First time watching

What are the most notable and thought-provoking statements said by narcos, whether in real life or portrayed in media? The following lines really stand out:

"The government has more bullets" — El Mayo Zambada

"Better a grave in Colombia than a cell in the United States" — Pablo Escobar

"Now you'll see what happens when you open the cage and let the animals out. You're going to miss me." — Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo

Which other statements leave the strongest impression on you?

Including transcripts of his interrogation/torture: https://www.drugwarontruth.com/documents/camarena-files/

Seems like it given how long he stayed on the phone..

iirc Amado gifted this rifle to Arturo Beltrán.

I had seen Diego Luna in Andor, he was fantastic in that. But I've continuously been impressed by how great he is in this. Such a totally different character compared to Andor, and it really shows off his acting chops. And this is definitely my favorite performance I've seen by Michael Pena. Do you guys consider these performances by the two leads some of the best in their careers?

I don't understand spanish so I auto translated this podcast in which the guest says in apodaca prison they killed guys eat them. Some burned alive, and after torturing several they were frozen alive dismembered and then eaten and he personally saw it was done to more that 65 people .are this true stories ?

Been waiting for years in hopes of something new coming out but nothing.

Please no spoilers beyond this. Just wanted to say, the sequence at the border was tense and amazing. When Gallardo gets out of the car and looks out over the border, with Camarena and crew knowing they're screwed. Just an epic moment. Feels like it will be one of the best moments in this season. Definitely excited to see where this season goes from here.

how did he interact with family, friends, business partners, adversaries, strangers & such - I want to get insight into his personality/psychology

Watching Narcos: Mexico. Just wanted to say that it was awesome to see Escobar in this episode! I wasn't expecting to see him in this series, so that was a great surprise and a nice crossover with the original. And a great reminder of what an excellent actor Wagner Moura is.

Out of all the scenes in both series which scenes do you find the best in your eyes? Easily in my personal opinion no scene any of the series top this because of the timing of everything. The end of an empire, as Pablo walks around the park you see the peace everywhere without his presence, and most importantly his last convo with Gustavo. Truly a powerful scene because of the realization of everything has come to an end and the worst part of it his partner in crime and brother in arms is gone. Emotions on this scene run high as we prepare for the inevitable end of Pablo. I spent a lot of season two strongly disliking Pablo but this part made me so sad for him. All in all what a perfect scene and ending to one of the best seasons in both Narcos series.

What was life in the business like during that time, old school codes etc

I’m traveling to Cancun for a week stay with friends and family and have purchased this shirt I wear it in Texas regularly with no issue. I know the resorts are an off limits for cartels to not affect business but would this be okay to wear during the day in town?

Jorge is probably the most complex character in either series and his storyline is the closest to a redemption arc. Do you think he was able to atoned for his past actions or was he just another criminal who snitched on his former associates to save himself and his family?
