Finished episode 8,9,10 earlier and it has been a brilliant 10 episode series.

Bring on series 2!

Late to the party. I'm three in and enjoying it. I don't particularly like the DEA actor but that is a small gripe

Josh · 7 Sep 2015 at 09:47

Watched 1-9 yesterday, looking forward to 10 this evening.

Enjoying it very much, wasn't expecting it to be any good but I was very surpirsed.

Finished it the other day, it was immense! Looking forward to the next lot.

Got through the first 3 over the weekend and enjoyed it, only problem is having to keep my glasses/contacts in for reading the subtitles

Started watching this and i am very impressed. Each episode is like a film in its self. up to episode 3.

Thanks for the heads up.

Finished watching these last night. It was totally engaging, I love all this Clear and Present Danger stuff.

Great main actor, he did a really good job. I also thought Pedro Pascal (aka Prince Oberyn from Game of Thrones if you didn't spot it) did a great job as Javier Pena.

Best thing I've seen on TV so far this year, IMDb gives this 9.2 and I think that's spot on.

Yup just finished it, the chap who played Pablo was fantastic.

Very much enjoyed it

Excellent show but...

I feel it would have been better if it had ended with Escobars death but that's not how American series work I suppose

Disagree, that's exactly how they normally do end. I'm glad they've decided to tell the story properly.

ElliorR · 9 Sep 2015 at 20:39

Yes tell the story properly but end the series with the death of Escobar which happened in 1993 instead of taking it to a second series covering Escobar again. I, personally, think that would have made for a better self contained season. A couple of more episodes would have done it nicely.

Great show, well interested in anything else the producers put together

Much more to his life before he died, all will be explained in season 2.

Just go and read about his life on Wiki, that will give you a clue.

Glanza · 14 Sep 2015 at 18:06

Binged it yesterday enjoyed every moment, not sure why they've left it open when they could have ended it with that last firefight.

He did die in one

I had the feeling they wouldn't be doing a second, or at least be about someone else, since without explaining the rest of the story there isn't much left to fill out another season.
