Show of the week

Narcos
In Narcos, as in real life, Pablo Escobar is dead. But like international cocaine trafficking, the series carries on without him. Following a Season 2 finale that dramatized the killing of the Medellín kingpin, the focus turns to the Cali cartel, whose four godfathers took over the trade after helping bring Escobar down. Series fans will miss Wagner Moura’s riveting Escobar, as well as Boyd Holbrook’s portrayal of a real-life DEA agent. But the DEA team still has Javier Pena, and the series has upped its bad-guy factor by four. Available for streaming Friday, Sept. 1, Netflix ■
