The show is only available on Netflix.  If you don't have Netflix I promise you that THIS is the reason to get it. 

I blogged recently about how I was excited about this show and I would check it out.  last week I put on the first episode after getting out of work.  13 hours later I had finished season 1.  I did nothing but binge watch this show episode after episode back to back and when the season ended I was legit sad.

The story follows the life of Colombian drug cartel leader Pablo Escobar who I have always been fascinated by and it does a really good job of staying true to his story.  That is the one side..the story also follows the DEA agents who would eventually bring Escobar down.  My biggest worry going into this is that they would try and do the Colombian characters in English with accents....that would just be lame.  They did not.  All of the Colombian dialogue is in Spanish with subtitles.  The acting is amazing as well.  Wagner Moura plays Escobar and deserves to win every award Hollywood has to offer.

The dialogue, actors, the location and the music are all perfect.  This is the best show I have seen on TV since the Sopranos and I'm not sure it isn't better.  I really cannot wait for season 2.

P.S.  If you don't like violent scenes, nudity, bad language, violence, violence and more violence than you should not watch.  The rest of you proceed and thank me later.
