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.

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 Narcos' use of narration sometimes comes off more like the writers don't fully trust the audience. Viewers are being told what is important rather than being shown why it is important. Aug 28, 2015 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman ScreenRant More than anything, Narcos is a fascinating character drama.
