Update (3 Sep 2017): My wife and I binged-watched all 10 episodes of the third season of Narcos this Labor Day weekend. To avoid spoilers, all we will say are two things: (1) the show paints a compelling picture of corruption permeating all levels of Colombia’s government, and (2) the show’s main protagonist, Agent Javier Pena (played by Pedro Pascal), personifies the utter futility of the war on drugs.
