That was a decent show, it showed both the perspective of the DEA and Pablo. If you ask me Netflix ripped off another Pablo series (which is must better IMO) and made Narcos to target it towards an American audience.

Once you've finished Narcos check out Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal. The production value isn't as good as Narcos but that show is about the Columbian view point and not the US. It shows how Pablo grew up and started his drug cartel. Its only 1 season long but there are 74 episodes so in HBO math that is 7 seasons of material. The entire show is in spanish with English subtitles but its pretty good. After a few episodes you're either hooked or your turn it off.

When you think about it, that guy and his murderous family were crazier than all American serial killers combined. They blew up a jet, murdered around a 1,000 cops, were also terrorists on top of narcos. They blew up buildings, murdered politicos, ran child prostitution rings and on and on.

I can't stop watching because I'm at the point in the series, early on where Pablo went from a pussy to a murderous hefeh, to becoming a demon from hell. I wonder what he'll do next? The reviews on netflix by columbians that live in Medellín say this is great crime history and 95% accurate.

From what I've read in reviews the only thing missing in that crime doc is his relationship he had with Castro and they left out the motorcycle murder teams that went after cops left and right in Medellín. In a few months when I'm done my spanish will be a hell of alot better.
