Is Narcos Mexico a totally different show with a different first season than Narcos or is it season two of the original Narcos and just takes place in a different setting kinda like The Wire?
That's what I though. So is the original Narcos over? I really liked season 1 not sure why i never watched the rest. Maybe I'll have to do that. Also how does Mexico stack up to the original?There were 3 seasons of Narcos. Narcos: Mexico was originally going to be Season 4. It's the same show but since the focus switched from the Columbian cartel to the Mexican, they added the subtitle.

Season 1 and 2 followed Pablo Escobar misadventures and the two agents who pursued him until his death.That's what I though. So is the original Narcos over? I really liked season 1 not sure why i never watched the rest. Maybe I'll have to do that. Also how does Mexico stack up to the original?
I liked the Escobar season more because Escobar was more of a hot head and anarchist. He also had a two charismatic agents chasing him which added to the drama.The first 2 seasons of Narcos was all about Pablo Escobar. If you only watched Season 1 you should definitely watch the rest. Season 3 was about the aftermath of Escobar's death.
Season 4, since they switched from Columbia to Mexico, they added the subtitle. On a technical level the show is just as well done IMO but whether or not you like it as much depends on if you think the story is as interesting as the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar in Season 1 and 2, which is what made the series so popular.

Diego Luna plays a more reserved, corporate type. He didn't really have a "good guy" foil to chase him. And really until the last couple of episodes, he really only faced took on drug guys who were worse than him. So it was "difficult" to root against him.
One reason I didnt like Narco's Mexico also, plus they toned down on the violence. I hope Mexico expands to the other cartels or goes into the story of EL Chapo.I liked the Escobar season more because Escobar was more of a hot head and anarchist.

The Cali Cartel had their moments and Matias Varela was great as the enforcer who doesn't use guns.

Season 2 is about the DEA's pursuit of the men who killed and tortured Kiki Camarena.One reason I didnt like Narco's Mexico also, plus they toned down on the violence. I hope Mexico expands to the other cartels or goes into the story of EL Chapo.
I didnt like Narcos Mexico also because of the lack of banging hahaha I was waiting for the whole season to see that Mexican girl undress haha , I liked the way they made Pablo large than life in the first 2 Narcos and also all the arching characters in seasons 1-3 like Pacho.Season 2 is about the DEA's pursuit of the men who killed and tortured Kiki Camarena.
Maybe Season 3 will follow El Chapo and hopefully someone puts a bullet in his brain before then.
It’s better in some ways. I find myself admiring or closer to the main character Felix than I do characters in Narcos. It’s roughly same overall imo, quality as a whole.That's what I though.

His last scene of the season was great. He showed a ton of charisma and insight into his thinking. I wish that was fleshed out more in the rest of the series.It’s better in some ways.

I finished the season (cause I have that kind of time).I didnt like Narcos Mexico also because of the lack of banging hahaha I was waiting for the whole season to see that Mexican girl undress haha , I liked the way they made Pablo large than life in the first 2 Narcos and also all the arching characters in seasons 1-3 like Pacho.
I’m one episode in to the current season. Great so far. I could have sworn that white bald/long hair Colombian dude was killed last season. Guess not.
