Setting up Narcos: Mexico for its third and final season meant spinning the story forward beyond Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo’s (Diego Luna) capture/arrest, and establishing the splinter cartels that emerged soon after he was gone.
The story — which is based on real people and events — also had to recapture the interests of existing fans, who may have forgotten some details (Season 2 wrapped in February 2020, after all), while attracting new viewers. Whether or not the drama is able to pull off this daunting feat will be revealed now that Narcos: Mexico Season 3 is streaming on Netflix.

Slowly but surely, Rambo 5 is finally – finally – beginning to fall into place.
Omega Underground has today uncovered a series of audition tapes to prove that, yes, casting is now officially underway for Sylvester Stallone’s action sequel (codenamed Rambo: Last Blood), in which his beefed-up John Rambo will be coming up against the Mexican cartel.
He won’t be doing so alone, mind you, as the newly-uncovered synopsis indicates that Rambo will be currying favor from an unnamed member of the press as he seeks to dismantle the dangerous trafficking ring responsible for kidnapping his friend’s daughter. Imagine Taken… on steroids.
Rambo teams up with a journalist to track down and rescue a group of local girls that have been kidnapped by a Mexican sex trafficking ring, after trying to settle down to a quiet peaceful life stateside at the family ranch in Arizona after spending decades abroad.
