"In the United States, the Mafia makes witnesses disappear so they can't testify in court. In Colombia, Pablo Escobar made the whole court disappear."- Steve Murphy.
That statement alone from the real life Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Steve Murphy will give you chills on your spine. It shows you how powerful and influential Pablo Escobar is, which is often called as the Da Vinci of crime. Escobar not only mastered the art of doing hellacious crime, he lived through it and ultimately died by it.
Narcos, the TV crime web series was able to depict the story of one of the greatest and notorious kingpin of all time, Pablo Escobar. It was a fresh breath of air in a TV series since its is based on true to life stories. Most of the TV series right now are either based on comics or plainly from one of the novels.
First season of Narcos was released last August 28 2015 on Netflix. It consist ten wonderful episodes which embodied the real events that happened during the war on drugs in Columbia. As for its leader, Pablo Escobar started as a small time "criminal" then he made his move. The move that eventually elevated him from a low life criminal to the biggest drug cartel imaginable.
Season 2 was no different as Escobar's Medallin cartel keeps getting stronger and stronger. He became bigger than his government. However, the tides have changed as the government and with the help of DEA Pena and Murphy is about to struck. There were scenes on season 2 that shows how slick and how sneaky Escobar can be. Unfortunately as they say "You're fast, but you can't run forever". As soon as Escobar made contact with his family on his 44th birthday, enforcers was able to track his location.
The rest was history, Trujillo killed Escobar with a shot to the head. But it was just the beginning of the war against drugs. And as per the series, they are already filming season 3 and season 4. This was confirmed by Netflix on their twitter account where it shows that Pena is on a podium giving press conference.
Wagner Moura's impressive portrayal as Escobar is one for the books and can never be duplicated. The actor showed his brilliance in acting and hopefully open more doors for him in showbizness. But now, lets watch a clip that shows the magnitude of Escobar's power.
