In case there was any doubt, Narcos: Mexico star Diego Luna will be reprising his role as the Guadalajara cartel’s godfather and drug lord, Felix Gallardo, in Season 2. Luna did exceptional work in the first season of Netflix’s companion series, making us truly care about this really terrible man as someone who was (as portrayed here) both shrewd and vulnerable. But it’s also no … Continue reading ‘Narcos: Mexico’ Season 2 Already Filming!!!
I say this with extreme cautious optimism … this True Detective Season 3 trailer is giving me serious Season 1 vibes.

It’s not surprising, but it is still a relief: Netflix has renewed its Narcos spinoff, Narcos: Mexico for a second season.

In some ways it felt like it undermined Kiki’s story, not allowing him to … Continue reading ‘Narcos: Mexico’: Season 2 Renewed by Netflix!!!

True Detective Season 1 was a massive hit. True Detective Season 2…not so much. There were a lot of reasons that Season 2 didn’t work as well—the cast was a bit too large, the plotting a little too convoluted, and it lacked the thematic punch and intensity of the first season. But it looks like True Detective Season 3 is going to get things back … Continue reading ‘True Detective’: New Season 3 Trailer Follows Mahershala Ali Across Three Time Periods!!! Check It Out!!
