Over the Labor Day weekend, I took full advantage of my Netflix account and binged on a new show. Narcos is a fictionalized account of the Medellin Cartel. This one’s definitely worth a watch.
A lot of the dialog is in Spanish with subtitles. As a die-hard fan of Asian crime films, this isn’t problematic for me. If it’s not a deal-breaker for you, I highly recommend checking out this show.
I don’t mind subtitles when they are done well and I prefer that to dubbing in foreign films. I remember seeing a Hong Kong movie where most of the subtitles ended with a question mark; so you had lines like “This is the police? You are under arrest? Put up your hands?”

Yeah, bad subtitles are as distracting as bad dubbing. Thankfully, the profitability of the international movie market has motivated the studios to do a better job with it.

I’ve seen the ads for that. I started watching a Mexican show on the cartels until i realized it has 100+ episodes.
I also just started season one of TRUE CRIME on DVD. I’m really liking that one.

Not familiar with a show called True Crime. Unless you mean HBO’s True Detective, that one I’ve seen. Season 1 is great, the second season is okay, but not as good as the first.
