In fact, many considered the sophomore effort to be more effective in certain ways, particularly by putting the stellar Wagner Moura in the spotlight more as the admirably villainous Pablo Escobar.
It’s definitely no surprise from a business perspective that Netflix decided to give Narcos another two seasons to potentially wrap up its central narrative, which has largely been based on true events.
(Particularly by certain people.)
The first season was reportedly up there with the more popular Netflix original series – at least if you believe the unofficial ratings reports – and given how well it was received, I’d assume Season 2 will be viewed similarly.
