Alright, listen up, y’all. Let’s talk about this Narcos thing on Netflix, you know, the one about them drug fellas. Folks keep jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d give ya my two cents, even though I ain’t no fancy TV critic or nothin’.
First off, they say this El Chapo fella on Netflix, well, that’s kinda sorta true, they say. But like them stories they tell around the campfire, they spice it up a bit, make it more excitin’. Guess they gotta keep folks entertained, right? I heard on the radio that this El Chapo was a real big shot, rich as mud and powerful as a bull. Forbes magazine, you know, the one with all them fancy rich folks, they said he was one of the richest in Mexico. Can ya believe that? All that money from… well, you know.
Now, this Narcos show, it went on for three seasons, they tell me. First couple seasons was all about this Pablo Escobar fella, how he got to be so powerful. Then, after he got himself kilt, the show went on about what happened after. It’s like one of them soap operas, but with more guns and less cryin’, I reckon.
There’s this fella, Javier F. Peña, they say he was a real-life drug agent, chased after Escobar and his gang. He even helped out with the show, makin’ sure they got things mostly right, or so they say. I guess he knows a thing or two about that whole mess.
- So, who made this Narcos show anyway? Some fellas named Chris Brancato and Carlo Bernard, they say. Guess they did a pretty good job, seein’ as everyone’s talkin’ ’bout it.
- And then they got this other show, “Inside the Real Narcos,” with a tough-lookin’ fella named Jason Fox. He used to be in the army, they say, and he goes around followin’ real drug dealers in Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. That sounds like a heap of trouble to me.
The third season, they say, it’s all about life after Pablo. What happens when the big boss is gone? Chaos, I reckon. Just like when the rooster gets eaten by the fox, the hens run around cluckin’ every which way. That’s how I figure it is with them drug cartels.
This Narcos show, it ain’t just about shootin’ and drug runnin’, though. It’s also about how folks get corrupted. You know, how money and power can make good people do bad things. It’s like that old sayin’, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” I heard that from a preacher once, and it stuck with me. It ain’t just them drug fellas, it’s the cops, the politicians, everybody gets a little dirty when there’s money involved. That’s what this Narcos makes statements about corruption on all sides business is all about. It makes you think, you know? Makes you wonder who’s really the good guys and who’s the bad guys. Maybe ain’t no good guys at all, just folks tryin’ to get by, one way or another.
And this whole thing, it’s based on real stuff, they tell me. Real events, real people. But like I said, they gussy it up for the TV, make it more excitin’. You gotta take it with a grain of salt, you know? Don’t go believin’ everythin’ you see on the TV, that’s what my mama always told me. But it sure does make for some good watchin’, I gotta admit. Just don’t let it give ya nightmares.
So, that’s my take on this Narcos thing. It’s a story about drugs, power, and corruption. It’s got shootin’, it’s got drama, and it’s got a whole lotta folks doin’ things they probably shouldn’t. But hey, that’s what makes it interestin’, right? Just remember, it’s just a story. Don’t go gettin’ any ideas about runnin’ off to join a drug cartel or nothin’. You hear me?
