I just finished bingeing season 2 of Narcos.

I really liked it. The whole thing, beginning to end. 

Now that I'm finished I find the background chatter in my brain is Spanish, with lots of curse words mixed in. It was like watching Deadwood, which made me talk like the barkeep Swearengen. Cocksucker this guy, cocksucker that one. Or The Wire which taught my inner-voice to speak like a black man in Baltimore. Now I speak to myself in Spanish, not having much of an idea what I'm talking about, but I do know what puta means and puta madre. It seems in Spanish they use that word a lot especially Pablo Escobar. I know how to pronounce Pablo btw, the b is almost but not quite silent. And I know how to tell someone to relax in Spanish. 

Maybe that's what made Narcos so interesting. It's mostly in Spanish with English subtitles. So I was able to learn and practice a new language while watching it. I like doing that.

There's a great line near the end of the last episode which will be iconic among Narcos fans, because it's such a surprise and so well done. I'm not going to spoil it here, for that you'll have to click a link. 

Anyway if you like The Sopranos, or Deadwood, The Wire or any other violent HBO-type series, Narcos is for you.
