Narcos

Anybody else watching this Pablo Escobar thing?  I don't really think much of the DEA-agent and wife angle, and Boyd Holbrook always looks to me as though there might be something slightly out of whack, chromosomally-speaking, but the rest of it is very good indeed, so far.  It manages to pull off the "being set in a different decade without making a big fucking deal out of it" quite nicely, too.

Although he's almost unrecognisable in the role, Escobar is played by Wagner Moura, and I could watch him all day long.  I've seen him before in the two Brazilian "Elite Squad" cop movies, both of which I really, really enjoyed.  They're also on Netflix, so check them out: brutal and gripping in equal measure.

This show was absolutely fantastic. That's really all you can say about it and Moura's performance.

Recently got into this as well. The voiceover is becoming a parody of itself but I still really like this show.

Watched Season 1. It was good. Felt a little paint-by-the-numbers, but still good.

Season 2 is a chore.  3 eps in and it's become a laundry folding show.
