we definitely need more mob shows and movies...for whatever reason they have always been criminally under represented on the entertainment landscape

Only if we can also have more shows about cops breaking laws to solve crimes.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

The Last Narc on Prime is fantastic.

It's a doc on the murder of Kiki Camarena. The DEA agent kidnapped and killed by the Guadalajara cartel and highlighted in Narcos Mexico.

Since I'm off and back here I'll have a lot of time to dig down into this rabbit hole that watching this show has created.

I've always known The War on Drugs was a sham. But never imagined how deep the corruption ran. What they showed in the doc was pretty explosive imo.

I just finished halt and catch fire...amazing show that is definitely on the non wire goat list...in particular the ending...can't think of a show that ended better

This is right up my alley...but how bad do they go into the torture aspect? In Narcos they'd torture him until he'd pass out then give him an adrenaline shot to wake him back up so they could torture him more. If it's mostly him being tortured I'll pass. What they did to that man is disturbing

It's addressed. In detail and they read the transcripts of him in pain and begging not to get beaten more. They also addressed the torture and killing of the Mormons. On the women they put a rope between their legs and pulled so they're get rope burn.

The fascinating part is they have a ton of first hand account interviews. DEA people and the Mexicans who were cops but working for the cartel.

its in my top 10 all time
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

i get what you are saying but i never felt it wasnt about him until the last season...i think season 2 and 3 felt more about the women because season one was 130% about him where as 2 and 3 were like 75% about him

really good column on the show....https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/10/15/16473012/halt-and-catch-fire-finale-recap-amc-ten-of-swords

written basically knowing that 0 people watched it and that its going to be a slow discovery for everyone over the years as word spreads.
