I just finished watching the 2nd one. Interesting movies, like Lord of War just with drugs.
Amazing how much money these guys were making, $10, $20, $80 million a month!
The smart ones were the guys who just shipped and distributed the drugs, they seemed to get away and make the most money without getting caught. I remember in the first one they were talking about buying Mercedes in the 80's with cash like they cost $5.
The first one was more about the kingpins, the guys who moved the drugs into the country and made billions in some cases doing it. The 2nd movie centers around the smaller street dealers and distributors. As well as Griselda Blanco.
