The Hollywood experience

Feistl was a fan of the show’s first two seasons, which he says were wellmade and believable. He’s not always so enthusiastic about how films and TV portray the drug war.

“I think some of the events in ‘Traffic’ were pretty accurate and some of the events in ‘Miami Vice’ the movie were pretty far-fetched. If people really knew the policies and procedures and approvals and guidelines we have, they’d wonder how we ever got anything done. TV makes it look really easy. Operations take a long time to put together, and on movies and TV everything comes together so quickly and so easily. It’s not believable.”

Feistl had such a good time with his Hollywood experience that he’s open to continuing with “Narcos” if producers are interested, or even consulting on other projects.

“From top to bottom, it was just a pleasure to work with everybody,” he says. “I mean, what an enjoyable experience. It wasn’t even like work. Netflix is just a class act, and everyone is so professional. One of the best experiences I’ve had in my life has been dealing with these people on this project.” about two Americans who travel to Bosnia to work with women scarred by war. The cast features two elder stateswomen of the local acting scene, Kathi Osborne and Jacqueline Gaston.
