Drug Lords (2018)
5/10
A lot of bad information, and IMPORTANT things left out..
31 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
In the episode about El Chapo, they never ONCE mentioned that the DEA (and pretty sure they never mentioned the Mexican either) worked with him, and his Sinaloa cartel. They also tried really hard to potray the DEA as the good guys, who wanted nothing but to stop the terrible drug lord El Chapo, which is completely bull, considering they were working together for years.

In the episode about the Cali cartel, the series claimed it's an operation started by the cartel that led to Pablo Escobar's death, and this is 1000% false. It was a police operation -- through and through -- and the Cali cartel had NOTHING to do with it.

Overall, it's a decent watch, but due to the misinformation, I cannot recommend it.
