What keeps the series compelling in the process is Moura's incredible performance. Go to Full Review Hamish Macbain Empire Magazine 11/06/2017
3/5
Narcos continues to be as stylishly made as its first season was, but there are only so many holdalls being hurriedly stuffed full of cash, brutal murders or hushed phone calls that we really need to see. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 09/28/2016
Season two feels much more assured in its execution than the first, partly owing to the story's shorter timeframe. Go to Full Review Swetha Ramakrishnan Firstpost 10/10/2023

Narcos Season 2 is more contemplative and slower-moving than the first season, offering a deeper exploration into the mental and literal breakdown of Escobar, his empire, and the DEA agents chasing him. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gareth v @geewah Jul 23 Season 2 of Narcos is tighter, more focused, and more emotionally resonant than the first. An intense season that zeroes in on the final chapter of Pablo Escobar’s (played by the excellent Wagner Moura) reign as he realises the walls are closing in. One of 2016's best shows. See more Michael S. @Michaelshearatings Jul 9 The Second season of “Narcos” was nothing short of brilliant. This show made you obsessed with who Pablo Escobar was, and how vile a human being can truly be. You could finally catch your breath when they finally caught him, and feel whatever little bit of justice there was. Wagner Moura did an amazing job in this series, and really made the whole first two seasons. See more Theode A @Theowings 05/23/2024 Narcos S2 is my favourite Season of the series. It's a remarkable season. I really love how they use real life video footage from the time, when this happend back in the 1980s. I also love the chemistry between Pedro Pascal and Boyd Holbrook as Javier Peña and Steve Murphy. Wagner Moura played really excellent as Pablo Escobar. See more Benjamin H 07/18/2023 While it isn't as tightly plotted or as properly balanced as the first season, Narcos Season 2 is still a gripping, harsh and morally grey story of Pablo Escobar's final chapter that is fabulously acted, splendidly directed and intoxicating. See more equis p 05/06/2023 poor acting, repetitive predictable boring theme See more Tripti G @Tiripiri 02/12/2023 Very interesting to learn the history of Pablo Escobar and ultimately his demise.
