    Great show. Binge watched the out of it the other day. Was concerned how they were going to prolong it but if the 2nd part is as well-written as the first, then there isn't much concern.

    I watched episode 1. Solid but a little sluggish, imo. I'll try to finish out to see if it picks up.

    I agree. Has great production value and decent acting, will still watch the rest of the season.

    The voice over stuff was a bit much in the beginning. It seemed like it belonged in a dumb video game or something. Excellent show despite that.

    Trash.

    The voice over never stopped. It was like watching a do entary. The show must have thought we all were born last decade with all the stop and go explanations.

    Also, this is a minor complaint but the dude couldn't even speak spanish all that well. He had a bad accent. You could tell he was speaking it as a second language.

    I thought it balanced out towards the end, but yeah, it's pretty corny.

    If it's good then I'll wait 3-4 years so I can watch the entire series without huge breaks and cliffhangers. I wish I had done that with Breaking Bad, but no, I had to get into the series in the first Season 5.

    I watched three or four episodes. Totally agree that the narration is unnecessary and kills the show. Show me, don't tell me. There are times that it works, others that it doesn't. The out of place voice over in The Hateful Eight is another bad example.

    this...I honestly didn't notice her much in the first season but they seem to be showing her more this time around

    I'm halfway thru, it's been good so far imo. The voice over doesn't really bother me tbh, but maybe it's just because I was already used to Padilha's style.

    if you can't stand sub les this is not your movie. It looked like they were trying to make
    Pablo into a Tony Soprano type character . The guy in real life sent many people to their
    deaths and but the character was portrayed as a family guy with feelings. It show was like a
    Car wreck on I 35. When you drove past it you had to slow down and take a look. I would
    still recommend it.

    Saw first 2 episodes of Narcos:Mexico.

    Good so far. Legit mexicans in this one too. Diego Luna and Michael Pena putting in work.

    And nope, this is not season 4 either. It's like a side story having nothing to do with the main series.

    Just finished episode 8 late late last night.

    Escobar (younger escobar) makes an appearance as this Mexico chapter is going on while Escobar is still alive -

    first two episodes were ok but it does get better after that - then maybe another lull - then really good again.
    I knew if I started watching yesterday my day would be gone lol.

    I'm through 3 episodes and enjoying it.

    Although I thought the scene with Pena pretending to be a laborer was pretty ridiculous.

    Started off strong and then fizzled out. I think it's safe to say this season won't win any Mexican Tourism awards.

    I have to agree here.

    The plot just sort of died in the middle portion of the season. Way too many episodes in my opinion.

    As a side story, this didn't need to be more than 5-6 episodes, instead they went with a full blown season and it suffered for it. Peña is usually a good actor but he mailed this in and to boot, his character is a bit of a deadbeat when it comes to his family and too much of a badass when it came to his job.

    Going rogue and disobeying orders on a foreign country where they're supposed to be diplomats and hands off.

    I liked season 2 of Narcos Mexico, but if they are going to continue with Chapo, didn't they already use a lot of specific violent murders/acts from his life and put them in season 1 as stuff Felix did?
