Hey guys, I made a short mini documentary about this topic. Check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKLEiqifaL6Fn6s

How can this man receive any hate mail is beyond me. This guy is a national hero who took down one of the worst criminals in the world and deserves all the praise he can get! It would be an honour to meet him for anyone. Great interview.

I think if the feds didn’t get involved he would have been a good leader u can’t be no soft guy when ur in that life

[@Flapjack3734]

after watching the show, it feels very surreal to me that people somehow took away that Pablo wasn’t a complete monster…

[@themain3524]

It's probably because the actor nailed his role, and in the show he does have some ''swagger''. A few ''sweet'' scenes here and there and sure you'll have people be sad about him dying. A ''cool'' villain.

[@KingFarouk24]

I'm not surprised. I once dated a woman who admired Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. When I asked "why/how?" She said it was because of the stuff he did for his people. When I asked her about his killing, having people killed, raping and all the sh*t he did, she shrugged and said, "I know, but....". That was the last day/date I had w/ her.

"There's Nothing Glorious About Pablo"! Period. 👏

[@JarrodFLif3r]

How can Narcos make Pablo look good? It showed him ordering the plane bomb, as well as the bomb near Columbia's capital and many more acts of terror. I thought the actor did an excellent job portraying him, no doubt.

[@KT-hr7fc]

not good but just “cool” like the interviewer said. i agree with you though i think pablo was more likable due to the actor’s portrayal

[@JjDodo-nu4mb]

@@JarrodFLif3r Humans are emotional. Throughout the show we form an emotional attachment to the actor and character and people always tend to root for the villian in movies. They’re more exciting and satisfies inner demons we deal with. Most people in real life would despise Pablo but when watching dramatic television we are taught to root for characters we see mostly through the season. It’s not rocket science.

[@shivanihr5879]

To the host, thankyou for not interrupting the guest while he is telling his amazing stories. Great show.👍

[@katoness]

Escobar was an utter monster, anyone who says different is also a monster. As for Murphy he calls those in Hollywood sick puppies, yet he has a netflix poster in the background!!

[@Galvatronover]

He likes the series big wup doesn’t make him terrible

Bumped into Steve in Edinburgh outside his show and I asked him ‘how the hell are you still alive?’ "By the grace of god" was his answer. He said it was such a crazy time. Lovely guy

[@user-kb9cu4rl9z]

Watching Narcos for the second time. I'd forgotten most of it when it first came out. That Escobar made $420 million a WEEK, $420 mil a week!!! boggles my mind and makes me sick to my stomach. Wow. And murdered or had murdered over 4,000 people. He was a greedy, selfish, horrible, disgusting human. I am thankful to agents Murphy, Peña, and all those who took Escobar out. Shame on all the millions of cocaine users and pushers who contributed to his evil rein of terror. They willingly helped him do it. Good of his son to change his name. I'd want nothing to do with Escobar either.

Uhh you know this is all bullshit right? Haha, there were guys much bigger than pablo and a lot of them never got caught, and most people haven’t heard of them either because that’s the way they wanted it. Pablo enjoyed the attention and wanted to be the big man, which led to his downfall.

[@lucasknudsen6423]

Calling a man that build hospitals, schools, houses for poor and homeless people greedy and selfish😂

[@petr8068]

This is a sign of today's times. Mass murderers and criminals are superstars on YouT and other social platforms, which is mainly contributed by, and unfortunately, the young generation, which accepts everything offered on the Internet "as a show" without thorough criticism of cruel reality. But as said, empathize with the victims and not the perpetrators.

[@R_S747]

Agreed

[@mrttripz3236]

@Thou Swell True but it is more honest, and because it is made by Colombians it feels much more authentic and less "Hollywood".

[@mrttripz3236]

@Thou Swell In which show?

[@mrttripz3236]

@Thou Swell I agree. The one thing Narcos had going for it was the actors and the higher production value. But the Patron de Mal actors were decent too
