Haven't finished it yet, but I'm loving it.
Elite Squad I and II are two of my favorite movies, and the director Jose Padhilla does this series. Plus, the main actor (Wagner Moura) is in this show as well.
I've seen the first episode. I enjoyed it. As another guy said, i think the narration is a little bit overkill.
I'm surprised they didn't take the opportunity to inject George Jung in the story to appeal to Blow fans.
I'm not entirely sure he won't make a small appearance, especially since he worked with the Medellin cartel and one of the founders of that cartel.
They could have introduced him when they introduced Lehder. Unless they follow up on Lehder I think the Jung plane has flown.
He didn't meet Lehder until Lehder was in prison, and Jung was in prison for smuggling weed. Jung didn't start smuggling cocaine until after his first time in prison.
That was in the 70's. The show is already into the 90's. If they want to introduce Jung at this point it's going to be him testifying against Lehder.
The first two episodes definitely are not in the 90s.
