Hans Naslund I am surprised by the praise this series has rendered here. Me and my wife is puzzled how this story has survived not only it's first season, but three. In comparison with Narcos, this one give us an impression of a misunderstood family father who just was nailed as some scapegoat. Mexican narcotic cartelles are, as we learned over the years, the most violent, murdering bunch of ultra criminals in modern history. El Chapo depicts absolutely nothing of this. Nada! When a murder for once is depicted - a policeman in il chapos custody - you see him being taken out of sight and after a while you hear a gun sot. Thats about all that Guzman godfather let us know about who he really was and why USA got him extradicted. Shame on Mexican producers who cannot handle and tell your own history. I hope there will be an American remake! The history is there. Someone capable should tell it.

edmundday A lot of similarity with Narcos but without the tiresome FBI agents, this series is fantastic. Really gripping, can't wait for series three.

raeezabdulkhaderrak This is a Excellent TV Show, Please Stop With The Low Ratings Finally We Have A Series Of Different Types Of Organized Cartel's Of Mexico Like Guadalajara Cartel Juárez Cartel Tijuana Cartel Sinaloa Cartel Gulf Cartel Etc Which We Read On Wikipedia/Paper Or Internet / TV News.They Have Tried There Best To Make It As Real As Possible , El Chapo Lead Has Done A Very Good Job . Actors Are Decent Enough I'm Not Saying This is The Best Television Like Breaking Bad , The Wire or The Sopranos ,, Compared To Narcos Which Concentrates More On Cocaine , But This Series Fills Lot Of Information Of How Things Work in There Cartel World. I Hope They Cover More Story Lines ,Make it As Good As Possible in Season 3

dennisgcarrier What has struck me the most about this well-acted series is the sense of impending doom under which "El Chapo" lived. He worked hard and ruthlessly as a prolific murderer to become a "Patron" only to find his position always at the edge of a precipice. He is constantly betrayed, undermined, falsely accused (of the Cardinal's murder)and pursued by assassins. His life would make one wonder why anybody would be stupid enough to want his job. There would be a ton of cash but no peace ever in site for such a man or his family. I know of his impoverished upbringing. And that growing and trafficking drugs was the only way to make money in his isolated community. Multiple generations of his family were in the trade as Marijuana and Opium growers. His cousins were in it. He was born into it. But you would think that there would enough examples of how this would not end well for an intelligent man to make the decision to get out. Apparently in El Chapo's position it doesn't matter how smart one is. And you wonder if the lucky ones are not the ones who get killed early in their careers. Instead of living life constantly on the run from everyone and under daily mental suffering. This is a tale of some one willingly allowing himself to be sucked into an abyss. He had to know that if they didn't take his life, they would still take everything else. And they did. What you might question is the mentality of some one who continues going down that road despite knowing what lies at the end. And I also must question the mentality of a popular sub-culture in Mexico that worships and admires these "Narcos." They write songs about them. Do they not have eyes to see what happens to these people? El Chapo's life was not a pleasant one.
