I haven't been reviewing this season, but just had to critique this episode in particular. The action, for most of the season, has been fairly poorly directed, but it hits an all time low with this episode. Its attempt at a one take fight (because, uh, you know, that's trendy now) is honestly laughable, and is also not a fitting cinematic technique for Narcos whatsoever. I hated the cinematography of the entire episode too. You can't just be glamorous for no reason. Here, none of the fancy shots have meaning and it's really distracting. In addition to all that, I hated the editing of this episode, I hated the pacing of this episode, I hated the direction of this episode and, most importantly, I hated how much this didn't feel like the Narcos I love.

This is a definite outlier of this otherwise decent season (certainly the weakest season of Narcos yet though, without a doubt).
