	Author	Review
United States	Michael Starr New York Post	"[3rd Season Review]: Pascal lends the series the continuity it needs, both in tone and context (...) The elements that made 'Narcos' so compelling in its first two seasons are all here (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: The drug war might be lost, but the best version of this show is found (...) Season 3 continues that journey with an investment in human storytelling."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[3rd Season Review]: After watching six of the new season's 10 episodes, I was reasonably hooked and eager to see the rest of them (...) Stick with the show through the place-setting opening and know that it finds its footing."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[3rd Season Review]: The array of characters is particularly strong (...) 'Narcos' remains tense -- almost unbearably so at times -- bleak and disturbing (...) [It delivers] the same high."	POS
United States	James Hibberd Entertainment Weekly	"[3rd Season Review]: Salcedo becomes the show’s stealth star and the main reason you stay on the couch watching every time the next episode automatically spins up."	POS
United States	Melanie McFarland Salon	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Narcos' uses the downfall of the Cali syndicate in the late 1990s to rectify some of the first and second season's more significant flaws (...) It’s still signature 'Narcos'."	POS
United States	Mark Perigard Boston Herald	"[2nd Season Review]: The second season of Netflix's gripping true-life crime thriller 'Narcos' proves once again that real life is more bizarre than fiction."	POS
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"[2nd Season Review]: Allow yourself to be mesmerized and appalled at one of the most outrageous true crime dramas ever filmed. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Narcos' provokes us to question media representations of villainy, fictional and otherwise, and challenges us to wrestle with Escobar's humanity and evil."	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2 requires more attentive viewing than Season 1 did — there are more players, alliances and animosities to track — but it also gives the writers characters other than Escobar to develop."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Functioning as a history lesson as well as a compelling drama, “Narcos” has a “Goodfellas” vibe, inasmuch as it offers a heavily narrated, first-person account of the rise of a drug kingpin (...) a taut, gripping narrative (....) Unlike most series, “Narcos” isn’t about the players, but the game."	POS
United Kingdom	Matilda Battersby The Independent	"Not since Walter White and Jesse Pinkman's last batch of blue crystal meth has Netflix offered up a crime and drugs drama quite this addictive."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"The world doesn’t seem to lack for Pablo Escobar biopics (...) Narcos separates itself from the pack with an impressive breadth and depth. (...) Narcos smartly concerns itself with telling the story from a number of perspectives, but with an overriding care to never depict Americans as the heroes"	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"Get hooked on Netflix’s compelling drug war saga (...) Moura is especially compelling as he manipulates the seeming incongruities of Escobar’s character to heighten his aura of unpredictable menace"	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"Electrifying (...) Escobar remains inscrutable (...) But “Narcos” is nevertheless addictive, compelling, shocking, and even educational."	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"An irresistible drama (...) A prize-worthy performance by the Brazilian actor Wagner Moura"	POS
United States	David Hinckley New York Daily News	"Realistic look at 1990s drug lord Pablo Escobar and his pursuer on Netflix (...) One of the strengths of Narcos is its refusal to paint anyone as purely good or bad. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)	POS
