Narcos: Mexico (TV Series) Los Juniors (2021) User Reviews

Finally...

[jenniferwarnock · 7/10 · 11 November 2021]

Finally...narcos lives up to narcos. This is by far one of the best episodes. When I heard season 3 was in production, I hoped it would focus on Chapo. The story is intriguing and dramatic, and the actor fantastic. This is definitely the weakest installment in the Narcosverse, but this episode kicks it up a beat.

Best Episode of the Season

[thefreshflix · 9/10 · 5 December 2021]

Wagner Moura (Pablo Escobar) directs this episode. Most of the episode is a standard "Narcos" watch, but the end of the episode plays like an intense scene from "True Detective".

Back to narcos

[dannylee-78082 · 8/10 · 30 November 2021]

This was the narcos we were all waiting for. Honestly, the best part about the show for me is "negocio" and just normal scenes because I feel like someone would always pull out a gun and start shooting so I'm always on edge.

What a chilling line at the end. Loved this episode!

DAMN

[kirbie2182 · 10/10 · 14 November 2021]

Now that's how we do it. Amazing end to the episode. That was seriously the Intense, edge-of-your-seat, Narcos action that we all came here for. God damn.

Good episode

[silverton-37959 · 7/10 · 29 November 2022]

When Victor Tapia expresses his disgust for Breslin, at that night time meeting with Breslin on the street, he speaks for me. That character is such an amoral scumbag, that I've started skipping past his scenes. Maybe he is supposed to be a hero, but the perfect actor was cast for him: Scoot McNairy, who looks like a skid-row alky who has been showered and partly shaved to appear on camera.

Breslin takes the place of Camarena as an arrogant jerk with a badge who uses the drug laws as an excuse to kill people and break things in a country not his own. I can't help but think that the creators of Narcos: Mexico hold as dim a view of the DEA and the US War on (some) Drugs as I do.

Lacklustre, Lightweight and Lost

[carlshinoda · 2/10 · 8 November 2021]

What happened to the gravitas of Narcos Series? I'm into the third episode of this 3rd season and the writing so far is just lightweight and fragmented. After the explosive infiltration of DEA Kiki of season one and power manipulation of Felix in season two, all we got so far is a temperamental DEA I don't care for. A corrupted nobody cop. Some rich narco kids abusing their dads ill-gotten gains with one changing clothes and dancing montage. A junior female journalist narrating the story which weakens the signature mode of the Narcos series. C'mon guys. We only have ten episodes. Stop wasting time focusing on insignificant characters and bring on the terror reign of the drug lords already. It's Narcos. Not telenovelas.

Episode 303

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 5 February 2023]

This season still does not have the same magic as past years because they don't have a clear hero to route for and it seems like far too many villains to follow. I think that this is by design, but at the same time it leads to a little bit of a disjointed effort.

Narcos: Mexico remains quality TV and its last season is going to leave a huge hole in the Netflix lineup when this concludes, but the appeal it had, the buzz it had with the first season of the original show is long gone.

They do these shootouts as well as anyone though and it is hard to not get excited about gunfire at a night club.
