I finished it as well. What a superb series. Loved every single one and

can't wait for them to go after the Cali cartel.

Has anybody found/can link a decent season 1 recap anywhere? The written ones I've found reference the real life story (which I've tried really hard to avoid) and the youtube ones are all annoying reviews rather than recaps...

I think its why it's called 'Narcos' and not 'Pablo', the story doesn't end with him dying. Wagner Moura, the actor who played Pablo, has said in several interviews that he wants and think there will be a season 3.....so I hope there will be, they can go after the Cali cartel smile

Netflix gives you a recap when you play S2 Ep1

I think we're on Ep4 - it's if anything even better this year.

Anyone speak Spanish?

Can't help but notice "poo-tah" seems to mean:

we,
fk
Mother-fker
bh

And about a half-dozen other swear words / slurs, how to the caption writers decide which is which? Is there only one decent swear word in Spanish?

Late to the party but I've started S1 last night and watched the first two episodes. Will crack on with some more tonight and then read the thread in detail. So far so good...

From what I gather Puta can be used to call someone a b*tch or a wh*re or to replace the f word. Puta madre then becomes motherf*cker. Puto is the masculine equivalent. You also have the word pendejo used frequently which means idiot and mierda which means sh*t.

On a different note, got to the end of season 2 tonight. Might end up rewatching it all from season 1 again in a few weeks. Superb show.

Finished it last night, brilliant as ever. Its the only program that I have ever felt the need to watch every episode immediately. Need more.

I like in the last episode where the 2 real DEA agents were seen for a second toasting in a bar to the news of the death of Pablo Escobar
I dearly hope that they do a third series, I don't know if there is enough of a draw for people to watch it now that Pablo Escobar is out, (lets face it, he's why 90% of the viewership watched it).

Finished it last night and managed to squeeze in Sicario before bedtime. The bloke who played Peña reminds me of Jack Wilson in Any Which Way You Can.

Very good series. Presumably the next ones will be the Cali cartel? Or the Mexicans? Plenty of material in any case.

BTW if anyone is interested in news of narcos, this site is worth a look: http://www.insightcrime.org/
