Culture | Drugs and drama ESCOBAR IS DEAD, BUT “NARCOS” AND THE DRUGS TRADE LIVE ON KILLING THE KINGPINS DOESN’T STOP THE DRUGS BUSINESS, AS THE LATEST SEASON OF THE TRAFFICKING DRAMA MAKES

HORRIBLY CLEAR By T.W. NETFLIX scored a big hit with the first two seasons of “Narcos”, its slick dramatisation of the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar. But its third series, which is out on

September 1st, faces a problem: its swaggering Colombian antihero is dead, shot on a Medellín rooftop in the previous season’s finale. Most of his henchmen are no more, and Steve Murphy, the

American agent who helped to bring him to justice and who has served as the narrator of the series up until now, has left Colombia.
