the first two seasons are about Pablo Escobar and his cartel. It is sort of told in a documentary style with a narrator We have really liked it.
Season 3 is supposed to take on the Cali cartel, which took control after Escobar's cartel fell apart.

Escobar was the 7th richest man in the world for several years.

3. I just binged through Season 2, which I thought was better than Season 1

Really hope they get to continue into a third.

And if you feel like investing the time to watch 70+ episodes on Escobar et al., I highly recommend the Colombian series Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal. It moves a bit slowly at times, and the treatment of some of the good-guy characters occasionally borders on the hagiographic, but I found it absolutely fascinating...
