Narcos: Mexico

 Just finished. Better than expected for sure- very solid overall with some great moments/episodes. Overall, not quite as good as the original Narcos but absolutely worth watching.

Season 1- 8.5/10. Starts a bit slow but intense storyline towards the end. Felix is actually likeable for most and interesting seeing him build his empire. Last few episodes thrilling.

Season 2- 9/10. Great season- lot of good and exciting storylines. Felix becomes an absolute scumbag which is pretty entertaining. The walt storyline is pretty good.

Season 3- 6.5. Still semi entertaining but the loss of Diego Luna hits hard. Highlight is definitely the battle between Sinaloa and Tijuana. Missed opportunity with Amado, not much going on with him. Walt suddenly is terrible for some reason. Awful subplot with the reporting. Great subplot with the cop stuff.

Characters

Great- Felix, Victor, Don Neto

Good- Amado, Benjamin, Chapo, Hector Palma, Kiki

Okay- Ramon, Jamie, Rafa

Bad- Enendina, Azul

Terrible- Andrea

Thoughts on "You" (TV Series)

 S1- 6/10. Entertaining but awful characters.

S2- 9/10. Pretty great. Peak characters, fun twisty storyline.

S3- 6/10. Good characters, but plot gets really dull in middle. Some unsatisfying directions the show goes.


Overall Season 2 was great TV but the other two were heavily flawed. Highlight is definitely Penn Badgely as Joe. 

Character rankings:

Best- Joe

Good- Love (great S2, weak S3), Cary, Sherry, Marrienne, Ellie, Delilah, Forty

Okay- Matthew, Will

Bad- Beck, Theo

Awful- Peach, Candace
