This continuation of "Narcos" explores the origins of the modern drug war by going back to its roots, starting at a time when the Mexican trafficking world was a loose, disorganized confederation of independent growers and dealers. It's the 1980s, and Felix Gallardo takes the helm of the Guadalajara Cartel, unifying traffickers to build an empire. As DEA agent Kiki Camarena moves his wife and young son from California to Guadalajara to take on a new post, he learns his assignment is more challenging than he imagined. A tragic chain of events unfolds as Camarena gains intelligence on Gallardo and becomes more entangled in the mission.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

As addictive -- and relevant -- as ever, Narcos: México's sophomore season is definitely more violent, but it never spoils the rich drama fans have come to love.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 02/12/2020
As ever, it's exquisitely written, cast and shot, making great use of Mexico's stunning landscapes, opulent haciendas and colourful '80s fashions. The series does a fine job too of keeping the viewer straight about a big cast of characters. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Paste Magazine 02/10/2020
9.2/10
Though it wanders in its middle episodes, Narcos: Mexico remains a finely written drama that loves to wow us with facts and maps even more than twists born from violent turns (which are, nevertheless, exceptionally effective). Go to Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai NOW Toronto 02/10/2020
3/5
At its best, Narcos: Mexico recalls The Godfather Part II, with Gallardo recalling Michael Corleone. His success backs him into a lonely corner because his ambition outlasts his intimate relationships. And his most intriguing relationship is with Mexico.

For the most part, Narcos Mexico: Season 2 ends up being incredibly messy, and that is partly due to the absence of Peña. Go to Full Review Brooke Daugherty Pop Culture Leftovers 03/29/2020

Richard B @Maverick1024 09/16/2024 Not as good as Season 1 but still a great season. Highly recommend. See more The_Matthew S @RT40494941 01/23/2024 It's pulpy fun. I think the episodes are stretched a bit too wide and I found myself ff'ing a bunch. Some great character work here - Scoot Mcnairy - really shines. But what brings every scene to a grinding booooring halt is Diego Luna. He plays so flat and lights up a cigarette in every scene - and I am not being hyperbolic. I was coughing from my sofa. Mixed bag o donuts See more Max W @MaxthorWoo 07/30/2023 Narcos: Mexico Season 2 maintains the same level of excellence as before, depicting characters from an extremely dramatic perspective within the existing framework of reality. The seamless transition between new and old characters and different storylines makes it as captivating as the original series.
