The bloody hunt for Pablo Escobar may finally be over, but for DEA agent Javier Peña (Pedro Pascal), the work is far from over. After chronicling the fall of the infamous drug lord during its first two seasons, the third season of Netflix's Narcos sets its sights on a group of four powerful godfathers known as the Cali Cartel who rose to succeed Escobar as the head of the Colombian drug trade. Netflix released the trailer for the upcoming third season of Narcos in New York today, and in fact will be showing the trailer at various locations around Manhattan via a Narcos truck, which will also be serving white powdered donuts and Colombian coffee to passersby throughout the day. For the rest of us, we'll have to make due with enjoying the trailer from the comfort of our own homes, likely while on the toliet.
"To take down the gentlemen of Cali, you'd have to be crazy, stupid, brave, and lucky. All at the same time."
I've been meaning to check out Narcos, but haven't been able to find the time; perhaps I should make the time as this trailer looks pretty damn intense. What do you folks think? Is Narcos worth checking out?
Cocaine cartels are all about succession: The day Pablo Escobar went down, the Cali Cartel became public enemy number one. They called themselves the Gentlemen of Cali – the biggest drug lords you’ve probably never heard of. Led by four powerful godfathers, the Cali Cartel turned the cocaine trade into a global enterprise. Now that the bloody hunt for Pablo Escobar has ended, the DEA turns its attention to the richest drug trafficking organization in the world: the Cali Cartel. Led by four powerful godfathers, this cartel operates much differently than Escobar’s, preferring to bribe government officials and keep its violent actions out of the headlines.
Narcos returns to Netflix on September 1, 2017.
