Season overview
Narcos is an American crime drama television series that premiered in 2015. Created and produced by Chris Brancato, Carlo Bernard, and Doug Miro, the show is set and filmed in Colombia. The first season serves as a gritty chronicle of the war against the country's powerful and violent drug cartels. The narrative focuses on the criminal exploits of Pablo Escobar, the leader of the Medellin Cartel who became a billionaire through the production and distribution of cocaine. The series explores Escobar's rise to power, depicting him as a ruthless drug lord and terrorist who simultaneously served as a congressman and maintained a reputation as a family man. Among the poor, he was often viewed as a modern Robin Hood figure. The plot begins when a Chilean drug chemist known as Cockroach brings his product to Escobar, prompting DEA agent Steve Murphy to join the conflict. In addition to Escobar, the series examines the actions of other drug kingpins who plagued Colombia throughout the years. The production features a cast including Wagner Moura, Boyd Holbrook, Pedro Pascal, and Alberto Ammann, documenting the intense struggle between law enforcement and the illicit organizations operating within the nation.
