Netflix chronicles the rise of the cocaine trade in Colombia and the gripping real-life stories of drug kingpins of the late '80s in this raw, gritty original series. Also detailed are the actions taken by law enforcement as they battle in the war on drugs, targeting notorious and powerful figures that include drug lord Pablo Escobar. As efforts are made to control cocaine, one of the world's most valuable commodities, the many entities involved -- legal, political, police, military and civilian -- find themselves in conflict.

Keeping Pascal was important in connecting the stories and keeping an interesting presence at the center of the series. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 03/28/2018
You won't exactly be saying "Pablo who?" in the wake of Wagner Moura's compelling performance as the murderous Medellin cartel boss across the first two seasons, but as the third begins Escobar's successors in the Cali cartel become similarly engrossing.

The continuity provided by the theme music aside, Narcos Season 3 essentially functions as the start of a brand new series under the Narcos umbrella -- a backdoor anthology, if you will. Go to Full Review Swetha Ramakrishnan Firstpost 10/10/2023
Narcos season 3 is dominated by engaging conversations, and not by action sequences. You don't miss Pablo Escobar (too much), with a nail-biting narrative to binge on. Go to Full Review Lisa Trifone Third Coast Review 05/28/2019
With four crime bosses to follow instead of one, the storyline teeters just this side of cumbersome, but credit goes to the writers who create clear distinctions between each of these bad guys. Go to Full Review Elena Nicolaou Refinery29 05/16/2019
Don't kid yourself: This season... [is] as vicious as the ones before, even if the Cartel's moves are more gracefully plotted. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gareth v @geewah Jul 23 While season 3 is a shift from Escobar to the Cali Cartel and brings a new flavour, it is still as compelling as ever and must watch TV. Pedro Pascal is excellent as he takes a more prominent role dealing with an organisation that is run more like a multi-national company than that of Escobar's. One of Netflix's and 2017's best shows. See more PJ T @SimplyLovely 01/21/2025 Season 3 showed us that after Escobar who was dubbed the biggest monster of them all, Cali was an even bigger monster. Season 3 shows us that there is no true right and wrong justice, just monsters making deals with more evil monsters. See more Oscar 12/23/2024 I personally did not find the third season as compellingly as the earlier seasons. Nonetheless, Narcos is definitely a must-see show. See more Theode A @Theowings 05/23/2024 After the death of Pablo Escobar in the end of S2, i thought S3 would be lame. Season 3 blew me away, because it was so good. The Cali Cartel's story was really interresting. It's a underrated season. Narcos is for me in the top ten for any series. See more Marcus P @Rustyshackeyford 02/23/2024 It’s damn near perfect .
