Narcos: Mexico - Série 3

The third season goes exactly in the spirit of the main character: there’s not much action, it’s rather tactics and smart talk. The important thing is to have a low profile if possible and to move the pieces smartly on the chessboard. After the demon Escobar, the handsome Felix and the gentlemen businessmen of Cali, this is another story of a narco-baron who was probably the most civil and sensible of them all, and the results were linked to that. Rather than spectacular action, the third season focuses primarily on the political scene and the ensuing police investigation, but it also reconstructs the journalistic work in meticulous detail, and it is not afraid to insert a minor dirty cop looking for a mass murderer of women into the background of the story. Paradoxically, I found this one the most raw and authentic, and it was brilliantly acted. As a whole, of course, traditionally gripping, entertaining, and cheeky; just as we like it. (17.11.2021)
