Narcos.

Somewhere deep down this is a good show. Unfortunately, it's impossible not to be distracted by how big of a greasy pig Escobar was. His hair was always disgusting and he was easily the world's worst dressed rich person. Jesus Christ, no fashion sense whatsoever. He kept going on and on and on about growing up poor. Buddy, trust me, no need to say it. No amount of drug money could hide the fact that you had no shoes growing up. To make matters worse, they cast an actor with an actual pig nose. I don't know if this was deliberate, but I just couldn't focus no matter how hard I tried and it ruined the show for me.

And since we're on the subject of fashion - I genuinely believe it should be legal to send a bomb to anyone that's ever been known and proven to wear a Pablo Escobar t-shirt, provided it detonates in a controlled area and doesn't harm any life or property not belonging to the t-shirt wearing individual. If your fashion statement says you're down with mass murder and bombs - that's legal consent to have your head blown off as far as I'm concerned. Tell me I'm wrong, boys.

Well, thats how people dressed in those countries back in the day. To them, it was the best you could dress. Now because of social media, everyone around the world is trying to dress American. For example, bow ties. I'm seeing bow ties everywhere now thanks to Instagram and Facebook, these f-cking hoodrats all of the sudden wearing suspenders and bow ties at prom and sh-t.

Did you enjoy the show then?

I've never seen it. Strangely enough, 2 days ago, I started watching Matlock starring Andy Griffith. I dont know why, why am I watching this instead of stuff like Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, or other new shows everyone else is sprung on, but every second of episode of 1 Matlock made me feel so calm, relaxed, and just wonderful. No wonder my grandparents and their friends would kick me out of the living room every time that show came on. Oh, how my grandma would jump in the air and clap her hands every time the clock struck 2 pm.

EDIT: Looks like I got carried away with this post.

My grandma didn't watch Mattlock, but she told me she was a military nurse during WWII, helping soldiers. I was so proud of her, I used to tell all my buddies about it, I was pretty stoked to have such a cool grandma. Then one day, one friend asked how old my grandma was. I was blinded by my love and admiration for her that I didn't think to do the math myself. She was way too young to be a nurse at that time.

It was the first time I was trolled. When I asked on her death bed why she did it, she didn't answer and just died a bit later. I didn't understand it at first, but when I was older it ocurred to me she was the best troll I ever knew. That's when I decided I would dedicate my life to carrying on her legacy, hoping to live up to her one day.

Wow, women back then were as just as big attention whores as they are now. I can imagine your grandma posting sh-t on Facebook about helping wounded worriers just to get a few hundred likes on pics.

Maybe I'll tune in to see the final episode, with the men who killed him posing for pictures with his corpse like big game hunters.

Oh, that already happened, it was greatly satisfying. But missing out on the build up would be a great disservice, trust me.

Still, the star of the show was undoubtedly Colonel Carillo. He'd shoot a child in the head to make an example of what happens to children who spot for Escobar, and he threw his sicarios out of planes, for realzies, not like the pussy CIA guy from TDKR. I loved him at first sight.

Easily my favorite scene in The Good Shepherd is when that woman gets tossed from the plane. Sometimes the old ways are still the best.

If you enjoyed this show, you may enjoy the book Killing Pablo, by Mark Bowden. It doesn't pull any punches and forces the reader to confront the moral ambiguity of US strategy in taking down Escobar. Sometimes, to take down a monster, you have to become one yourself. A battle of wills with someone that ruthless is no place for idealism.
