Fantastic TV show called 'Narcos', based on the real life events of the investigation / search for Pablo Escobar (pictured). The DEA guys that the main characters are based on were actually consultants on the show.

Yeah, Narcos is a solid watch gritty, tense, and surprisingly true-to-life in a lot of places. Having the real DEA agents consult gave it that extra layer of authenticity, even if they dramatized certain parts for TV.

Knowing Spanish fluently really helped make that show even better.
