    Wow! Just Wow!!

    If you thought breaking bad was great and narcos was greater, here comes the greatest. I am amazed how there is not even a single review for this so far. The tale is so gripping and dramatic, it doesn't require any dramatisation. I am half way through it and will recommend it to any narcos or breaking bad fans. Just start watching, I promise you won't be able to leave your seat. This stuff cannot be scripted. If ever there was a tale that proved that Fact is stranger than Fiction, this is it. Thanks NatGeo.

    Outstanding

    Best narco documentary on television today.

    There has not been a documentary in recent memory which exposes the global landscape of narcotrafficing and organized crime from its inception up to NOW - 2021.

    Long overdue and the first two seasons are executed absolutely brilliantly - outstanding 10/10.

    Cannot wait for future seasons! Highly recommend.

    Re-writing history for feminism

    If you know anything about cocaine's history, you know that Pablo Escobar was the man in the 70's and 80's who brought Cocaine to the US. He was the reason cocaine took off. However, this documentary gives all the credit to Griselda Blanco and makes Pablo a footnote at least in the first episode. This is hilarious considering Griselda got her cocaine from Pablo. Crowning her the Queen and stating that once she was out of the picture, that's when Pablo took off. This is categorically false, as Pablo's reign was near it's end when Griselda was incacerated and as stated before, he was the reason for cocaine taking off, not Griselda "The Queen".
