In November, if you must watch an American drama, it must be the third season of "Narcos: Mexico".
The series, based on the true "drug lord" story, staged the ending, which is also the boldest and highest-level drama produced by Netflix, and the Douban rating was all above 9 points before.
The latest "Narcos: Mexico" season three opened at Douban 9.1 and currently remains at 8.9.
From the first season of "Narcos" that began in 2015 to the end of the third season of "Narcos: Mexico" this year, 6 years, two seasons, let countless fans marvel at it, such themes, textures, production standards are impeccable, is a veritable divine drama.
After watching the 10 episodes of the third season of the latest "Narcos: Mexico" in one breath, some viewers left a message saying: After brushing in one breath, the last aftertaste left is only emptiness and emptiness.
It is no wonder that many people say that it is "the strongest drama in Netfilx" is not exaggerated, and some people compare it with the literary masterpiece "One Hundred Years of Solitude", saying that "if the representative book of magic realism is "One Hundred Years of Solitude", the drug lord series can be said to be the representative work of magic realism TV series."
The most awe-inspiring thing is that the entire filming process of "Narcos" and "Narcos: Mexico" is full of danger, the crew is threatened, and the staff is killed, and the crew is really shooting with their lives.
From the first season, "Narcos" focused on Colombia's biggest drug lord Pablo Escobar, the most arrogant drug lord of all time. He was killed by the military on December 2, 1993.
However, Pablo Escobar's younger brother, Robert Escobar, took the show's producer, Netflix, to court and claimed a billion dollars for his belief that Netflix had used Escobar's name for unauthorized use of the tv series Narcos. He claims that he has already washed his hands in the golden basin and said that all the people and brands associated with the group are copyrighted by Escobal.
Later, Munoz (pictured below), a veteran landscaper on the Narcos crew, was killed while casting in Mexico, and his body was found in a car with bullet holes on the Mexican border, and the killer has not yet been found.
So Robert Escobar once again threatened the filmmakers, saying: "If I don't receive the money, you guys don't shoot this little drama!" Robert Escobar later said Netflix was particularly frightened and wrote him a long letter in which lawyers were negotiating reparations.
But even in this context, the drug lord's spin-off series "Narcos: Mexico" continued to be filmed, and the drama moved from Colombia to Mexico, focusing on the Guadalajara drug cartel in Mexico.
The finale of the third season of Narcos: Mexico feels unfinished: the story does not have a happy ending, in fact, it has no ending at all.
But that's precisely the creator's choice — the show's chief producer, Carlo Bernard, said of the show's ending: Unfortunately, the drug trade continues with no end in sight.
After watching the show, many viewers speculated that Amado may not be dead, seemingly implying that he was still alive.
In response, chief producer Carlo Bernard replied cleverly, saying, "We want to nod our heads playfully at this." I can't speak for the characters, and we want to talk about the mystery and ambiguity that the drug trade always seems to cause. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration confirmed Armando's death at the time, raising questions about whether he was an informant, but then the body disappeared. The doctor who was in the operating room at the time of Armando's death later died. I think the lack of witnesses has increased to some extent the speculation about whether he is alive or dead. ”
Although "Narcos: Mexico" is over, Netflix will continue to make "Narcos" themes!
The latest episode will be a 6-episode limited-edition series of "Griselda" created by the Netflix "Narcos" team, which will focus on the Colombian female drug lord known as "Black Widow": Griselda Blanco.
Sofia Vergara, a Sexy Colombian actress who starred in Modern Family, will play the "Black Widow."
Grizzerda Blanco, known as the "Queen of Cocaine," was a former "mentor" to Colombia's number one drug lord, Pablo Escobar, one of the most aggressive cocaine traffickers of the 1980s and a key figure in Miami's drug war.
In the early 1970s, Blanco used a private jet to transport Colombian cocaine to New York, usa, and became the largest drug supplier of the five mafia families, a figure that caused a lot of headaches for the U.S. drug enforcement police. In addition to the more than 200 lives she carried in the drug trade, both of her husbands died at her hands, known as the "Black Widow."
She was sentenced to 20 years in prison by a U.S. court in 1985 on drug smuggling charges, and then returned to Colombia in 2004 before keeping a low profile.
On September 3, 2012, she was shot dead when she came out of a meat shop in the Belém district of Medellín, Colombia: a motorcycle suddenly burst out of a street corner, and two men in the car shot her in the head, and she died on the way to the hospital at the age of 69.
She has four sons, 2 of whom died under a gun for their gang association, 1 serving a sentence in a U.S. prison, and the youngest suffering from a mental disorder.
Grezzerda Blanco's story has previously been brought to the big screen, and in the 2017 film "The Godmother", which is based on her story, the famous actress Catherine Zeta-Jones played her (below).
There is no doubt that such a theme will continue the sharpness of "Narcos", and how the beautiful actress will interpret the female drug lord "Black Widow", it is worth looking forward to!
