Make no mistake, Gallardo’s half of the episode is fun, but Kiki’s realization of the magnitude of what he’s dealing with is the more exciting part of the episode. Then there’s Kiki’s expedition out to the pot farm. For another, a lead on a gangster takes them straight to the governor’s son’s wedding, which, being arranged by Gallardo, is a veritable Who’s Who of the city’s wealthy and powerful - including those known to be in the drug trade. They’re initially still resistant - especially after a surveillance flight that they request turns up nothing but photos of empty desert - but the evidence that something is rotten in the state of Denmark (well, Guadalajara) is piling up to the point that they can’t ignore it anymore.įor one thing, it turns out that the surveillance photos are from a year ago. Though there’s still bureaucratic red tape pretty much everywhere, Kiki at least has Kuykendall & Co. Every puzzle piece has snapped into place (if you’re watching this - or any Netflix show, really - you probably don’t need me to tell you that there’s always some narrative fat to be trimmed, but that’s neither here nor there), and the season has broken into a sprint. Though, stumbles and all, this season of Narcos has been moving at a relative brisk clip, the third episode noticeably turns up the heat.
