  1. Narcos - Mexico (2018) review: A dark but beautiful piece.@richardalexis1679d

    My relationship with the series has always been quite toxic and elitist, it is something that I am not proud of and I constantly try to improve. The world is full of wonderful series and many times we ignore it.

    I have not seen the Money Heist, Elite or Squid Game (Spanish and Korean, respectively), but I understand that although their artistic value is low, they could become very entertaining if given the opportunity.

    I mention all this because I feel that for the general public it is easy to put “Narcos” (And Narcos - Mexico) in the same bag, mainstream series that offer a lot of fun but pale in front of the true classics: Mad Men, The Wire, The Sopranos. For me it is a perfect example because, beyond our prejudices, it turns out that Narcos is a brilliant series, both artistically and recreationally.

    For those who do not know it, Narcos could be defined as a chronicle about drug trafficking that intelligently mixes the gringo style with Latin American cultural elements. The first part (Focused mainly on Colombian history) followed the story of Pablo Escobar, one of the greatest criminals in the world, as well as those who succeeded him: The Cali cartel.

    After a smooth transition in the third season that at the same time made Narcos Mexico an isolated series, we have had the opportunity to become familiar with this piece of North America that has been plagued with so much drugs and violence for so many years.

    To speak of Narcos as a glamorization of this world is a totally ignorant comment, not because this life full of crime and excesses is not presented with style, but because all the consequences that it implies are portrayed very crudely.

    Narcos from its beginnings has been full of great stars: Pedro Pascal had a lot of recognition for his role as an FBI agent and now we have actors of the stature of Diego Luna and Michael Peña. It is a visually striking and culturally rich series that knows how to take the appropriate creative liberties to reinforce its own messages and keep things entertainingly paced.

    Narcos is a meaty product that shines the spotlight on a very painful portion of Latino history, but at the same time does it out of respect.

    Mi relación con las series siempre ha sido bastante tóxica y elitista, es algo que no me orgullese y constantemente trato de mejorar. El mundo está plagado de series maravillosas y muchas veces lo ignoramos.

    No he visto la Casa de Papel, Elite o Squid Game (Españolas y Coreanas, respectivamente), más entiendo que aunque su valor artístico es escaso podrían llegar a ser muy entretenidas si le diera la oportunidad.

    Menciono todo esto porque siento que para el público general es fácil poner a “Narcos” (Y a Narcos - Mexico) dentro del mismo saco, series mainstream que ofrecen mucha diversión pero palidecen frente a los verdaderos clásicos: Mad Men, The Wire, The Sopranos. Para mi es un ejemplo perfecto porque más allá de nuestros prejuicios resulta que Narcos si es una serie brillante, tanto en lo artístico como en recreativo.

    Para aquellos que la desconozcan Narcos podría definirse como una crónica sobre el tráfico de drogas que mezcla de manera inteligente el estilo gringo con elementos culturales latinoamericanos. La primera parte (Enfocada principalmente a la historia Colombiana) siguió la historia de Pablo Escobar, uno de los criminales más grandes de todo el mundo, así como de quienes le sucedieron: El cartel de Cali.

    Luego de una fluida transición en la tercera temporada que a la vez hizo de Narcos Mexico una serie aislada, hemos tenido la oportunidad de familiarizarnos con este pedazo de Norteamérica qué ha estado plagado de tantas drogas y violencia durante tantos años.

    Hablar de Narcos como una glamourizacion de este mundo es un comentario totalmente ignorante, no porque esta vida llena de crimen y excesos no sea presentada con estilo, sino porque también se retratan con mucha crudeza todas las consecuencias que implica.

    Narcos desde sus inicios ha estado plagado de grandes estrellas: Pedro Pascal tuvo mucho reconocimiento por su rol de agente del FBI y ahorita tenemos actores de la talla de Diego Luna o Michael Peña. Se trata de una serie visualmente impactante y culturalmente rica, que sabe tomarse las libertades creativas adecuadas para reforzar sus propios mensajes y hacer que todo tenga un ritmo entretenido.

    Narcos es un producto sustancioso que pone los reflectores sobre una porción muy dolorosa de la historia latina, pero al mismo tiempo lo hace desde el respeto.

    There is a moment in the second season of Narcos: Mexico in which the series has a shudder, redeems itself, redefines what has been shown so far. We are in the final bars of the last episode and agent Breslin is finally face to face with villain, the monster chased for a long time. Miguel Angel is there. Narcos eyes in the eye with the DEA. Evil versus good. Savages versus cowboys. Fools versus wise men. Light versus dark. Everything Miguel Angel will say will not only eliminate all these dichotomies, as if they were still needed, but will project a greater evil, almost absolute beyond the eyes of poor Breslin and the hypocritical and morally corrupt American society and administration. Beyond the Mexican Federation imagined by Miguel Angel, the boss of bosses, there is total and totalizing war. Once the unifying dream of Despot Gallardo is dead, what is about to be born is an empire of independent Narcos who will soon shed blood everywhere, inject the streets with blood and poison, flood America with white gold, do business with even more powerful men and tear down every border, sowing terror until then confined within small villages and small feuds. Agent Camarena is dead, it is true. Many have died. It is true. Many have taken a bribe. It is true. But what happened is only a small drop compared to what will happen next. It's the birth of the cartels. The bloody, violent Mexican cartels. In an instant, what we've seen for 10 episodes takes on a different meaning. Miguel Angel Gallardo appears to us different, less dangerous, less monstrous. Agent Breslin harmless, harmless, confused, faded. And so do the two "factions", America and the drug trade. The first guascona, apparently strong, determined but basically on the side of the Narcos being the first user and the first world importer of drugs. The second is increasingly strong, rich, decisive. 2 sides of the same coin that will be destined to clash more and more in a war that will never end because there are too many interests at stake, too many similarities between 2 faces so different and yet so convergent. Officers, petty traffickers, young and deluded policemen, some useless boss will die. The power of drugs will remain immense, the actors will change, but nothing will change.

    For the rest, Narcos' season was beautiful, enjoyable and over the top. Often too much romanticized, often too tender with the Mexican and Colombian "bad guys" but overall successful.

    C'è un momento nella seconda stagione di Narcos: Mexico in cui la serie ha un sussulto, si riscatta, ridefinisce quanto mostrato sinora. Siamo alle battute finali dell'ultimo episodio e l'agente Breslin è finalmente faccia a faccia col villain, il mostro inseguito da tempo. Miguel Angel è li. I Narcos occhi negli occhi con la DEA. Il male vs il bene. I Selvaggi vs i cowboy. I Folli vs i saggi. La luce vs il buio. Tutto quello che Miguel Angel dirà non solo eliminerà tutte queste dicotomie, come se ce ne fosse ancora bisogno, ma proietterà un male più grande, quasi assoluto oltre gli sguardi del povero Breslin e dell'ipocrita e moralmente corrotta società e amministrazione americana. Oltre la Federazione messicana immaginata da Miguel Angel, dal boss dei boss, vi è la guerra totale e totalizzante. Morto il sogno unificatore del despota Gallardo quello che sta per nascere è un impero di Narcos indipendenti che ben presto spargeranno sangue ovunque, inietteranno le strade di sangue e veleno, inonderanno l'America di oro bianco, stringeranno affari con uomini ancora più potenti e abbatteranno ogni confine seminando il terrore fino ad allora confinanto entro piccoli villaggi ed entro piccole faide. L'agente Camarena è morto, è vero. Molti sono morti. E' vero. Molti si son fatti corrompere. E'vero. Quello che è accaduto è però solo una piccola goccia rispetto a quello che avverrà. E' la nascita dei cartelli. I violentissimi e sanguinosi cartelli messicani. In un attimo quanto visto per 10 episodi assume un senso diverso. Miguel Angel Gallardo ci appare diverso, meno pericoloso, meno mostruoso. L'agente Breslin innocuo, inoffensivo, confuso, sbiadito. E cosi anche le 2 "fazioni", America e mondo del narcotraffico. La prima guascona, apparentemente forte, decisa ma sostanzialmente dalla parte dei Narcos essendo primo consumatore e primo importatore mondiale di droga. La seconda sempre più forte, ricca, determinante. 2 facce della stessa medaglia che saranno destinate a scontrarsi sempre più in una guerra che non finirà mai proprio perchè troppi sono gli interessi in gioco, troppe le somiglianze tra 2 volti cosi diversi eppure cosi convergenti. Moriranno agenti, piccoli trafficanti, giovani e illusi poliziotti, qualche inutile boss. Il potere della droga resterà immenso, cambieranno gli attori ma nulla cambierà.

    Per il resto la stagione di Narcos è stata bella, godibile e sopra le righe. Spesso troppo romanzata, spesso troppo tenera con i "cattivoni" messicani e colombiani ma nel complesso riuscita.

  5. Narcos Mexico season 2 - The never-ending battle against drug cartels continues@dedicatedguy2316d

    The Mexican drug cartels are back and they are bigger than ever. If you don't know Narcos it is a Netflix series that has released 5 seasons so far, 3 of them about Colombian drug cartels, including Pablo Escobar, and the last 2 about Mexicans.

    The first 2 Narcos Mexico seasons are about the story of Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, the biggest drug lord of the 80s. Most of the dialogues with the Mexican actors are in Spanish so people who don't enjoy reading subtitles might have a hard time enjoying this series.

    The plot is based on real-life facts, it follows the same pattern of events in the battle against these cartels. The acting is very well-done, with good shots and very decent action scenes. In this season, we see Felix Gallardo struggling to keep his organization and plans going, he must face the consequences of the major decision he took in the previous season and maybe he might have overplayed his hand.

    Being a series about Mexican drug dealers it naturally has a lot of yelling, insults, and violence. These cartels have enough money to pretty much control Mexico so American agencies like the DEA and the FBI are the ones who do the heavy lifting in fighting them.

    It is in this season where we can see how big it is the influence these cartels can have in Mexican politics, there is a particular event that serves as the ultimate proof that enough money can cause corruption of the highest level. Let's not forget el Chapo Guzman escaped prison 2 times using underground tunnels, in real life, in Mexico.

    In this season we will begin to see some cracks in this drug "Federation, which is how Feliz Gallardo calls his organization, and by the end of the season, the entire chessboard will be extremely different. The only thing that never changes is the continuous existence of drug cartels and the will of several agencies to continue to fight them.

    Can you guess who is the man in the picture above? He is el Chapo Guzman, who finally appears in this series as a regional drug leader. It will be some years until he becomes the absolute drug lord of Mexico.

    I recommend this series if you are looking for a good action-crime filled show. If you are only interested in Narcos Mexico you don't need to see the first 3 Narcos seasons because those were in Colombia, although I do recommend watching them. I think my favorite Narcos seasons were the first 2 against Pablo Escobar, but the entire show is pretty good.

    The best

    • Narcos always delivers good entertainment and this season is not an exception.
    • Decent crime/action show.
    • The main American DEA agent always looked depressed.

    The worst

    • The original Narcos (with the Colombian cartels) felt more intense for me. Less slowish.
