Pretty much this. I had some issues with season 2, but I've watched season 1 about 10 times. Such a fantastic show.
 
Review: Netflix's 'Narcos' Starring Wagner Moura And Boyd Holbrook

For all the talent that was there behind and, for the most part, in front of, the camera, the result is so muddled that I have to wonder if there was too many cooks in this kitchen. Perhaps a more creative route would work better for this grand crime tale. After all, Netflix isn’t bound by the typical rules/structure of traditional TV. Why not make duel mini-series, one from the US side and the other focusing on Colombia? Or just focus strictly on Escobar and go from there. It’s hopefully not too late to right this ship if we get more episodes. But one thing is certain: great crime tales are all about immersing the viewer in the world of the characters, and “Narcos” never stuck its hooks in me. It even became a slog to finish about midway through. But, if this show can’t do it, maybe the next film about Escobar will let the man be at the center of his own story. [C-]

Venice Review: Cary Joji Fukunaga's 'Beasts Of No Nation' Starring Idris Elba

It is long, it is demanding and it gives us no easy answers or pat conclusions, but "Beasts of No Nation" performs a crucial service in making us understand that this is not "Boko Haram" or "ISIS" or a bunch of undifferentiated, unwanted kids killing each other in a distant Third World country. This is you or me, but for the grace of whatever God Agu prays to in vain. And why would God answer? As even the Commandant says at one point, this is not the work of God, but of man. [A]
