So, I watched Narcos Mexico and am now watching Narcos (both on Netflix)...
The former is about the growth of the drug trade in Mexico during the mid-eighties and the rise of Felix Gallardo.
The latter is about the birth, and growth, of the cocaine trade in Columbia in the late 70s and into the 80s. It focuses (so far) on Pablo Escobar.
Both shows are reality-based shows. Think 75% entertainment, 25% documentary.
Holy Christ. What Escobar did to the country of Columbia. Basically able to start a brutal civil war. Fascinating.
