All ten episodes of Narcos: Season 3 will be available on Netflix beginning September 1, 2017. The first two seasons dealt with the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar and Colombia’s Medellin cartel. This season tells the story of the Cali cartel led by the brothers Gilberto and Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela, and their partners, Pacho Herrera, and Jose Santancruz Londoño.

Chilean-born Pedro Pascal returns as real-life DEA agent Javier Peña, although Peña actually left Colombia in 1994 after Escobar’s death. Pascal is a wonderful actor, but I wish one of the fine actors in Colombia would’ve been cast in the role.

By the mid-90s the Cali cartel controlled over 90% of the world’s cocaine market. The DEA considered the multi-billion dollar organization, “The most powerful crime syndicate in history.”

For those of you who like gritty, real-life drama, I suggest you tune-in.
