About[]
Narcos: Mexico explores the origin of the modern war on drugs, beginning at the time when Mexican traffickers were a loose and disorganized confederation of small-time independent cannabis growers and dealers.
The series dramatizes the rise of the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s as Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo unifies the traffickers in order to build an empire. DEA agent Enrique Camarena Salazar moves his wife and young son from California to Guadalajara to take on a new post, and he quickly learns that his assignment will be more challenging than he ever could have imagined.

Controversies[]
Murder of Carlos Muñoz[]
Carlos Muñoz Portal, one of the show's location scouts, was found murdered with multiple gunshot wounds on September 15, 2017 near the town of Temascalapa, 60 kilometers away from Mexico City.
Since the murder took place in a remote location, there were a lack of witnesses. Authorities are believing in the possibility of drug cartel involvement, but it has not been confirmed as of 2020.
