Narcos: Season Three DVD Review

Narcos: Season Three is a fine conclusion to a decent series featuring yet another great performance from Pedro Pascal. I’ve never was a huge fan of the series having watched it once it hit home video.

SEASON SYNOPSIS

Season Three brings cocaine and the war on drugs closer to home as the Cali cartel, emboldened by the fall of Pablo Escobar, looks to exapnd its operations inside America’s borders. Cali Godfather Gilberto Rodriguez designs an exit strategy that will allow cartel leaders to live happily ever after — but his plans are threatened when someone within his organization teams up with DEA agent Peña (PEDRO PASCAL).

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 0/5

No features or a slip cover were included. The 2-discs are housed in a standard DVD case.

 

VIDEO – 4.25/5, AUDIO – 3.25/5

The season is presented with a 16×9 enhanced 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and looks perfectly fine, though nothing amazing. For the audio, I had to do a double take and make sure it was still 2018 because each episode is accompanied with a Dolby Digital 2.0 instead of the 5.1 channels. Not sure why but as it stands, is serviceable for clear dialogue but little else.

OVERALL – 2.75/5

Narcos: Season Three is a fine conclusion to a decent series featuring yet another great performance from Pedro Pascal. I’ve never was a huge fan of the series having watched it once it hit home video, though it is a shame that while seasons one and two got Blu-rays, this was DVD only (however, it is available on Blu-ray overseas). Also, this is a boneless release so no bonus material to check out either. At a sub $10, might be worth it…
