Pumped for this, kinda glad Boyd Holbrook is gone, he was always the weakest part of the show for me and I'm glad Pedro Pascal is getting a chance to lead. But I think what I'm going to miss the most is Pablo Escobar's dad sweaters

I don't get it. What is the appeal of this cocaine stuff? Am I the only one who never tried it? I never did coke but I've done a bunch of bath salts and I still have no idea how you would build a giant crime empire out of it.

Jon Roberts and Mickey Munday trafficked tons of the poo poo into the US for Escobar and only tried coke once and thought it was no big deal.

In terms of story and things, it's right up there with the rest of the series. But man, no Wagner Moura sucks. Casting that guy as Pablo was real lightning in a bottle type stuff.

I'm so glad Murphy is gone and they shifted to Pedro Pascal as the lead. It's a shame Wagner Moura is gone but the only thing I ever disliked about the show was Murphy's character/narration so removing that is a huge bonus.

I liked Murphy's accent when he was narrating  Pena is an adequate replacement though

Yeah, they definitely aren't 'good guys' but compared to Escobar the Cali cartel are basically loving saints. I could see how their offer to just 'retire' would be appealing to the Colombian/US governments. I loved Moura's performance but I don't see how you could root for Escobar. I also love (light Ep.3 Spoilers) the security chief is basically the office IT guy that no one listens to. "You need to do this! It's extremely important!" "Listen mister, I have a system.."

Finished it. Great season. I think the show in a lot of ways gets better and better My only real gripe is we only got a few minutes of Edward James Olmos. Even in a small role, he loving brings it.

That season was phenomenal, even without Moura holding everything together. The guy playing Pacho Herrera stepped up in a big way to fill those shoes; I was very fond of him. Not gonna lie, I didn't even notice the white guy was gone till about halfway through. Good riddance. All in all, a very satisfying watch after my last big TV watch being this lovely season of Game of Thrones.

Despera posted:"Its own kind of prison" my rear end. They gave him 1.7 million. They also somewhat downplay who he was a lot, like how he was a counter-terrorist spook. He wasn't this nebbish waif, he was the dude you sent to Europe to hire mercenaries. The pitch to hire him was basically "Wanna kill Pablo Escobar?". They briefly touch on how he was associated with a bombing planned against Pablo in the show, in like a one line throw away moment. They don't state that it was buying 4 500 pound airplane bombs from the Air Force, as part of an operation where Cali wanted him to bomb Pablo's wing in jail. Or just how many secret paramilitary operations he was put in charge of. And he was the guy they ordered to kill the accountant in real life. So he wasn't quite as pure and innocent as they portray him. The flip side of that is he really did hand the US basically their entire case, and it's not like anyone was on him or something. Crazy cat, I don't know anyone that can definitively say what the hell was going on in his head the entire time. He was a fairly well off guy from a relatively high status family, and counter-terrorist work in Colombia in his time wasn't exactly grunt work. It's not like he was known for living it up or anything either, best anyone can tell he really did join Cali to kill Pablo [Who was basically the closest we'll come to a real life super-villain, and a guy a lot of people made very strange friends over trying to murder as seen on the show], coasted for a few years, and then just snapped one day and turned on them.

Sure it is. You asked how people could root for Escobar; you're rooting for the nastiest loving monsters in the story, the US and Colombian governments, whose inhumane laws and brutal suppression of their underclasses created the desperate, cruel world of the favelas from which Escobar rose, and from which he pulled his companions and associates. You're rooting for the loving cops in a narcocorrido.

You're rooting for the loving cops in a narcocorrido. Yeah, that's how poo poo he was. Everyone ganged up to kill him, because reality was tired of his bullshit. Terrorists, other narcos, the CIA and the Colombians, probably random animals and some highly intelligent trees, everyone wanted that motherfucker dead in the end. He did less to hurt the rich and elite [Who he ultimately wanted to be one of] than he did to hurt average people. The rich and powerful were courted for their influence, the underclasses were just shot and left in the gutter as a message. He wasn't a hero, he was just another gently caress you got mine capitalist. A pity gently caress of a football field or something doesn't change that, just like it doesn't change anything for our capitalists when they throw a few crumbs at their lessers.

Long shot, but does anyone have a clue what song plays in episode 10 when Pacho surrenders in the church? It's an instrumental so I imagine it could have been made specifically for the show but if not I'd love to be able to ID it.

I just binged all of season 3 in one sitting, I thought it was fantastic and for me it was the best of the three in spite of the lack of certain actors this time around. It was much more consistent with better pacing. It's a bit too reliant on 'cops about to do a thing but it all turns to poo poo at the literal last second and they spend the next episode trying to recover from it' schtick but that's my only complaint and it isn't a particularly major one since they did a great job of holding suspense. The soundtrack is immense.
