Not better than Breaking Bad (few are) but very good nonetheless. Had me pegged to the TV for several days now.
The portrayal of Pablo Escobar is not overly convincing for me. Maybe it's just the actor but the extremely evil deeds Escobar ordered don't seem to match the character portrayed, too soft IMO. Maybe they should've put Joe Pesci in there in full "Goodfellas" or "Casino" mode.
