Season one chronicles the rise of drug lord Pablo Escobar, the ruthless boss of the Medellin Cartel and a known terrorist who was also a congressman, a family man and revered by the poor as a new Robin Hood.

Season two continues the story of drug lord Pablo Escobar, the ruthless boss of the Medellin Cartel, including his incarceration in a prison he himself builds and his subsequent fall from power.

Season three shifts its focus to Pablo Escobar’s real-life successors in the drug trade: Colombia’s Cali Cartel, "the biggest drug lords you’ve probably never heard of."
