Reactions from the web
The Spanish version is so much better. Narcos does not get in depth of Pablo Escobar’s story.

Narcos is a cinematic experience that takes the fictional leap to bring a sense of relatability to such a mythical story. Whereas this is more of a detailed docu-drama account of Escobar's life. No doubt, this series is far more accurate and more detailed, but Narcos is cinematically much superior. Both should be viewed for completely different intent and shouldn't be compared
