Narcos

Such a great show! Though the topic of drugs and the war on drugs is so "easy", it can still be appropriated to screen so poorly. I found Narcos akin to The Wire in terms of doing honor to the subject matter in a multi-layered way.

It's a gritty show and unlike The Wire, it's more true crime/fact-based. The show gives fascinating insights into the inner workings of drug/crime syndicates and the level of risk people will take to transport them across borders and into other countries. It tells of the brutality of drug lords and the lengths they'll go to make profit. The acting, cinematography and script are first class.
