Aug 28, 2015 | Full Review… David Sims The Atlantic Top Critic For some, Narcos will revive the most troubling TV depictions of Latinos as criminals and drug traffickers, despite the show's heroic efforts to humanize everyone involved. Aug 28, 2015 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic Narcos makes a chillingly persuasive case that the high-level drug biz isn't fundamentally different from most other business. Supply, demand. Risk, reward. Aug 28, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic An unlikeable character, no matter the circumstances, remains unlikeable, but an unlikeable character trumps a bland blonde man whose position of authority appears to be his only really interesting character trait, no matter how much voice-over he utters. Aug 28, 2015 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Liz Shannon Miller indieWire Top Critic Narcos [is] an electrifying new Netflix series. Nov 13, 2015 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic For this hyphenated viewer, Narcos works, linguistic flaws and all. Sep 16, 2015 | Full Review… Enrique Fernandez Miami Herald Top Critic The American plot, with middling American actors and a distracting voiceover, is a C. The Colombian plot -- with Brazilian actor Wagner Moura in a gorgeous performance as the grand, monstrous Escobar -- is an A. Oct 19, 2018 | Full Review… Stephen Marche Esquire Magazine Narcos is power-packed, addictive and worth the ten hours you'll spend stuck to your screen. May 25, 2017 | Full Review… Ankita Chawla Scroll.in Even if you're already familiar with the broad strokes of Escobar's rise and fall, it's worth watching Narcos to experience the textures of the Colombian drug trade at its ugliest. Mar 7, 2017 | Full Review… Julia Felsenthal Vogue For all its flaws, Narcos' first season could just be one hell of a prequel to a mindblowingly good second season. Jan 19, 2017 | Full Review… Joey Keeton The Daily Dot View All Critic Reviews (49) Audience Reviews for Narcos: Season 1 Apr 01, 2019 Great serie that I could not stop to watch. Joachim F Jan 09, 2019 An awesome look into the worlds of the DEA and the cartels during Pablo's reign. The acting is spot on which makes everything believable. The plot is extremely interesting and contains many factoids supported by picture evidence. Riff J Dec 27, 2018 LOVED THE FIRST SEASON BUT INEXPLICABLY THE SECOND FELT FLAT FOR ME. tHIRD IS LOOKING GOOD THOUGH.. FINGERS CROSSED. Phil P Nov 15, 2018 Great acting and a realistic depiction. Dr G Apr 08, 2018 Interesting & very well acted. Diane V Jan 14, 2018 Constantly building and evolving the story at a pace that keeps you watching. Justin N Dec 28, 2017 Better than the Game of Thrones) Blaze B Dec 25, 2017 One of the best series i watched, the season 2 and 3 are kind of shitty, but the first season, is fucking awesome, the characters are well developed and you just create an relation with them,they are really sympathic you know? The visuals are just awesome too, if you didn´t watch it , just watch it. Da P Dec 16, 2017 Puntaje Original: 7.8 Intensa e intrigante, con una historia que junta dos visiones al complejo mundo del narcotráfico. Muchos aspectos de la serie son impecables, sin embargo, como latinoamericano la cuestión actoral se muestra deslucidez debido a un forzado uso de acentos y de jergas por parte del reparto. Ayrton C Dec 09, 2017 Amazing story; amazing set-up; amazing acting; amazing entertainment. sandeep b See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
