[McCroskey 1504]

Damn. No trailer?

Can’t believe I missed this.

[NOMAAA 1696]

F yes

[utxmike05 1828]

In. But totally forgot how season 2 ended. 

[Mac8111 2107]

What a pleasant surprise.

[Knoxtnhorn 5991]

Wait.  What?  It comes out tomorrow?  F yeah!

This right here.  I hope they have a "recap" at the beginning cause I don't remember how it ended or who the characters were at this point.

walt changes his name and starts building computers.

[utxmike05 1828]

Aight just watched some recaps on the you tube. 
I’m ready. Basically Felix lost control of everyone and got arrested.  Walt CIA had a failed attempt to seize 70 ton shipment and his team got fucked up.  All the families have no one to rule them now so they say this is the start of the Mexican Drug Wars. 

[RPM 26322]

I stopped 2 eps in until this weekend when I can watch at home on big screen. So far muy caliente.

[utxmike05 1828]

Downloaded first 2 eps to watch on a flight later….from El Paso to Houston…perfect timing.

Jesus, how much cash does big tobacco pay Netflix?  I swear every character's gotta light up while the camera zooms in on the cigarette and the crackling sound amplifies. Other than that pet peeve, so far so good.

 

 

[Knoxtnhorn 5991]

Such a great series.

You know something's good when you struggle between binging and savoring.

You ain't lying. Every character is seen lighting up.

Tell me you're a reformed smoker without telling me.

[Davis Lane 5586]

Finished it up.

Well....Pacho is one intense motherfucker.

Walt needs help.

I'm never going to Mexico again.

[KaiserSoze 998]

Finished Season 3 today- great season- very much enjoyed it.

Agreed that the constant smoking really stood out. At one point there was a scene with the journalist chick washing her hands in a bathroom and my first though was, "I'm surprised she isn't smoking a cigarette even while washing her hands".

Bad news it's even more in Spanish than other seasons. Maybe 90%. Its still worth the watch. 

Spoiler

Mexicans speak Spanish.

 

[demos 3003]

If you want some background on the stuff happening in this season, check out Narcoland by Anabel Hernandez.

Glad we got the Carrillo Fuentes conspiracy theory at the end.

 

[Not a cat 5658]

Great season.  But....

Spoiler

I'm not really sure that the whole serial killer Victor plot line really fit.  Seemed to take away from talking about, you know, narcos and shit.

I think character of Victor was important to illustrate just how hopeless the situation is in Juarez. 

[DDD Dad 14339]

Watched the first two episodes on a flight last night from Oregon.  Having trouble deciding whether to savor or binge.

[kevwun 15790]

Watched the first episode late last night and I wanted to stay up the rest of the night watching.  Damn this show is good.  I think it's the best drama series going.

[MissingInAction 25104]

Btw, Chapo's voice really sounds like that. 

[HoustonFrog 368]

Felt like season ended with a dud

[Lat22 4014]

I don’t know how that can be the final season.  Chapo is just getting started. 

[4th&Five 41558]

I have 3 left but it’s easily my least favorite season of all the Narcos. 

[HoustonFrog 368]

This. I thought they would move the timeline way further

[pepper brooks 580]

The journalist senorita makes this season all worth it.  mucha fuega

Still love the series but I agree.   Caveat is that the Juarez policeman/journalist plot lines really gave the show a lot of depth.  

Almost like season 4 and 5 of the Wire made you realize how fucking grand the whole project was.  I didn't enjoy them as much but made you realize how audacious the series was.

If you know people there or stick to tourist areas its just fine and a fuckton of fun. I'm a giant ginger who sticks out like herpes and no one ever fucks with me down there.

Heh.  That's awesome.

[Jameslaw121 4448]

Still an awesome show, but didn't really understand the rogue Mexican cop/girls thing. And the last episode really fell flat for me.

 

[kevwun 15790]

The missing girls of Juarez Has been a big deal for many years.  They made more of an effort this season to show how normal people are hurt by the cartels.

[henrygandorf 29191]

i thought it was unrealistic that one of the arellano brothers was wearing a jordan 45 jersey since it was early 1994.

otherwise it continues to be awesome.

[Gene Parmesan 4007]

Finished up last night.  It's well done but enjoyed the first 2 seasons more.  This one had so much going on that the narcos were kind of in the background.  I mean Amado pretty much just built a house the whole season and then the last episode gets into some action and dies.

100% this

There’s a pretty good podcast on iHeartRadio on the issue if anyone is interested  

“Forgotten: Woman of Juarez”

It deserves its own show, not some minor subplot in one season of Narcos.

Never going to happen.  If I go it will be with the Bexar Cartel - me and my brothers.

Wife was a trooper in Puebla, though, I will admit ("If we go to Mexico again, I want to be at the beach"). 

The hotel pool bar, and only exploring by day, kept her happy.  ("No, I don't want street food, we have a good restaurant at the hotel."

(Azul Talavara hotel, fyi)

[billfromlaketravis 11494]

I enjoyed Season 3. I think they could make another season focused on Chapo and Mayo. 
 

I liked Dina’s character, but did a woman really run the Tijuana Plaza? 

[Rickylovesweed 14352]

I thought season 3 was great. I hope there's a season 4. 

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

Yeah, they need a chapo season if not two.
