Since Netflix released the first ten episodes of the first season at one time, "Drug Lords" has attracted the attention of the audience with its concise and clear narrative, intriguing true stories, and thrilling police and robbers. It has a rating of 8.2 by Mtime.com and scored by IMDB. It is even more than 9.2 points, which is a masterpiece of compliment.
The adaptation of real events brings out the
chills in minutes. This very pornographic and violent drama series is adapted from real events. The prototype of the story Pablo Escobar Govilha’s influence in Colombia still exists today. The U.S. government and the Colombian government have joined forces from the 1970s to the 1990s and launched a nearly 20-year drug war. The Colombian drug trafficking business created by Pablo is now controlled by guerrillas and other drug dealers. Exporting drugs to the United States and other regions.
Throughout the first season, along with the protagonist American DEA agent Steven Murphy’s quite substituting and ridiculous narration, Pablo’s journey from smugglers to big drug lord, establishment of a drug empire, intention to run for president, and assassination Major events such as presidential candidates, bombing air crashes, negotiations with the president to build prisons and escapes, each episode shows the extraordinary business acumen and bloodthirsty nature of the drug lord.
In the first episode, Pablo said that he can be a wealthy boss like Al Capone (Robert De Niro played this character in "The Selfless") in the American Prohibition Period, and his subordinates Said mockingly: "You are a real bastard, Carbon doesn't have as much cash as you." How much cash does Pablo have? Money laundering cannot be laundered and can only be buried in the ground or given to the poor. Afterwards, the detailed description of it in the series also showed Pablo's ambition and extreme violent: his subordinates killed the police and directly compensated his family with $1 million; he would shoot his partner who brought him wealth fortune; in order to eliminate his disadvantages. The controlled archives directly sent people to attack the court... The detailed display of many evil deeds is jaw-dropping.
Because it is an adaptation of a real event, a large number of real historical materials and images have been used in the film, including the speeches of President Nixon and President Reagan, the scene of the plane bomb crash, and the life and life of the photographer hired by the drug lord Pablo. The work videos remind the audience that these are real. Those dirty transactions and bloody murders were made by this man who was once called the "Colombian Robin Hood."
As for why it is called Robin Hood, it is also Pablo’s strategy to gain popular support: if there is too much money to be laundered, and if you want to get into politics, then you should give money to the poor and let them support yourself. To this day, there are still some people in Colombia. Call him Robin Hood.
Look at other people’s “web dramas”
since the launch of “House of Cards”, Netflix has become a quality-guaranteed media platform in the hearts of audiences. Not long after the craze for “Super Feeling Eight” has just receded, Netflix created “Drug Lord” It's as addictive as drugs and can't stop it. People's "online dramas" once again greatly surpassed domestically produced dramas.
"Drug Lord" can successfully attract the audience, in addition to the fierce and true story, the sophisticated production is also one of the highlights. A closer look at the information reveals that the production team basically comes from the once-acclaimed movie "Elite Force". The director of the "Elite Force" series José Padilla himself also directed the first two episodes of the series, which is unique to South America. Combining the unique photography style, with the constant conflicts between the characters and quick editing, the audience can easily enter the plot.
Unlike "True Detective", which allowed the audience to wait for episodes 3 and 4 to have a high-level gunfight, "Drug Lord" did not hesitate to invest in the action scenes. It suppressed Pablo's killer group and besieged the drug lord partner Gacha. The plot may be unforgettable for the audience. Two of the anti-drug drama agents chase down the killer from the top of the building. From action design and plot design to photography and editing, the level of excitement is close to that of "Fast and Passion 5" Don boss The action scene in which people were chased by gangsters in Rio de Janeiro made the audience very addicted.
Very pornographic, violent, retro and not corrupt.
"Drug Lord" is different from other American dramas. Another point is that it does not engage in foundation, does not sell corruption, but only fights corruption!
This is really rare in the current popular American TV series. Don’t look at the gorgeous scenery of Colombia that makes the series colorful, but all of them are straight men; men are tough and handsome, but women have to talk about it, except for a few dangerous characters who dare to sleep (also female characters). The most loving wife makes a group of fierce and tough protagonists, no matter the decent or the villain, arouse people's love. Such a non-corruptive drama, only anti-corruption, makes the drama more wild.
Retro elements are also one of the highlights of the series. From clothing, transportation, methods of picking up girls to eavesdropping and crime-solving methods, they all show the style of the 1970s and 90s. The detective methods are also extremely retro. In the era without DNA identification, eavesdropping. , Identifying the sound source is already the most technologically advanced means. The aerial monitor introduced at the beginning of the series is believed to play a key role in the second season. If you have watched the first
season of the plot,
if you are interested, you can watch National Geographic's documentary "A Hundred Thousand Urgent Drug Lord Pursuing Order". You can review the episodes based on historical data, or you can learn about "Drug Lords" in advance. Season’s story content.
After Pablo succeeded in breaking out of prison, he fleeed for 16 months. During this period, he basically changed from a drug lord to a terrorist. He issued a notice to Medellin, Colombia, offering a clear price to the police and killing the street police for $1,000. Pursuing Pablo and his drug dealers for $30,000, and killing the "Red Viper" Pedro Pascal Javier Panna was worth $300,000. By the end of 1992, a total of 65 policemen had died tragically. The fate of the police in "Drug Lord" may become awkward in the second season.
At the same time, a series of car bombings planned by Pablo may also show in the second quarter that these violent attacks are all provoking the government and threatening the government to negotiate with it. The bright spot that may exist in the second season is that other gangs and those who have been persecuted by Pablo, in turn, want Pablo's men to avenge and use his own way to rule his body.
Of course, the final siege of Pablo may be the climax of the second season of "Drug Lords". I believe the production team will bring a well-made and thrilling battle.
