Narcos: Mexico

Netflix, Friday 16 November

- Jason Arnopp

We’ve had three series of Narcos set in Colombia, but now, the show has been reset, retitled and relocated to – you guessed it – Mexico. This new incarnatio­n is set in the 1980s, back when the world of Mexican drug traffickin­g was a disorganis­ed bunch of independen­t growers and dealers. Diego Luna (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) plays Félix Gallardo, who becomes leader of the rising Guadalajar­a Cartel and unites trafficker­s in order to build an empire. Michael Peña (Ant-man And The Wasp) is DEA agent Kiki Camarena, who moves his family from California to Guadalajar­a to take on the challenge of bringing Gallardo down. As he gathers evidence, he becomes more entangled in his mission and, as you’d expect, a tragic chain of events occurs.
