Going Back to Cali (S03E10)

The season finale didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I was expecting a wholesome conclusion, but instead got a low-fat version. It wasn’t bad, just not particularly impressive. Pacho once again dominated the pre-credits sequence, but the rest of the episode couldn’t keep up with the strong start. (15.07.2018)

The traditional malaise of great series, where the penultimate one or two episodes tend to be better than the last one, which often not only works with a minimum of characters, because most of them don't live to see the end, but still has to deliver some closure for the whole series. The last Narcos season plays with both ills quite successfully, and the ending manages to stand up well to the political backdrop that was so present then and still is today. (05.11.2019)
