Rick Harding nah dude those Sinaloa fucks are no joke. I would rather live in China for a year than Sinaloa Mexico for a month. China has a terrible reputation for accidental deaths like faulty elevators, traffic signs, health regulations, and just stupid people in general. And even then I would prefer that fucking country rather than Sinaloa.
That's exactly what I did lol. I was a huge fan of the first 2 seasons that took place in Colombia, and then came season 3, whole new cast, different setting, Mexico, and boring as Hell. At least the first few episodes were, that's where I tapped out lol
@@CarolinaGirl33 well season 3 was about the cali cartel, which I think turned a lot of ppl off. If that's what you're referring to, I agree it was boring. Narcos Mexico just has 1 season out right now. I thought it was intense all the way through but to each his own!
Pedro Perez he said it because it was a thing in Mexico. Chicks in Mexico were saying he was so handsome lol. Read about it online somewhere. Small article.
“So how do you realize they messed up, cause of body language” Literally 2 seconds after Ed said I personally would have zip tied them right after but they didn’t Sometimes Joe is the biggest airhead in Cali
Narcos is more professional of all the drug lord tv shows it’s more of a main stream look while shows like la reina del sur are novelas u pick and choose which one u prefer they’re all enjoyable
@@whofuckinfarted3181 Many people who wear an escapulario have since gotten very, very rich. (it'snothingtodowiththedrugprohibition) Why not just buy 1 & experiment? Maybe it will work
@The alien in your backyard what Cubans are you referring to? The Cubans coming from Cuba these days that ppl don't even know they're Cuban and are messing up the "good looks" ppl associate Cubans with or the Cubans that came here in the 80s that made Cubans look good? Those 80s Cubans are not black at all lol. They look like Mexican latins like Ryan Garcia and de la Hoya. They don't look like 50 cent lol
OMG yes as a latino from mexico i can asure you, this guys probably know people there since alot of cities are pretty much under their control but they have 0 relatives there, they wouldn't be going to shitty schools lol
I always found it crazy and borderline dangerous that narcos is on Netflix and the Mexican war on drugs is still at its peak. Idk how Diego Luna can comfortably still live in Mexico.
the narcos probably like most part of the narcos show as it portrays them as cunning and manly and cheating the system and all.. it probably promotes their lifestyle and helps them recruit new followers and gang members..
@@DrErnst exactly and in the show he never really disses any active bosses, plus the cartel his character is based off of is no more, the tj cartel his family had was also no more, so I see no real danger everyone else is really seen as almost anti hero’s
I had a friend who is originally from Cali (not in the drug business) and she said that the show was really REALLY accurate. She said that she wasn't allowed to go to certain clubs because her father knew how the local narcos operated. If they saw a pretty girl and wanted her, they got her and her date/boyfriend/husband got bullet. And she said that the paramiltaries were just as bad as the narcos
“Handsome guy” lol Side-note: do y’all think narcos gather around the flat-screen TV and watch Narcos: Mexico? Question that I ponder on that makes me chuckle.
@@beepboopbop8484 Literally the only character besides Adamo that I was genuinely interested in. Only on the beginning of season 2 so NO SPOILERS PLZ lol
They probably do because many Mexican consume a lot of US entertainment. I think they best be lucky they haven't offended anyone yet or the cartel will green-light them. They have connections to La Eme, and La Eme has a nasty reputation in the USA. Those guys ended up murdering alot of the people who did the movie American Me.
It's actually just a "scapula", common throughout the Catholic world, often free at Catholic tourist sites. Joe might actually be familiar with them from Boston Italian communities. It's just they get extra significance in Latin America, sometimes associated with traditions that seem more pagan than Catholic. My French Canadian grandmother would wear one (or kept it in her purse), and in no way was she associated with organized crime!
Cuvtixo D in Spanish it’s called an escapulario that’s probably why he said that, but now instead of it being a holy catholic thing it’s become a way for cartel members to be part of some sort of cult through the Santa muerte which is usually depicted through a grim reaper type figure in the form of the virgen de Guadalupe.
@@squirlmy the "santa muerte" or "holy dead" is not catholic at all. If you are gonna comment on the Catholic faith, investigate first and then say your opinion. I repeat "santa muerte" is not Catholic at all. We, Catholics believe in a God of life not of death.
Santa Muerte is a religion with ties with Catholicism. It’s classified as the fastest growing religion in the Americas. From 2001 when the first shrine started popping back up in Mexico, it morphed into having 12 million followers. It’s roots lie with the Mexican Catholic Church. So in a way both are catholic symbols
@@stevehays6403 Except the Catholic Church calls it a satanist cult, and condemns it. Pope Francis repudiated the cult on his first day in Mexico in 2016, calling it a symbol of narco-culture. Its roots lie in the pre-colonial Mexican goddess of death, and is primarily worshipped or venerated by the criminal culture, like thieves, cartel members and prostitutes. Just because they based their services off of Catholic liturgy does not mean it is a part of the Catholic Church. Santa Muerte is not a part of the Catholic Church.
Season 3 had one of the greatest shoot-outs ever filmed, when El Chapo tried to assassinate the Felix brothers in the night club, directed beautifully by the guy who played Pablo Escobar in the first series, NARCOS.
I’m from Sinaloa born and raised. Chapo’s cartel controls the entire state; all branches of government at state level. El Chapó was working on gaining hearts and minds by means of publicity, making him look like the good Cartel that fights bad cartels in Mexico. That was the idea with meeting Shawn. Edit: typo
ҳҲ̸Ҳ̸ҳ lots of people in Mexico romanticizes narcos in general, it’s called Narco Culture. Shows like Narcos are very popular in Mexico and there are a ton of them.
Theres a full documentary on that girl. I forget her name but it's on Netflix. She tells her side if the story all the way up to him being kidnapped and her n Sean Penn smashing.
8:22 Joe : why would El Chapo agree to do something like that!? Ed (so casually) : he was a fan of the show! Joe : pffffffft haghahahahahahahaha EPIC xD
As a former Marijuana cultivator, I caught one big thing wrong in the cultivation episodes. In the time referenced by the show Sinsemilla (seedless pot) wasn’t a strain. Growing it requires a painstaking process which I mastered long ago. The process depends on the grower’s ability to detect all the male plants then eradicate them. A plant’s predominate sex will show before the budding process begins. You must look in certain places at the top of the plant for the first sign. The best thing to remember is that the sex organ of the female plant is a single tiny seed pod. The bud on a maturing female plant consists of clusters of those pods. So, you are looking for one tiny single pod that’s just forming at the top of the plant. It’s very hard to detect unless you have learned what to look for and where it look for it. You must remember that a newly forming seed pod does not have pulp inside it yet so it will not be as thick as one that has formed in a cluster. Just one male plant in a field would pollinate hundreds of plants that close together. Even after successfully eliminating the male plants any number of the predominate females could morphydite or change from female to male because they always carry both genes. Therefore, after eliminating the males a grower must still monitor the plants for those changes. The process of individually checking every plant in a field of thousands then watching them for morfs would be impractical.
His son giving out cars to people on Christmas is not out of the goodness of his heart. When they do stuff like and give things away to the people, regardless of whether it's Christmas or not, to them it's the cost of doing business. It's easier to get away with things when the people not only don't care what you're doing, but they actually are sharing in the benefits of it themselves, your entire business will go that much smoother.
Ive seen all of them.... and let me tell you. Chapo's series is amazing, there is no other better scene than when Chapo did the meeting with Nazario, Los Zetas, Los del Golfo, Los Beltran Leyva, Los de Sinaloa. If your from the streets ... and you see that. You know how fucking real and intense those minutes would be.
My only gripe with Narcos is in season 3. I loved the whole season but they put way too much emphasis on Jorge Salcedo and not enough on Pacho and Chepe. Pacho and Chepe were two of the biggest gangsters in the whole series and it just seemed like every 10 minutes we were getting a scene with Jorge and his bitch wife lol. It would be dope if they did a spinoff about Chepe. I thought that guy killed that role and his actual life is crazy af too
@@Barca57fan oh for sure! it had a lot of epic stuff but the story was not that accurate to real life, unlike other narco shows like El Cartel de los Sapos or El Patron Del Mal.
in the early 2000’s a group of “ businessman “ would come in to the streak house where I worked. a lot of times they brought there wives and kids, but sometimes they had “meetings” just by themselves. upon entering, one would go up to the line ( open kitchen concept ) and hand all the cooks and bussers $100 bills. they spent thousands of dollars on dinner, no matter how many or how few...and we would keep the place open 3+ hours after we closed to the public for this family. they always paid in cash and they always came with a guard who carried the cash. they had a server they always used. he would come in on a day off just to wait on them and he was paid thousands of dollars in cash for his service every time. thousands. then one of the families of vanished. we heard they fled the country. then all of them fled. they were in business with el chapo and ran chicago. we all knew his name, but didn’t know how powerful he was.
Gio Rivera wasn’t he involved in Mexico? He was like a police officer or military? He’s probably seen his fair show of killings and done killings maybe that’s why he has the santa muerte if not then I’m curious why he’s rocking it
Ski Mask Santa muerte is basically a belief used by many and a lot of those people that practice it is those with ties in the narco world basically using it to kill successfully so that’s probably why he uses it and not just that they believe that it will protect them too from being killed at a cost of rituals
The Solar NERD how? Not shutting in the name but it’s literally just the state they’re from and the kind of organization they are “Sinaloa cartel” it’s very literal and not very much a name tbh
Just went on a tour of pablo escobars hometown in colombia literally the same time when this was uploaded. The tour guide who had lived there her whole life said that narcos season 1 is 60% accurate and the rest is less than 50% accurate
El Chapo was much better in my opinion. I am Brazilian and I couldn’t stand that actor’s fake accent in Narcos. Why not hiring a Colombian for that role?
