Narcos: Mexico
One of the most famous drug kingpins in modern history, Pablo Escobar (played here by Wagner Moura), gets his story told in the gritty and violent Narcos. While the first season tracks Escobar’s journey as he becomes the world’s most prolific cocaine distributor, it also focuses on the urgent search for him, spearheaded by two DEA agents (played by Pedro Pascal and Boyd Holbrook) — it’s an engrossing cat-and-mouse thriller. Similarly, its spin-off series Narcos: Mexico, led by Diego Luna as the ruthless Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, explores the creation of the Mexican drug trade and the Guadalajara Cartel, as well as the DEA’s pursuit of Gallardo.
