The New York Times

The series, fictionalized but grounded in real events, tells the story of Pablo Escobar and other drug traffickers in Colombia as they discovered, beginning in the 1970s, that a lot of money could be made by hooking people, especially wealthy Americans, on the drug.

The Verge

Narcos is excellent, the kind of crime drama Netflix can use to draw eyeballs away from HBO and the stalwarts running on CBS and NBC.

The Guardian

Netflix is not interested in your double-screening. With Narcos, it’s saying: please, set aside your phone, look directly at the TV.

IMDb

'Narcos' is more about spectacle, and a story whose morality is fundamentally black and white.
