First airing on Netflix in 2015, Narcos depicts the rise and fall of Colombian kingpin Pablo Escobar. Seasons 1 and 2 function as a biographical study of Escobar, as well as the DEA agents tasked with taking him down. In Season 3, the focus shifts to the DEA's efforts to stop the rise of the Cali Cartel.
