==Plot==
{{See also|List of Narcos episodes}}
{{:List of Narcos episodes}}

===Season 1 (2015)===
{{main article|Narcos (season 1)}}

Season one chronicles the life of Pablo Escobar from the late 1970s, when he first began manufacturing cocaine, to July 1992. The show relates the main events that happened in Colombia during this period and Escobar’s relationship to them. It is told through the perspective of [[Stephen Murphy (civil servant)|Steve Murphy]], an American DEA agent working in Colombia. The series depicts how Escobar first became involved in the cocaine trade in Colombia. He was an established [[black market]]eer in Medellín, moving trucks worth of illegal goods (alcohol, cigarettes, and household appliances) into Colombia during a time when this was strictly forbidden, when introduced to Mateo "Cockroach" Moreno, a [[Chile]]an exile and underground chemist, who pitched the idea that they go into business together, with Moreno producing and Escobar distributing a new, profitable drug—cocaine. They expand beyond Moreno's small cocaine processing lab by building additional, larger labs in the rainforest and, using the expertise of [[Carlos Lehder]], transport their product in bulk to Miami, where it gains notoriety amongst the rich and famous. Soon enough, Pablo develops larger labs and more extensive distribution routes into the United States to supply growing demand. With cocaine's growth into a drug of importance in the American market, one that accounts for a large flow of U.S. dollars to Colombia and escalating drug-related violence in the United States, the Americans send a task force from the DEA to Colombia to address the issue. Murphy is partnered with [[Javier Peña]]. The purpose of Murphy's task force is to work with the Colombian authorities, led by Colonel Carrillo, to put an end to the flow of cocaine into the United States. The season ends with Escobar's escape from prison.

===Season 2 (2016)===
{{main article|Narcos (season 2)}}

Season two continues where season one ended. Soldiers find Escobar and his entourage right outside the perimeter of La Catedral, but are too petrified by Escobar to make an arrest. At the embassy, the United States sends a new ambassador who brings the CIA into play. In the beginning, little change occurs for Escobar, as he still has the loyalty of his cartel. This loyalty, however, starts to slip as Escobar needs more time and resources to hide from the government. Among the tricks he uses to avoid being seen are riding around town in the trunk of a taxi cab and using young lookouts to report police movements to him.

Initially, Escobar easily adapts to his new life, giving money to the community while ruthlessly killing those who try to break away from his empire. The Colombian police and Escobar engage in massive battles, resulting in high tension and unrest in Colombia. Escobar's rivals in the Cali cartel form an unlikely alliance with ousted members of his own cartel, as well as with a CIA-backed anticommunist paramilitary group. Agent Peña secretly works with this group, who kill members of Pablo's organization and claim responsibility as "Los Pepes". After two of Escobar's top cartel members are caught and betray him, Escobar goes on the run. His bodyguard and he hide in a safehouse, where he celebrates his 44th birthday. When Pablo tries to make contact with his family, the DEA and military track him down via radio triangulation and corner him on the rooftops. Pablo is hit twice in the ensuing shootout, and although he might have survived his injuries, a Colombian policeman - Trujillo executes him, amidst shouts of "Viva Colombia!". Escobar's wife Tata goes to the Cali cartel for their help in leaving the country. Peña returns to the United States, in expectation of being reprimanded by the disciplinary committee for his associations with Los Pepes, but is surprised when asked to provide intelligence against the Cali cartel, implying his future involvement with the DEA.

===Season 3 (2017)===
{{main article|Narcos (season 3)}}
Season three was released on September 1, 2017.<ref>{{Citation|last=Netflix|title=Narcos {{!}} Season 3 Teaser [HD] {{!}} Netflix|date=July 14, 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j73-IvTvNN0&feature=youtu.be|accessdate=August 2, 2017}}</ref> The story continues after Pablo Escobar's death and shows the DEA's fight against the Cali cartel. With Escobar out of the way, business for the cartel is booming, with new markets in the United States and elsewhere. To everyone's surprise, Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, the leader of the Cali cartel, announces that within 6 months, the cartel will leave the cocaine business entirely to focus on legal business interests. The decision is met with mixed reactions within the cartel.

==Production==

===Opening theme and title sequence===
;Title card
''Narcos'' opens with a title card, from which the narrator reads: "[[Magical realism]] is defined as what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe. There is a reason magical realism was born in Colombia".<ref>{{cite news|title= REVIEW: ‘Narcos’ state of mind, ALWAYS RIGHT NOW |author= Almario, Alex |newspaper=The Philippine Star | date= September 24, 2016|url=http://www.philstar.com/supreme/2016/09/24/1626768/review-narcos-state-mind}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://uproxx.com/sepinwall/review-netflixs-narcos-takes-on-the-legend-of-pablo-escobar/|author=Sepinwall, Alan|title=Review: Netflix’s ‘Narcos’ takes on the legend of Pablo Escobar|date=August 27, 2016|work=What's Alan Watching?}}</ref>

;Opening theme
''Narcos''{{'}} opening theme, "Tuyo", is a ''[[bolero]]'' written and composed for the show by Brazilian singer-songwriter [[Rodrigo Amarante]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/latin/6693172/narcos-netflix-music-rodrigo-amarante-pedro-bromfman|title=Meet the Musical Minds Behind 'Narcos,' Netflix's New Pablo Escobar Series|website=Billboard|date=September 11, 2015|accessdate=September 5, 2016|author=Romero, Angie}}</ref>

;Visual montage
The theme scores the visual montage comprising the title sequence, created by DK Studios under artistic director Tom O’Neill. The 1980s-themed images address Colombian drug trafficking in general, the United States’ attempt to control it, the era’s glamour, footage from the mountainous regions of Bogota and surrounding underprivileged neighbourhoods, shots of local residents, archival news coverage, and violence. The montage excludes some people who were unwilling to appear in the credits, but it does include some news clips and images "of Pablo Escobar and his entourage, like those at the zoo, [which] came directly from the drug baron’s personal photographer, who goes by the name El Chino." According to O'Neill, "the production team took inspiration from James Mollison’s photo book ''The Memory of Pablo Escobar''."<ref>{{cite web|title=The Story Behind The Opening Credits #1: ‘Narcos’|author=Olité, Marion|website=Konbini|url=http://www.konbini.com/en/entertainment-2/narcos-opening-credits/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|website=Art of the Title|url=

===Etymology===

Narcotics: from late Middle English: from Old French narcotique, via medieval Latin from Greek narkōtikos, from narkoun ‘make numb’. In Spanish, the term ''narco'' is an abbreviation of the word ''[[wikt:narcotraficante|narcotraficante]]'' ([[drug trafficker]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2011/10/25/141650194/el-narco-the-trade-driving-mexicos-drug-war|title='El Narco': The Trade Driving Mexico's Drug War|date=October 25, 2011|publisher=NPR}}</ref> Before this usage, in the United States, the [[epithet]] "narc" (or "narco") referred to a specialist officer of a narcotics police force, such as a DEA agent.<ref>{{cite book|title=Chicano intravenous drug users: The collection and interpretation of data from hidden from Hidden Populations|author=Ramos, R.|date=1990}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://decider.com/2015/08/31/narcos-theme-song-tuyo-english-translation-netflix|title=EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ‘NARCOS’ HYPNOTIC THEME SONG|website=Decider|date=August 31, 2015}}</ref>

===Season 1===
The first season received generally favorable reviews from critics. [[Rotten Tomatoes]], a [[review aggregator]], surveyed 45 reviews and judged 79% to be positive. The site reads, "''Narcos'' lacks sympathetic characters, but pulls in the viewer with solid acting and a story that's fast-paced enough to distract from its familiar outline."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/narcos/s01|title=Narcos: Season 1 (2015)|work=Rotten Tomatoes|accessdate=March 13, 2016}}</ref> On [[Metacritic]], season one holds a weighted average score of 77 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/tv/narcos |title=Narcos (2015)
|publisher=Metacritic |accessdate=September 10, 2016}}</ref>

[[IGN]] gave the first season a 7.8 out of 10 score, saying "It's a true-to-life account, sometimes to a fault, of the rise of Pablo Escobar and the hunt that brought him down laced with stellar performances and tension-filled stand-offs. Its blend of archival footage reminds us that the horrors depicted really happened, but also manage to present an Escobar that is indefensible but frighteningly sympathetic."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/08/27/narcos-season-1-review|title=Narcos: Season 1 Review|publisher=IGN|first=Chris|last=Wheatley|date=August 27, 2015|accessdate=September 18, 2015}}</ref> Writing for ''[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]'', Tirdad Derakhshani reviewed the season positively, calling it, "Intense, enlightening, brilliant, unnerving, and addictive, ''Narcos'' is high-concept drama at its finest."<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/television/20150830_Netflix_s__quot_Narcos_quot__is_more_than_just_a_drug_saga.html |title=Narcos: Season 1 Review|website=[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]|first=Tirdad|last=Derakhshani |date=August 27, 2015|accessdate=September 18, 2015}}</ref> Television critic Tim Goodman of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' also reviewed the series positively, saying, "The series begins to find its pacing not long after, and we see the strength of Moura’s acting, which to his credit never races, in the early going, toward over-the-top menace or the drug-lord cliches we're all used to at this point.

The show received criticism for the quality of the Spanish spoken. Dr. Alister Ramírez-Márquez, a member of the [[North American Academy of the Spanish Language]], faulted the accents, pronunciation, intonation, and incorrect use of [[Paisa Region|Paisa]] colloquialisms.<ref>{{cite web|title=Impresiones: El mal español de 'Narcos'|url=http://www.univision.com/noticias/noticias-de-eeuu/impresiones-personajes-de-narcos-no-hablan-bien-el-espanol|website=www.univision.com|accessdate=July 30, 2017}}</ref> Speaking of the show's reception in Colombia, Sibylla Brodzinsky of ''[[The Guardian]]'' stated, "audiences have been bemused by the stars’ ropey accents, irritated by its portrayal of the country's recent history, and&nbsp;– in some cases&nbsp;– simply bored by yet another narco-drama."<ref name="Brodzinsky">{{cite web|last1=Brodzinsky|first1=Sibylla|title=Narcos is a hit for Netflix but iffy accents grate on Colombian ears|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/17/narcos-netflix-colombian-accents|website=The Guardian|accessdate=July 30, 2017|date=September 17, 2015}}</ref> The Brazilian accent of Wagner Moura was particularly criticized for being incongruent with Escobar's Paisa background.<ref name="Brodzinsky"/><ref name="GOrozco">{{cite web|last1=Orozco|first1=Gisela|title=Por qué el acento de Pablo Escobar en 'Narcos', te hará ver 'El patrón del mal'|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/hoy/ct-hoy-8461637-por-que-el-acento-de-pablo-escobar-en-narcos-te-hara-ver-el-patron-del-mal-story.html|website=Hoy|publisher=''Chicago Tribune''|accessdate=July 30, 2017|language=es}}</ref> Gisela Orozco of the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' said the show would not engross Latinos due to the mishmash of accents and contrasted ''Narcos'' with ''[[Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal]]''.<ref name="GOrozco"/> In his review of the show, Colombian TV critic Omar Rincón wrote in ''[[El Tiempo (Colombia)|El Tiempo]]'', "''Narcos'' is the Miami and US vision of NarColombia&nbsp;– something like [[Donald Trump|Trump]]’s idea of us: the good guys are the gringos&nbsp;... and the narcos are comically dysfunctional or primitives with bad taste&nbsp;... ''Narcos'' may do well outside Colombia, but here it produces anger and laughter."<ref name="Brodzinsky"/>

===Season 2===
The second season generated better reviews compared with those for the [[Narcos (season 1)|previous season]]. Rotten Tomatoes gives the second season an approval rating of 92% based on 22 reviews, with an average rating of 7.6/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "''Narcos''' sophomore season manages to elevate the stakes to a gut-wrenching degree in what continues to be a magnificent account of Pablo Escobar's life."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/narcos/s02/|title=Narcos: Season 2 (2016)|work=Rotten Tomatoes|accessdate=September 10, 2016}}</ref> On Metacritic, season two holds a score of 76 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/tv/narcos/season-2|title=Narcos Season 2|publisher=Metacritic|accessdate=September 10, 2016}}</ref>

[[IGN]] gave the second season a score of 7.4 out of 10, calling it "Good" and wrote "It may go overboard with its love of Pablo Escobar, but I can't truly fault the show for taking advantage of its best performer and character – or for scrambling to find an emotional core on a show that can feel rather clinical."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/09/01/narcos-season-2-review|title=Narcos: Season 2 Review|publisher=IGN|first=Matt|last=Fowler|date=August 31, 2016|accessdate=September 10, 2016}}</ref> Joshua Alston of ''[[The A.V.

The show relates the main events that happened in Colombia during this period and Escobar’s relationship to them. It is told through the perspective of [[Stephen Murphy (civil servant)|Steve Murphy]], an American DEA agent working in Colombia. The series depicts how Escobar first became involved in the cocaine trade in Colombia. He was an established [[black market]]eer in Medellín, moving trucks worth of illegal goods (alcohol, cigarettes, and household appliances) into Colombia during a time when this was strictly forbidden, when introduced to Mateo "Cockroach" Moreno, a [[Chile]]an exile and underground chemist, who pitched the idea that they go into business together, with Moreno producing and Escobar distributing a new, profitable drug—cocaine. They expand beyond Moreno's small cocaine processing lab by building additional, larger labs in the rainforest and, using the expertise of [[Carlos Lehder]], transport their product in bulk to Miami, where it gains notoriety amongst the rich and famous. Soon enough, Pablo develops larger labs and more extensive distribution routes into the United States to supply growing demand. With cocaine's growth into a drug of importance in the American market, one that accounts for a large flow of U.S. dollars to Colombia and escalating drug-related violence in the United States, the Americans send a task force from the DEA to Colombia to address the issue. Murphy is partnered with [[Javier Peña]]. The purpose of Murphy's task force is to work with the Colombian authorities, led by Colonel Carrillo, to put an end to the flow of cocaine into the United States. The season ends with Escobar's escape from prison. ===Season 2 (2016)=== {{main article|Narcos (season 2)}} Season two continues where season one ended. Soldiers find Escobar and his entourage right outside the perimeter of La Catedral, but are too petrified by Escobar to make an arrest. At the embassy, the United States sends a new ambassador who brings the CIA into play. In the beginning, little change occurs for Escobar, as he still has the loyalty of his cartel. This loyalty, however, starts to slip as Escobar needs more time and resources to hide from the government. Among the tricks he uses to avoid being seen are riding around town in the trunk of a taxi cab and using young lookouts to report police movements to him. Initially, Escobar easily adapts to his new life, giving money to the community while ruthlessly killing those who try to break away from his empire. The Colombian police and Escobar engage in massive battles, resulting in high tension and unrest in Colombia. Escobar's rivals in the Cali cartel form an unlikely alliance with ousted members of his own cartel, as well as with a CIA-backed anticommunist paramilitary group. Agent Peña secretly works with this group, who kill members of Pablo's organization and claim responsibility as "Los Pepes". After two of Escobar's top cartel members are caught and betray him, Escobar goes on the run. His bodyguard and he hide in a safehouse, where he celebrates his 44th birthday. When Pablo tries to make contact with his family, the DEA and military track him down via radio triangulation and corner him on the rooftops. Pablo is hit twice in the ensuing shootout, and although he might have survived his injuries, a Colombian policeman - Trujillo executes him, amidst shouts of "Viva Colombia!". Escobar's wife Tata goes to the Cali cartel for their help in leaving the country. Peña returns to the United States, in expectation of being reprimanded by the disciplinary committee for his associations with Los Pepes, but is surprised when asked to provide intelligence against the Cali cartel, implying his future involvement with the DEA. ===Season 3 (2017)=== {{main article|Narcos (season 3)}} Season three was released on September 1, 2017.<ref>{{Citation|last=Netflix|title=Narcos {{!}} Season 3 Teaser [HD] {{!}} Netflix|date=July 14, 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j73-IvTvNN0&feature=youtu.be|accessdate=August 2, 2017}}</ref> The story continues after Pablo Escobar's death and shows the DEA's fight against the Cali cartel. With Escobar out of the way, business for the cartel is booming, with new markets in the United States and elsewhere. To everyone's surprise, Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, the leader of the Cali cartel, announces that within 6 months, the cartel will leave the cocaine business entirely to focus on legal business interests. The decision is met with mixed reactions within the cartel. ==Cast== ===Main cast=== * [[Wagner Moura]] as [[Pablo Escobar]] – a Colombian drug lord and the leader of the [[Medellín Cartel]] (seasons 1-2) * [[Pedro Pascal]] as [[Javier Peña]] – a DEA agent given the task to bringing down Escobar and in season 3 the Cali Cartel.

The montage excludes some people who were unwilling to appear in the credits, but it does include some news clips and images "of Pablo Escobar and his entourage, like those at the zoo, [which] came directly from the drug baron’s personal photographer, who goes by the name El Chino."

The show relates the main events that happened in Colombia during this period and Escobar’s relationship to them. It is told through the perspective of [[Stephen Murphy (civil servant)|Steve Murphy]], an American DEA agent working in Colombia. The series depicts how Escobar first became involved in the cocaine trade in Colombia. He was an established [[black market]]eer in Medellín, moving trucks worth of illegal goods (alcohol, cigarettes, and household appliances) into Colombia during a time when this was strictly forbidden, when introduced to Mateo "Cockroach" Moreno, a [[Chile]]an exile and underground chemist, who pitched the idea that they go into business together, with Moreno producing and Escobar distributing a new, profitable drug—cocaine. They expand beyond Moreno's small cocaine processing lab by building additional, larger labs in the rainforest and, using the expertise of [[Carlos Lehder]], transport their product in bulk to Miami, where it gains notoriety amongst the rich and famous. Soon enough, Pablo develops larger labs and more extensive distribution routes into the United States to supply growing demand. With cocaine's growth into a drug of importance in the American market, one that accounts for a large flow of U.S. dollars to Colombia and escalating drug-related violence in the United States, the Americans send a task force from the DEA to Colombia to address the issue. Murphy is partnered with [[Javier Peña]]. The purpose of Murphy's task force is to work with the Colombian authorities, led by Colonel Carrillo, to put an end to the flow of cocaine into the United States. The season ends with Escobar's escape from prison. - -===Season 2 (2016)=== -{{main article|Narcos (season 2)}} - -Season two continues where season one ended. Soldiers find Escobar and his entourage right outside the perimeter of La Catedral, but are too petrified by Escobar to make an arrest. At the embassy, the United States sends a new ambassador who brings the CIA into play. In the beginning, little change occurs for Escobar, as he still has the loyalty of his cartel. This loyalty, however, starts to slip as Escobar needs more time and resources to hide from the government. Among the tricks he uses to avoid being seen are riding around town in the trunk of a taxi cab and using young lookouts to report police movements to him. - -Initially, Escobar easily adapts to his new life, giving money to the community while ruthlessly killing those who try to break away from his empire. The Colombian police and Escobar engage in massive battles, resulting in high tension and unrest in Colombia. Escobar's rivals in the Cali cartel form an unlikely alliance with ousted members of his own cartel, as well as with a CIA-backed anticommunist paramilitary group. Agent Peña secretly works with this group, who kill members of Pablo's organization and claim responsibility as "Los Pepes". After two of Escobar's top cartel members are caught and betray him, Escobar goes on the run. His bodyguard and he hide in a safehouse, where he celebrates his 44th birthday. When Pablo tries to make contact with his family, the DEA and military track him down via radio triangulation and corner him on the rooftops. Pablo is hit twice in the ensuing shootout, and although he might have survived his injuries, a Colombian policeman - Trujillo executes him, amidst shouts of "Viva Colombia!". Escobar's wife Tata goes to the Cali cartel for their help in leaving the country. Peña returns to the United States, in expectation of being reprimanded by the disciplinary committee for his associations with Los Pepes, but is surprised when asked to provide intelligence against the Cali cartel, implying his future involvement with the DEA. - -===Season 3 (2017)=== -{{main article|Narcos (season 3)}} -Season three was released on September 1, 2017.<ref>{{Citation|last=Netflix|title=Narcos {{!}} Season 3 Teaser [HD] {{!}} Netflix|date=July 14, 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j73-IvTvNN0&feature=youtu.be|accessdate=August 2, 2017}}</ref> The story continues after Pablo Escobar's death and shows the DEA's fight against the Cali cartel. With Escobar out of the way, business for the cartel is booming, with new markets in the United States and elsewhere. To everyone's surprise, Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, the leader of the Cali cartel, announces that within 6 months, the cartel will leave the cocaine business entirely to focus on legal business interests. The decision is met with mixed reactions within the cartel. - -==Cast== - -===Main cast=== -* [[Wagner Moura]] as [[Pablo Escobar]] – a Colombian drug lord and the leader of the [[Medellín Cartel]] (seasons 1-2) -* [[Pedro Pascal]] as [[Javier Peña]] – a DEA agent given the task to bringing down Escobar and in season 3 the Cali Cartel.

It is told through the perspective of [[Stephen Murphy (civil servant)|Steve Murphy]], an American DEA agent working in Colombia. The series depicts how Escobar first became involved in the cocaine trade in Colombia. He was an established [[black market]]eer in Medellín, moving trucks worth of illegal goods (alcohol, cigarettes, and household appliances) into Colombia during a time when this was strictly forbidden, when introduced to Mateo "Cockroach" Moreno, a [[Chile]]an exile and underground chemist, who pitched the idea that they go into business together, with Moreno producing and Escobar distributing a new, profitable drug—cocaine. They expand beyond Moreno's small cocaine processing lab by building additional, larger labs in the rainforest and, using the expertise of [[Carlos Lehder]], transport their product in bulk to Miami, where it gains notoriety amongst the rich and famous. Soon enough, Pablo develops larger labs and more extensive distribution routes into the United States to supply growing demand. With cocaine's growth into a drug of importance in the American market, one that accounts for a large flow of U.S. dollars to Colombia and escalating drug-related violence in the United States, the Americans send a task force from the DEA to Colombia to address the issue. Murphy is partnered with [[Javier Peña]].

After two of Escobar's top cartel members are caught and betray him, Escobar goes on the run. His bodyguard and he hide in a safehouse, where he celebrates his 44th birthday. When Pablo tries to make contact with his family, the DEA and military track him down via radio triangulation and corner him on the rooftops.
