Narcos Season 3 - Entertaining, Engaging and Addictive just as the first two seasons

Even without Wagner Moura's portrayal of Paolo Escobar, season three of Narcos is still just as entertaining, engaging and addictive as the first two seasons, that unfolds the Cali Cartel and The Godfathers' reign in Columbia during the 1990s.

Season Three started off slow. The first three episodes were slow, but episode four was when the plot thickens. Gilberto's arrest, being a game changing moment for the Cali Cartel as Miguel Rodriguez and his Joffrey Baratheon/Ramsay Bolton like son, David started killing off men that failed them along with their families. This was the definitive moment for Jorge, to make the risky decision to secretly work with the DEA to save his family, keeping us on the edge of our seats.

While the complexity of Pena is still being in play, as he often reminds everyone that he is no hero, referring back to what he did in last season, where he went to Los Pepes to aide them in capturing Escobar and the Median Cartel. This time, Pena is carefully going by the book in conducting search warrants, but gets sidetracked when he has to rescue Christina Jurado, Franklin Jurado's wife in a jungle in Columbia. Despite this storyline possibly not happening, the complexity of Pena was to put to the test that he would do anything to win, even if it's unorthodox which is what makes Narcos engaging and entertaining, it is the question that makes us viewers ask, are the DEA just as bad as the Narcos? Particular in this case Pena.

The actors portrayed their characters really well, one portrayal that I really liked in particular was Jorge Salcedo, played by Sweedish actor Matias Varelea. The storytelling was complex and well engaging, being able to create that suspense, whether you're familiar with the story or not. The Cinematography was also amazing, as it also helped create suspense along with the tone of the musical score to fit certain scenes.

I know Narcos isn't the most historically accurate source for the Cali Cartel, but it's so entertaining, is what makes up for it. Overall, this season was incredible. From what we saw, season 4 will be set in Mexico and Pedro Pascal might return (hopefully he does).

Other highlights include:

8 Overlooked Cartoon Network Shows

Whenever we talk about Cartoon Network Shows, often that is mentioned are Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Regular Show or beloved Childhood Classics such as Ed, Edd N Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, etc. Here is a list of underrated Cartoon Network Shows. Class of 3000 This show was great. I remember playing the Class of 3000 Funkbox game on the Cartoon Network website. This show ran from 2006 - 2008 but unfortunately it was cancelled due to a lawsuit filed by Timothy McGee on alleged copyright claims against Andre 3000. Well at least we have the Funkbox game, if that, still exist. Mike, Lu and Og This show is so sadly forgotten. A lot people found this cartoon boring, but not me, I actually loved it! But of course, the last time I saw this show, I was six, yet I remember some episodes like the jujubombs, rollerskates and baseball. Tell me again why people thought this show was boring? Time Squad I'ts go time! I absolutely LOVED...

Mr. Robot Season 3 Episode 1 - Power Save Mode (Spoilers)

Mr. Robot Season 3 starts off a solid premier, by moving at a faster pace, delivering a thrillingly strong straight forward story, ending it with a shocking twist, making the rest of the season look very promising. The season starts off with a strange mysterious charcter, who is possibly an FBI diplomat (Bobby Canavale) ordering a milkshake. He then gets a call, hearing that Elliot was shocked. I really like the addition of Bobby Canavale in the new cast, as he portrays the mysterious character really well. Elliot wakes up in Angela's apartment six days after a gun shot wound, from Tyrell Wellick. Elliot realises that Mr. Robot is gone, so he decides to end Stage 2 by shutting down the backdoor, with the help of his sister Darlene. Elliot succeeds in this but is approach by this mysterious new character, a possible FBI diplomat who tells them that Stage 2 is off. Of course Elliot and Darlene don't believe this. Wanting to fix what he did wrong, Elliot decides to work...

Mr. Robot Season 3 Episode 3 - Legacy (Spoilers)

Season 3 so far has been outstanding. With three episodes in, this Tyrell centric, all flashback episode that finally giving us answers to what happened on the night of the hack and what happened to Tyrell, as well as providing a backstory for the new character, Irving. Honestly this show really confuses the hell out of me sometimes, but that's what the show is supposed to do. Which is actually one of the reasons why I like this show. It's so different compared to other shows that I've watched. That being said, I was left pretty confused after the season one finale and wondered what happened on the Night of the hack and Tyrell. I assumed dead, until towards the end of the second season, but like Elliot, was wondering if he was real. I feel like I can understand Tyrell now, after going through such great character development. It reminded me a bit of Jaime Lannister's journey back to King's Landing with Brienne of Tarth. What I think is funny is that ...
