Still a pretty decent watch for Narcos withdrawal symptoms or if you're into the subject matter at all.
Just watched the first one and wasn't overly impressed. The whole meet with Escobar, then the OTT run against the clock just didn't sit right with me. I'd prefered to have had more of an intro into how he got into the cartel world/building these tunnels/etc, rather than a Fast and Furious knockoff.
His story should be fascinating though, so I'll probably give another couple of episodes a go soon. My fear is that, as it's still very recent, not much good information will have come out about him yet.
