The series humanizes Escobar as a family man and a populist for the poor (building Barrio Pablo Escobar ) but never excuses his terrorism: bombings, assassinations of ministers, judges, and journalist Guillermo Cano.
If you want a fast-paced thriller, watch Narcos . If you want the complete work —the encyclopedia of Escobar’s reign— El Patrón del Mal is the winner.
Escobar’s failed attempt to enter congress and his subsequent declaration of war against the Colombian state.
