It seems we're watching two different shows. I don't perceive this version of Escobar to be an antihero by any stretch of the imagination, and Narcos has shown Escobar "coldly ordering bombs", killing people with his bare hands, and being a narcissistic megalomaniac on more than one occasion. What it doesn't do is…

I enjoyed the plotting throughout the entire season and never once felt it was sluggish. Subjective, I guess.

12 minutes 11 seconds.

I don't know. My feeling is that they've done a good job of showing that he loves his family - but that's it. He's reasonably warm towards loyal soldiers, but he won't hesitate a second killing anyone that works for him that he thinks is betraying him (remember last season in la Catedral?). He was generous to the poor…

As an electronics engineer, I've had my share of broken or damaged phono jacks or plugs. But the percentage overall - compared to USB, Apple's proprietary connectors, or virtually any other plug/jack combo (excluding military connectors) - is drastically lower per hour used (they are just inherently simpler and more…

1) Of course you're "qualified" to express an opinion - just as I'm qualified to disagree with it (or your method of expressing it). But, despite what many people on the Internet appear to believe, there's a big difference between simply having an opinion about an artwork, and making a valid critique about an artwork.

Audio phono jacks (3.5mm and the other sizes) are some of the most reliable consumer jacks there are. The plugs and cables are much more prone to failure than the jacks - that's why they've been used for decades (in increasingly smaller versions). Jacks getting damaged or broken is most likely to occur because people…

"the lightning connector is more robust than the headphone jack"

No, that wasn't my intention at all. I was simply taking issue with his opinion about Master of None and Togetherness (neither of which I believe are self-indulgent or underdeveloped),

I did it for brevity's sake, but I'm not sure how including it changes my point. He wrote that "comedy in theory" usually comes across as self-indulgent and underdeveloped (like Master of None or Togetherness). To me that means he believes Master of None and Togetherness are undeniably self-indulgent and/or…

It reminds me of this problem in science where, e.g., physicists write idiotically about biology because they're overconfident in their ability to have it all figured out and have something worthwhile to say.

Did you think the massive sculptures, art cars, restaurants, bars, theme camps, temples, airport, clubs, lighting, etc. just magically appear and operate in the desert each year without human intervention?

Manitowoc County?

After those terrorist acts in '89, he'd have had such a high price on his head (and was so well-known worldwide), some in his family (including his wife and mother) would have likely had to undergo plastic surgery in order to remain undiscovered with him outside Medellín. There would be so many people looking to…

If he had quit before 1989, it might have worked out for him. But after 1989 (the assassination of Colombian presidential candidate Galán and the bombing of Avianca Flight 203 and the DAS Building), I think it would have been very difficult for him to find refuge anywhere outside of Medellín (or a prison of his own…

For the first season he gained weight. According to published reports, he said it was so hard on him physically, he had already requested a prosthetic in case there was a second season.

I'm fascinated by what it must be like to watch Narcos as a non-Spanish speaker.

One desperate, doomed woman pleads for her life by telling Quica it must have been Limon’s innocent friend Maritza who snitched, before Quica shoots her in the head.

17 months.

Yeah, I can understand how you (and he) feel - and from your point of view, it's a spoiler - but it's been revealed in literally every single review of this episode (or season 2) that I've read (and I've read quite a few).
