![]() There is no way a prison in Colombia could keep this criminal behind bars and isolate him from the Colombian society. ![]() Without the threat of extradition this man could've bought, threatened, forced and manipulated his way into becoming the nations leader. Colombia was much more hurt by the terrorist, kidnapper and killer Escobar, than the drug trafficker. They came to hunt down a drug-dealer when in reality the trafficking of drugs was the least of his crimes. In the end the DEA helped Colombia much more than they helped USA. And that no one could guarantee their safety. Knowing that anybody who did the right thing, testified against the cartel or disagreed with their actions could easily be eliminated. But the truth is that this was Colombias ordeal much more than it was USA's. While the show Narcos focuses on the DEA's participation in the manhunt, this show focuses mainly on the efforts of the Colombian Police and Military. These are real people we're talking about, how do you make it entertaining and pay respect to the victims at the same time? There are several moments where you feel that the show idolizes Escobar, (a rare feeling since family members of his victims were involved in the production) but as his killings and terrorism escalates you feel that it somehow recovers in the end, and makes a more ethical portrayal of the events and the awful damage this monster made on Colombia. ![]() It is not perfect, but I have no idea how a perfect show would deal with this material in a coherent and responsible way. In spite of its flaws this is easily the biggest and best production ever from Colombia. I hadn't planned to see the whole thing as fast as I did but the fact that I did can only add to the praise I have for it. I assume that it's the same amount of film, but without the commercial breaks they could make the episodes longer on Netflix. Caracol television aired as many as 113 episodes, although Netflix cut it down to 74. 2017, Pablo Escobar’s brother, Roberto de Jesus Escobar Gaviria sued Netflix for $1 billion over a copyright claim against its hit series Narcos.I marathon-watched this vastly ambitious project, watching 3-4 episodes a day. The exact specifics of the lawsuit are not made clear in the report, but if it is anything like Netflix's first issues regarding its programming about the drug kingpin then it might be hurting some pockets. The show switches the name to Regina Parejo. She also claims the show's name change of Escobar's love interest is obviously meant to insinuate her name. One of the scenes that Vallejo references specifically as being ripped out of her book is one in which she receives a ridiculous amount of flowers from Escobar. Her lawsuit alleges that the company still lifted scenes and narratives from the book anyway. According to documents obtained by TMZ, Vallejo was in negotiations with the company originally, but they never came to an agreement to allow the company to use her work. Vallejo claims that the Caracol American Productions series Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal (Pablo Escobar: The Drug Lord) blatantly stole stories from her memoir without proper permission from her. Pablo Escobar's girlfriend Virginia Vallejo is suing a production company for its work on a Netflix show that allegedly stole stories from her 2007 memoir Amando a Pablo, Odiando a Escobar (Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar).
