#NOVELAS DE NARCOS SERIES#

VelezвЂ™s career benefits tremendously from her affair with Escobar. She has detailed her life in her book, вЂњLoving Pablo, Hating Escobar.вЂќ Velez is loosely based off of Virgina Vallejo, a journalist now living in America who once upon time was EscobarвЂ™s lover. In the show, Escobar beds a journalist named Valeria Velez (Stephanie Sigman). PeГ±a is a character who believes that no one around him can be trusted, just as he is also a character that believes every day could very well be his last.Д®scobarвЂ™s life was not only violent, but he had his own share of sordid love affairs. In the show, EscobarвЂ™s success in this area has made PeГ±a edgy, and paranoid, and Pascal manages to demonstrate this while also showcasing a fervid love of the various pleasures of life. In real life, Escobar proved the old adage that every man has his price, buying politicians, judges, military commanders, CIA agents and whatever local police stood in his way. Where Murphy is an idealist, PeГ±a has been in Colombia for far too long, and has gathered serious doubts about whether anyone can be trusted. PeГ±a, MurphyвЂ™s partner in Colombia, serves as his foil. MurphyвЂ™s story explores one of the other major themes of вЂњNarcosвЂќ -that when one hunts monsters, one must be careful not to become one. He is a man possessed when it comes to Escobar, but has to balance his obsession over the drug lord with his duties as a father and husband. HolbrookвЂ™s portrayal of Murphy is almost as compelling as MouraвЂ™s of Escobar. Yet, as the show continues, his steadfast idealism is withered, until he becomes a hardened veteran willing to do whatever is necessary to stop Escobar. Murphy, the вЂњgringoвЂќ DEA agent hunting Escobar, begins the show as an idealist in love with his job of taking drugs off the streets of Miami. Every word Escobar utters during the course of the show is laced with threat, and MouraвЂ™s portrayal of Escobar makes it obvious the only thing more dangerous than his scowl is his smile. Escobar was deadly when crossed, and Moura makes that perfectly clear in his performance. He manages to portray him in a calm, stoic manner, while still radiating danger. Moura delivers an outstanding performance as Escobar. With this unimaginable fortune, Escobar waged what was essentially a civil war in Colombia, holding the country hostage with his particular style of negotiating, which always boiled down to, вЂњPlata o PlomoвЂќ (silver or lead).Д®scobar was protected by the people of Medellin, largely because he paid for the construction of schools, hospitals, soccer fields and literally handed money out to the poor in the streets. Escobar himself was said to command a personal fortune of over $25 billion. Murphy, as the show tells, began his career chasing hippies in Miami for selling marijuana, and very quickly evolved into a daily fight for his life against EscobarвЂ™s minions.Д®scobarвЂ™s cocaine empire was said to have earned $60 million per day during its peak, what would be an estimated $130 million if adjusted for inflation today. The showвЂ™s creators collaborated with the original DEA agents who hunted Escobar throughout the 1980s - Javier PeГ±a (Pedro Pascal) and Steven Murphy (Boyd Holbrook). During that time he was tied to thousands of murders, a ruthless bombing campaign and he was even alleged to have hired a communist guerrilla group to hold ColombiaвЂ™s Supreme Court hostage. Though вЂњNarcosвЂќ is embellished in some areas for dramaвЂ™s sake, the show sticks as close to the reality of the events that transpired from 1976 to 1993, the time which a young Escobar, played by Wagner Moura, trafficked and profited from selling cocaine.Дuring the 1980s, Escobar held Colombia in a grip of terror as he subverted the government in Colombia by buying those he could, and killing those he could not. Coming off the popularity of вЂњBreaking Bad,вЂќ вЂњNarcosвЂќ shows that when talking about the violent world of illicit drugs, truth is far more interesting than fiction. 28, is yet another smashing success from Netflix. The show, which premiered its first season in its entirety on Aug. вЂњNarcosвЂќ follows the dramatic life of Pablo Escobar - one of the most infamous drug lords to ever live, and the efforts of the DEA and ColombiaвЂ™s various police forces to bring the drug lord, and his infamous Medellin Cartel, to justice.
