    Masterful Cinema

    Load of rubbish!!

    Myron Clemons

    A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

    Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

    I'm just gonna cut to the chase here, many people have already said dozens of things about this series. El Chapo is ambitious, but it's imperfections become obvious very soon. Whether you'll like this one will depend of course on your expectations, and this series has things to offer and also a few things that are lacking. What El Chapo offers is a compelling - and ongoing - story about one of the most wealthy drug lords in the world. The story is told with eye to detail, and sheds a light on all facets of the enormous drug problem that cripples Mexican society. Its tone is grim, a bit flat, which is somewhat fitting to this particular story. But what El Chapo is missing so profoundly is a heart. Nowhere in the series are there any true compelling and sympathetic characters. Whilst watching Narcos, I had that odd feeling of rooting for Escobar, even though I knew what he was. But never ever did I really root for El Chapo. I am in the middle of season 3 now and honestly, I just want to see him get killed. To me he's just uneducated, uncharismatic, callous and empty. But the 'good guys' aren't really nice either. Even the DEA is portrayed as an organisation that's after their cut of the business more than they are about fighting crime. And I know this is probably very close to the truth - but a series or movie simply needs at least one relatable character. In a country where good and bad are often indistinguishable from each other, it seems only fair to paint the picture as such. Yet while El Chapo shouldn't try to be another Narcos, it should have taken more notes. If you just like to be amused by a good, watchable story about true crime, I'd say give it a try. But if you expect a new Breaking Bad, a new Narcos or The Wire, you will be sorely disappointed.

    I love this show!! It is extremely intense which makes it amazing! I loved how it focuses more on El chapo rather than the cop in narcos! I can't wait for the new season. HIGHLY recommend

    Dig deeper into the world of El Chapo, one of the most notorious king pins of all time,and learn and see how cartels work. the Narcos had a different theme from this one, it had a very much more colorful plot and story,way much better dialogue and splendid actors. this one, on the other hand is somewhat mediocre plot-wise and actor-wise, but the way that the corruption in government is shown is amazing,and also its really great that there is no DEA agent searching for him or some American narrative thrown in the story. good to watch

    I think this show is very good and very well done.. What an interesting story to follow if you do not know the mans complete background which most Americans ( like myself ) do not. 9 episodes though? I also believe Narcos is a very good show and Surviving Escobar is good, but 60 episodes?? Bud316
