Narcos tells the true-life story of the growth and spread of cocaine drug cartels across the globe and attendant efforts of law enforcement to meet them head on in brutal, bloody conflict. It centers around the notorious Colombian cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura) and Steve Murphy (Holbrook), a DEA agent sent to Colombia on a U.S. mission to capture him and ultimately kill him.

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.
