Die Strategie der Anführer (S03E01)

A solid start with the cartel, on a completely different wave reminiscent of a Mexican version of Wolf of Wall Street with all its sophistication, elegance and low profile motto. The end is only slightly stirred up by Pacho with his dance and the following spread. (16.10.2019)

Definitely the weakest start of all three seasons, but I still can't rate it below four stars. Javier Peña's brooding presence was too entertaining. The absence of Pablo Escobar is really noticeable; even though the Cali cartel is run by a quartet of "bad boys," none of them have the charisma to match Escobar. I'm curious to see how Jorge Salcedo's character develops — there's some hidden potential there. 4*- (13.07.2018)
