Narcos

I've been enthralled with the Netflix series Narcos recently. It follows Pablo Escobar, the other Colombian cartel drug lords, the DEA, various politicians, and really does the best job of giving a holistic approach of telling the story of the massive war on cocaine in 80's. The name Pablo Escobar has always meant cocaine and crazy money to me. Growing up just after he was finally killed I've tried to watch various things and read a little bit about him and how massive his criminal empire was. He is super fascinating. The acting in the series is superb. The quality is excellent from top to bottom. The story is as interesting as any you can watch. I have no clue on how truly historically accurate everything is, but you certainly believe they've done their due diligence. The series tracks the beginnings of Pablo Escobar from being a smuggler of stolen goods and marijuana and how he became the largest cocaine kingpin the world has ever seen (I'm pretty sure anyway). I'm also secretly hoping the series brings back chest hair as something that's cool again. Bottom Line: 9.3 out of 10. I've been a fan of pretty much everything that I've seen with it and I can't watch it fast enough.
