Hell Yeah, Bros! ‘Narcos’ Is Coming Back To Netflix For Season 2

“”

Not going to lie, every waking, non-working hour of my past week has been obsessing over the Netflix show Narcos. It’s easily the best Netflix series that I’ve ever watched — 20x more dramatic than House Of Cards, more compelling than Bloodline. I think Orange Is The New Black is a heap of overrated smoldering garbage, so that’s not even in contention for me.

But the very first second of the very first scene in Netflix’s Narcos, I knew I was hooked. The series is about the DEA’s cat-and-mouse game with the world’s most notorious cocaine kingpin, Pablo Escobar. It combines elements from some of my favorite movies of all time: Blow meets Goodfellas meets Casino meets everything that Vinnie Chase’s Medellín in Entourage was supposed to be, minus Johnny Drama banging groupies on a beach. Plus the music sounds exactly like the Red Dead Redemption video game. It’s might as well be a Clint Eastern western on steroids with billions of dollars on the line and cocaine. Nacros rules.

I know this is a bold statement, but it’s the most I’ve enjoyed a TV series since Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad. There are boobs, blood, violence, and relentless quests for power, making it one of the most badass television series I’ve watched in a very long time. And the best part is that it will be back for a second season, as announced by Netflix today. Woo!

If you don’t want the show spoiled since it is history, I highly recommend you don’t watch ESPN’s The Two Escobars 30 for 30 or read his Wikipedia page for the next year, especially the parts about Escobar’s death in 1993.

Oops — Did I just ruin something for you?
