About
If you liked Narcos for its real-events crime saga and escalating stakes, this should land, but Not for you if you dislike subtitles, slow-build openings, or want a lighter, less brutal watch.
Pros: tense, realistic crime story; strong cast performances; gripping momentum | Cons: slow early episodes; uneven pacing later; some characters feel thin
