Narcos is an American crime drama television series created and produced by Chris Brancato, Carlo Bernard, and Doug Miro. Season 1, comprising 10 episodes, originally aired on August 28, 2015, as a Netflixexclusive.[1] Set and filmed in Colombia, season 1 tells the true story of notorious drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, who became a billionaire through the production and distribution of cocaine, while also focusing on Escobar's interactions with drug lords, DEA agents, and various opposition entities.[2][3] The series was renewed for a second season on September 3, 2015; season 2 will air in 2016.[4][5]

The first season of Narcos chronicles the life of Pablo Escobar from the late 1970s, when he first began manufacturing cocaine, to July 1992, when he escaped La Catedral prison. The show chronicles the main events that happened in Colombia during this period and Escobar’s relationship to them. It is told through the perspective of Steve Murphy, a DEA agent working in Colombia.

The initial episodes show how Escobar first became involved in the cocaine trade in Colombia. He was an established black marketeer in Medellín, moving trucks worth of illegal goods (alcohol, cigarettes, and household appliances) into Colombia during a time when this was strictly forbidden, when introduced to Mateo Moreno, a Chilean exile and underground chemist, who pitched the idea that they go into business together, with Moreno producing and Escobar distributing a new, profitable drug—cocaine. They expand beyond Moreno's small cocaine processing lab by building additional, larger labs in the rainforest and, using the expertise of Carlos Lehder, transport their product in bulk to Miami, where it gains notoriety amongst the rich and famous. Soon enough Pablo develops larger labs and more extensive distribution routes into the US to supply growing demand.

With cocaine's growth into a drug of importance in the American market, one that accounts for a large flow of US dollars to Colombia and escalating drug-related violence in the US, the Americans send a task force from the DEA to Colombia to address the issue. American DEA agent Steve Murphy (who, along with Pablo Escobar, is a focal character in the show) is partnered with Javier Peña. The role of Murphy's task force is to work with the Colombian authorities to put an end to the flow of cocaine into the United States.

At the time of Murphy’s arrival in Colombia, Escobar and his associates are dealing with more significant problems than the DEA. They are at war with the M-19, a revolutionary group of guerilla communists. When the M-19 kidnaps a member of the Ochoa family, Escobar seizes the opportunity to form strategic alliances with other black-marketeer criminals to establish a group called "Death to Kidnappers", the genesis of the Medellín cartel. His promise to his allies is simple: to recover Marta Ocho unharmed and to prevent further kidnappings.

In the meantime, Escobar has political aspirations. He is elected as a Colombian congressman but is made a fool of when proven to be a criminal with ties to the blooming drug industry in Colombia. Escobar plots his revenge.

An extradition plan is passed in the Colombian congress allowing for narcos to be extradited to the United States when caught. This is a landmark win for Murphy, Peña, and the DEA, but a devastating blow to the Medellin cartel. After making successive threats to the Colombian government to repeal the extradition plan, Escobar takes action against Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, the Colombian minister of justice and prominent lawyer in the fight to prosecute Medellin cartel members, by gunning him down in his car.

Murphy and Peña are finally making progress when they catch Escobar’s accountant, “Blackbeard”, alongside a gigantic cache of incriminating evidence. The evidence is stored in the only place large enough and thought to have security strong enough to thwart any break-in attempts: the Palace of Justice. However, Escobar hires M-19 mercenaries, his former enemies, to attack said location and burn all of the evidence. The DEA is left with nothing after Escobar’s slippery move.

In the sixth episode, César Gaviria—the pro-extradition presidential candidate—is targeted by Escobar’s assassins. Their plan is to blow him up whilst on Avianca Flight 203. He is luckily saved when the DEA warns the president’s team of the assassination plans. The explosion happens nonetheless, and the plane is brought down, killing all 107 people on board. The Colombian people are infuriated with the unmanageable levels of violence throughout all of Colombia, especially the plane bombing. The DEA also manages to track down Gacha, one of Escobar’s principal associates, and violently guns him and his son down.

As politicians and his fellow business associates begin to turn against him, Escobar finds a way to strike back at them all: he kidnaps journalist Diana Turbay, the daughter of ex-president Julio Cesar Turbay. Escobar uses Diana as a political bargaining chip to fight the extradition plans that the elected president, César Gaviria, has set in motion and to negotiate a peace treaty between the Medellin Cartel and the government. After months of gridlock, the government makes one final attempt to capture Escobar, but government forces make the critical mistake of killing hostage Diana Turbay. As Colombia mourns her death, President Gaviria accepts the terms of Escobar’s deal, which will allow Escobar to be incarcerated in his own prison, La Catedral, guarded by his own men. The deal also suspends the extradition plans. Escobar and his colleagues will turn themselves in, and a tentative peace will be quickly restored to Colombia.

Nevertheless, Escobar suffers a tremendous personal blow when his cousin Gustavo Gaviria is brutally killed by the “Search Bloc", a designated team of Colombian Special Operations agents, led by Colonel Carrillo and tasked with catching high-level drug barons.[17]In the meantime, Escobar faces competition from the rival Cali Cartel and opposition from members of his own crew. In La Catedral, however, he is protected from authorities and can live in peace without constantly being chased by the Search Bloc. Escobar decorates La Catedral to his liking and hosts guests frequently, including judges, prostitutes, and his family.

The DEA manages to track the movements of people going in and out of La Catedral and observe that two of Pablo’s closest associates, Moncada and Galeano, entered the prison but never left. As the rumors begin to circulate that Escobar killed them in La Catedral, the government uses this new information to try to convince Escobar to be transported to a jail in Bogota so that the government can further "fortify" La Catedral. Escobar does not approve of this condition that the government is forcing him into; he knows that once in government hands he will be prosecuted and extradited to the United States. The army nevertheless surrounds La Catedral. Eduardo Sandoval, vice-minister of justice, decides to brashly enter the prison to escort Escobar out. He mistakenly assumes he has Pablo’s cooperation and is surprised when Escobar takes him hostage, forcing Sandoval to speak with President Gaviria on Escobar’s behalf. President Gaviria, fed up with Escobar’s persistent demands, calls for a special-forces team to be sent into the prison to kill Escobar and his men. The team enters, and Sandoval is rescued safely, but Escobar narrowly escapes La Catedral with a few of his men.

Outside La Catedral, Escobar is much more vulnerable because he no longer has the protection of his hundreds of men.
