Weekend Preview: ‘Narcos: Mexico’ And An Atypical Chuck Lorre Comedy Launch On Netflix

Netflix

Narcos: Mexico (Netflix) — The most intoxicating season yet of this Netflix hit travels back in time to the beginning of the drug war. Agent Kiki Camarena (Michael Peña) takes on drug kingpin Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo (Diego Luna), and institutional f*ckery is rampant with no happy endings in sight.
