What BollyAI Thinks

Season 2 arrived in February 2020 with Scoot McNairy taking over as narrator Walt Breslin and Felix Gallardo's empire fracturing under internal pressure. The RT score dipped to 81% across 16 critics, but critics like Paste Magazine and NOW Toronto found the season's political density rewarding rather than exhausting. The Godfather Part II comparisons emerged: Felix as a figure whose ascent contained the seeds of his own destruction. The production expanded its geography further, moving between Mexico City political corridors and cartel ranch operations. The season's treatment of the Amado Carrillo Fuentes storyline drew particular praise for its patience.

  • At its best, Narcos: Mexico recalls The Godfather Part II, with Gallardo recalling Michael Corleone.

  • As exquisitely written, cast and shot, making great use of Mexico's stunning landscapes and colourful 80s fashions.

Season Over Season

Season 2 trades the origin-story clarity of Season 1 for a more complex ensemble portrait of a cartel beginning to eat itself.
