  1. This series provides a quirky chemistry between the characters that leaves you wanting more. The second episode was phenomenal. This show should really go on with a little more depth and detail into Irene. Paula Gaitan was great in NARCOS and should be given a great role. I love the role she plays. Hopefully there will be a season 2. Please!
