I’m almost at the end of s2 (first time watching! long time loving Pedrito) and I’m having a controversial opinion about Pablo. like. he’s evil, we know. he is violent and bad (and a total mood). but he’s on the farm with his father and I just...almost wish things would work out for him. am I nuts???
this is completely normal, i was rooting for him the entire time!!! like especially if you take things like US imperialism into account. i was rooting for pablo right until the very end.
that being said, show pablo is much nicer than real life pablo lmao. take that bombing on that busy street where that child dies, for example (deutschland 93). on the show they justify it with pablo wanting to see his family safe and not getting what he wants and in real life he did it without any particular reason. i actually had some fights with my mum about this because she remembers the real pablo. but i love narcos for portraying pablo like that because they could’ve picked a very different approach but they didn’t.
