Thoughts about Narcos as a spanish speaker:
I can tell which one of them is native or not right away, can you?
God bless Colombia, even though most part of action is placed in Medellín city, when Pablo is hiding in differents houses, damn, I want to go visit.
Wagner Moura accent improves every episode, it's amazing. When he said "plata o plomo" in s1.01 I was kinda laughing because it sounded really weird but his characterization and his improve it's astonishing. I think my fav moment was when Carrillo calls him to threat him saying he knows where his family is and he loses his fucking mind and starts swearing.
Pedro mi amor, I read in an interview that your own family calls you gringo and I can tell why 😭😭
Talking about Pedro, I think that if he practices enough his Spanish, he may sounds as sexy as he sounds in English.
Murphy, man, how long have you been in Colombia? Seven years? How can you not talk Spanish already? I'm finishing s2 and the most I have see him understood is a whole phrase that an informant tells him. Did you see how Tata was trying to learn German? What is stopping you??????
Talking about that informant I loved how he was the only one SO FAR who tells to the fucking DEA, "do you think everybody wants to go to the States??" THANK YOU OH MY GOD. Fellas stay away from USA, just go on vacation and leave.
And last thought that is more about the show. Please, end the plots. Give them a properly end, what happened to the prostitute in s1 who is nearly beaten to death and raped? What happened to the communist girl? Is she really gonna hide and live long happily after being a communist guerrillera?? I know the show is about Pablo and basically all rest is unimportant even though that means we get to know so little about the others characters (basically everyone identity it's builds and evolves around capturing Escobar, Peña's transgressions, Murphy's relationship problems and lightly lose of morality, etc.)
Bueno ya, I was really excited about Narcos and I've wanting to watch it for so long. I think it portraits really well this specific kind of violence or at least explains it well to an audience that is not use to it. If anyone is reading this, hope you know that that not only happened in Colombia but in most of South America, my own father lived the horror of paramilitaries killing entires villages when he was a kid and he stills remember the fear he felt back then.
And to my fellows Colombians, what do you think of the show? I think they did Medellín dirty not showing Medellín's flowers festival and only one time their amazing Christmas lighting decoration. Related to the show's plot, I know things through a Colombian friend, who really hates Escobar and the fame his figure has now because of the show but, it always nice to hear other people opinion!
Voy a dejar de hablar ya en inglés pero bueno si véis alguna falta de ortografía me perdonais pero estaba escribiendo esto durante una clase online así que estaba mitad escribiendo, mitad prestando atención. Bueno, chao.
