Narcos

Narcos

Over the past week i have been watching the Netflix original series 'narcos' and i cannot recommend it any more, this is quite simply the best series i have ever seen. What makes it so good? Well im about to tell you. There are a few different aspects to narcos that makes it so good, for example the characters. There are three main characters the notorious Pablo Escobar and the DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena. What i like about these characters is that they develop throughout the series, for example Pablo starts out as a normal Colombian guy but he realises the prices of cocaine dealing and he becomes a millionaire, but his character develops into this paranoid drug dealer and you can imagine how that ends out for him. Also Steve Murphy is a brilliant character because he gets transferred to Colombia to help track down Pablo and overtime he becomes very agitated and becomes very stressed and violent. In my opinion the best character is the lesser main character Murphy's partner Javier Pena. I dont know what it is about him but i found my self more invested in him rather than Steve or Pablo. The character development in this series is what makes it so good, how you see these characters change for the better or worse. The fact that this series is based on a true story and is 90% accurate is ridiculous, there is so much going on and it is so exciting, the fact that the majority of this all happened is insane. The final reason why i love narcos is because of the unpredictability, you will of only just met a character and the next episode they are dead. I wont give any spoilers but there is so shocking deaths that you just didn't expect.
