The rise and violent reign of '80s-era Colombian kingpin Pablo Escobar provided the grist for this compelling, fact-inspired Netflix crime series. As the ambitious smuggler Escobar (Wagner Moura) built up the Medellin Cartel that would ultimately claim 80% of America's cocaine traffic, DEA agents Steve Murphy (Boyd Holbrook) and Javier Peña (Pedro Pascal) had the seemingly insurmountable task of breaking his operations. Joanna Christie, Paulina Gaitan, Diego Cataño, Maurice Compte also star.
