#毒枭# S1-S2 9.0/10
A very three-dimensional TV series adapted from real events.
The plot continues to advance from the disputes between Pablo’s Medellin group and other drug cartels and the government (police). From these three perspectives, it tells Colombia under the dark clouds of drug lords in the 1980s, which makes people very three-dimensional. From the standpoints of all parties, I feel the situation and struggle at that time. The intermediate nodes are interspersed with real historical images, reminding the audience that this is not just a TV series.
It turns out that drug lords can be strong enough to do whatever they want in a weak country. The rules for doing things are very simple. Those who follow are bought with huge sums of money, those who rebels kill and take their families hostage, and when the government presses them, they blow up planes and bomb the streets to threaten negotiations with terrorist attacks. In a country where drug lords can also run for president, the government is sometimes even weaker than drug lords. It is not difficult to understand why I saw the Mexican police surrender to the drug lords in an operation some time ago, because sometimes they really couldn't beat them.
In the end, a generation of drug lord Pablo was still suspicious, hateful, and cruel. He attracted the joint strangulation of his colleagues and the government, and slowly destroyed his drug cartel. It makes people realize that winning people’s hearts is always the foundation for long-term business, especially the unity within the executives. The decline and fall of large groups and empires often start from internal divisions. In addition, talents are the company's greatest asset and the most fundamental productivity. The rate of decline of the Medellin Group is proportional to the rate of loss of its right-hand man. Cultivating reserve talents is really the top important thing for the company.
What's commendable in this play is that it also shows Pablo's family side, the brilliance of human nature. As a mother’s son, wife’s husband, a son and a daughter’s father, he burned two million US dollars of banknotes to keep warm when his daughter was ill during the flight, and always insisted on sending his family to a foreign country during the final counterattack. Only then was he willing to act. When his family was under house arrest by the government, he bowed his head and appealed to the chief prosecutor for human rights. Before being arrested, he did not hesitate to talk to his family every day. Family members have always been everyone's weakness and the foundation of life, and the big drug lords are no exception.
