Critic Reviews for Narcos: Season 2
All Critics (24) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (2)
This remains a slick, stylish delight -- a romp that is the best kind of addictive.
When so many action sequences are all quick cuts and too many edits, Narcos's more focused approach is much appreciated.
The acting, as usual, is exceptional here, though Escobar's fall from grace, and the accompanying bodycount, makes for season so violent that it tends to numb, and drag, at times.
The performances by Moura, Pascal and everyone else are still some of the best seen on television right now with Moura taking the cake again in the last three episodes.
There are potent and provocative ideas that lie frustratingly dormant throughout this series, which seems to be just happy to play a competent but only occasionally compelling Michael Mann riff.
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.
