About ‘Narcos: Mexico’ season 1

The series explores the origins of the modern drug war returning to its roots, beginning when the Mexican world of trafficking was a disorganized and lost confederation of independent growers and traffickers. Attests to the emergence of the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s when Felix Gallardo (Diego Luna) takes command, unifying the traffickers to build an empire.

While Kiki gathers intelligence from Felix and becomes more entangled in his mission, a tragic chain of events unfolds affecting the drug trade and the war against him in the years to come.
