Goofs

In several of the airport cut scenes showing aircraft taxiing, the aircraft shown are a Boeing 737-800 and a Boeing 767-300ER. Both these aircraft have winglets on the end of their wings. The first flight of a Boeing 737 model that was fitted with winglets happened in November 2002. The first Boeing 767 model that flew with winglets didn't happen until 2009. In another scene, an Airbus A340 is seen landing. This aircraft first flew in 1991. See more »

How to do Television right.
28 August 2015 | by See all my reviews

Since movies have become nothing but shoot-em-ups and comic books television has emerged as the way to get great drama to adults.

Narcos is a tale that everyone knows today, but the storytelling of this series is done with great visuals, interesting casting and a storytelling format which I love.

Using the protagonist as the voice over narrator gives this series the feel of Goodfellas or Casino (two of my favourite movies by the way).

Its extremely watchable and kept my attention the whole time. The scene with Pablo Escobar on the bridge was stunning.

A worthwhile watch, if you have interests in things other than comic books.
