Rotten TomatoesNarcos is a crime drama series that revolves around the rise and fall of the cocaine drug lord Pablo Escobar and the MedellÃn Cartel in Colombia during the late 1970s and 1980s. Furthermore, the show has a cast, headlined by Wagner Moura and Boyd Holbrook, which has been appreciated for realistic portrayal of Colombian drug lords and DEA agents from the US. The storyline is extremely entertaining throughout with no dull moment, while also shedding light on the negative impact of this rising drug empire in the 1980s. On top of that, Narcos has been commended for its historical accuracy and its use of real footage and archival material to enhance the authenticity of the story. That said, there is some criticism regarding the glorification of violence shown in the episodes. Overall, though, Narcos is a compelling and thought-provoking series that provides a unique perspective on one of the most infamous criminal enterprises in modern history.

Agent Javier Pena, portrayed here by Pedro Pascal, was significantly involved in bringing down Pablo Escobar and the Medellin cartel in real life. These events are depicted in seasons one and two of Narcos. He was not involved in bringing down the Rodriguez brothers and their Cali cartel, which is depicted in season three of Narcos. However, the Narcos series shows Javier Pena in all three seasons as main character, bringing down the Medellin and Cali cartels.
Wagner Moura sees Narcos (2015) as his official entrance in the international film industry, because Elysium (2013) seemed more like an experience, since his character didn't have a big relevance.
Pedro Pascal felt uncomfortable in 1980s fashions ("I looked like a kid.") so he decided to make Peña's wardrobe a character trait: "Let's just say Javier Peña is like Don Draper, in that the 70s is where he really found himself... and so he's stuck there. He's not throwing those pants out, he's not changing his hair, he's not changing his shoes. It's his time, and he's gonna look like that until the day he dies."
Season 1 and 2 take place between 1979-93 with Season 3 picking up in 1994.
During his peak, Pablo smuggled $70 million worth of cocaine every week amounting to about $20 billion profits a year making him one of the richest men in the world. It is said that he spent approximately $3000 in buying rubberbands for his money each month. Rats nibbled at 10 percent of his money amounting to a loss of $2 billion each year.
