I enjoyed Messiah.

 

Looking forward to Narcos though, I'll need a recap to start with though.

 

Messiah was just boring me mate, they labour every single point. The synopsis was 'Tense Mystery/Drama' (although they've changed that, because there was literally nothing tense about it. I only watched 4 episodes mind, so may watch the rest when there is a gap in my to watch list. 

I always watch the last episode of the previous series before digging into the new one. So Narcos Mexico going on....after yet another fucking Windows Update.

Not as good as the Colombian based ones but still great entertainment nevertheless.

Superb I had no idea. I've been watching Narcos Mexico again over the last few weeks. Get in

It's easy to forgot just how good that theme tune is.

[Bjornebye]

I am the fire that burns your skin,
Soy el fuego que arde tu piel
I am the water that kills your thirst.
soy el agua que mata tu sed.
Of the castle, I am the tower,
El castillo, la torre yo soy
the sword that guards the treasure.
la espada que guarda el caudal.
You, the air that I breathe,
tu el aire que respiro yo
and the light of the moon on the sea.
y la luz de la luna en el mar.
The throat that longs to be choked
La garganta que ansio mojar
that I’m afraid I’ll drown in love.
que temo ahogar de amor.
And which desires you are going to give me.
y cuales deseos me vas a dar
just to look is treasure enough,
mi tesoro basta con mirarlo,
it will be yours, it will be yours.
tuyo será, y tuyo será.

Doesn't sound that great when I try to sing it in Spanish to be fair.

Good opener.

 

What do you buy a billionaire drug lord for his birthday?

A fucking Tiger. Mad cunts.

That party scene was very much reminiscent of the nightclub scene in Scarface as well.

 

Edit: On reflection maybe not, loved the music though  (fairly certain they used it in GTA Vice City) and Al Pacinos dad dancing.

Just finished series 2 of Narcos Mexico and it's even better than series 1. As usual they stay as close as possible to real events with a few bits thrown in for the sake of entertainment. Very good acting, music score and narration, shit loads of violence/action, sexy women galore and the added bonus of not giving a fuck who dies or is captured as they're all a bunch of cunts in general. 

 

Pissed that we'll have to wait a year before series 3 hits the screens. 

 

10/10, top TV. 

On a side note. I have to laugh at them having all that money, yet in the mid-late 89's they all have small TV's with fuzzy as fuck pictures.

I gave it a 7.5/10 on the ratings thread. After the Colombian series the Mexico ones are a much weaker effort for me. Still good but nothing special and too many weak parts of the script made up with gunfights,which I am sure are solely for a US audience as I find them scenes boring as fuck. If this was a standalone series then it wouldn't be so bad but the Escobar and Cali cartel stuff was far better.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

 

Opinions and all that mate, i think it's every bit as good as Narcos Columbia. 

[Elite]

I've only watched 2 but episodes 2 was immense. Nothing will ever top the Escobar seasons but it's still a great show.

Not for me.

[Bjornebye]

Not seen the 2nd series yet. Will binge it this week. Series 1 is miles away from Narcos Colombia. Still very good but not a scratch on the original.

They are obviously heading towards the El Chapo story and that'll most likely be the end of it all. 

 

Wouldn't work outside of South America.

Read some rumours they were going to follow Mexico with a US one, probably California. Could be good for the women alone.

Would love to see them do a few scenes at a mock up of The Grafton. How classy would our girls look?

Tonys ma would win a Bafta

They should do one on Purdue Pharma and the Sackler Family:

 

Narcos: Oxycontin

 

Family produces and sells dangerously addictive drugs, indirectly kills tens of thousands, pays billions in fines/settlements, still walks free, with billions in the bank.

 

_____________________________________________

 

This last one was good, but none of them have stood up to the first one, in large part because Escobar was such a great character, and so well acted.
