    peña?

    I enjoyed the episode and love how they represent the dealers with all their greediness and avidity: money, sex, power. And in the other side they have the police who try to get the drug dealers with all their strategy. I think its pretty classic but pretty effective. Its tense. Interesting and we know more about Escobar in his life. Nice one. Need to see more.

    Narcos Season 1 Episode 2

    It wasn't as great as the pilot but still a good 40 minutes of television. I am noticing that Pedro Pascal's character might become a main character and I'm cool with that because his performance has been great! Other than that I can't wait to watch the new episode.

    Natural and pure.

    What I like in this series is Character development. Both sides have given enough time to develop themeselves. It is a good drama to watch out.

      When DEA Agent Steve Murphy and his wife are in the airport in Bogota, the officials make copies of his passport. The machine they are using for this is a 2010 + model, not right for the 70s/80s.

      Pablo Escobar: [looking at piles of cash] This is the problem?

      Gustavo Gaviria: People are watching us, Pablo. They're asking themselves how two small businessmen suddenly came up with so much cash.

      Pablo Escobar: Gustavo, brother... just launder the money. Make it look legitimate, that's all. Isn't that what Al Capone did?

      Gustavo Gaviria: Al Capone?

      Pablo Escobar: Al Capone.

      Gustavo Gaviria: You're a dumbass, Pablo. Al Capone is a terrible example.

      Pablo Escobar: Why?

      Gustavo Gaviria: Because Al Capone never had this much cash.
