.
The writing is brilliant, the pace, the plot points. I loved the way some was in Spanish - and this drama may even be watched by the sort of person who usually refuses to watch movies with subtitles.
The inclusion of real news footage of the time was a stroke of genius too.
Music is brilliant, esp the theme tune - a Spanish love song lasting 90 seconds only, which I now cannot get out of my head.
I cannot wait for series 2. BRILLIANT. 5 stars. In the same top league as Breaking Bad and The Americans.,
