Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I love this show!! It is extremely intense which makes it amazing! I loved how it focuses more on El chapo rather than the cop in narcos! I can't wait for the new season. HIGHLY recommend

Although production is not as expensive as Narcos, the strongest point here is the connection with victims. While in Narcos Colombians are just props, in El Chapo you can have a broader view of how cartels and corruption affect Mexican lives (S2E08 is a punch in the stomach). Here there's no glamourizing like Narcos. No fancy farms or lame parties. Here cartels are depicted as true criminals with no regard to anyone but them. And to make it worse, you see a state engulfed in corruption, from mayors to the president, police to the army.
In my opinion Narcos 3rd season is somehow tiresome, focused on a security manager of one of the cartels, gives me impression they are extending the story that should be coming to an end. Here you wanna know more about his scape from prison and how they finally caught him after that interview with Sean Penn.

I saw this new series title on Netflix but was never interested in clicking on it even though I was a fan of Narcos. Then one boring day I started watching El Chapo. Wow what a great and amazing series! The 1st season was slow but what made me fall in love was the 2nd season. It blew even Narcos out of the water with violence and warfare, something some reviewers have compliant about here, the lack of violence. The 2nd season of El Chapo has more violence than any season from Narcos. I did not know what El Chapo had actually met Pablo Escobar in real life, now that took me for surprise. Watch this series its amazing!

I was not a big fan of Narcos. At the beginning, I thought that this show was going to be another "telenovela" style, but I was wrong. Everything about this show is excellent, the writing, the production, the photography, performance and music.
Univision, Story House and Netflix have done an excellent job. You can understand why Mexico got so violent during the 2000's. I can't get enough of El Chapo.
