    I gave the show a pretty harsh review without watching it. I just watched season one on a binge.
    I did like it. It's good entertainment. The subject matter bothers me in the fact that it glorifies the horrible when innocents have suffered and still do. I don't know if I'll watch much more because I kind of know the story

    I'd like to see a real historic version in a documentary

    So I’m done with season 2. I’ll hold off on any major comments for a while.

    Solid content but not a good as the first 4 seasons.

    i definitely have some complaints as well.

    - it felt drawn out, lotta filler. and not like good, tense, pacing filler. there were a lot of just 'this isnt what im here for' moments.

    - i was never really sure when anything was taking place because of course it basically jumps back halfway into the original columbia narcos series when pablo was still alive. so the timeline was super weird to me.

    - lots of genuinely bad gunfight choreography.

    - lotta 'yeah so im guessing that totally didnt happen' moments which is lame considering how much incredible shit did actually happen.

    honestly im very glad it exists and i had a great time watching it but the whole thing feels like a teaser for whats coming, which is going to be Sicario grade ultraviolence on an absolutely unimaginable scale. and im fucking hear for that.

    LOL,
    I'd say 0, especially NOW that he hates De Niro, only because he makes fun of the President.
    Seriously, how would it be possible to be more of a snowflake than that?


    And as the show being exciting enough or not, this is based on a true story, so if they stuck to the truth, I'm ok w/less action.
    Recreations are cool like the 1st scene in Saving Private Ryan, but I don't really even like action scenes anymore, as they are all fake.
    I like intrigue of shows like that, so I'd have more of a problem if they made it exciting just for the Dick flick guys.

    Yeah if you squint a little bit you can see where the show runners said “slow it the fuck down..... get Acosta a girlfriend and waste an episode or two..... we don’t want to get to El Chapo this season”.

    Ok, but what does Fox News say about all of this?

    I'm assuming it was a typo that you forgot to mention this so I'm curious of your Foxesque opinion.
