Narcos was one of the first Netflix series that stood out, thanks to the way of recreating the life of the drug lord Pablo Escobar, accompanied by all his tricks and eccentricities. The series, starring Wagner Moura, Pedro Pascal and Boyd Holbrook, served to elevate the figure of the first two thanks to their great interpretations.
Narcos was so successful that it forced Netflix to continue with the style through a spin-off, since the Pablo Escobar story as such couldn't have done more (of course). It is clear that with Narcos, Netflix has hit the right key to attract millions of viewers, although the series we bring you below are also worthy of recognition. So if you want more after hooking up with Narcos, here are 5 series that can be more than attractive and that you can find on Netflix.
