whats wrong w narcos?

I don't remember why I didn't like it because I watched it a long time ago but I think it was because of illogical plot. This is the same reason I don't like the 4th SAW movie because Jigsaw was making the traps to give a gift of making people realize how valuable their life is to themselves because he was about to die himself. That was the whole reason that he killed his partner. It began to implicitly drift from this motive to randomized killings but what triggered me to stop watching was the 4th movies first trap because Jigsaw set up the trap for retributive punishment yet from past movies, he said the traps were a gift.

i agree with the saw 4 take tbf

narcos, i think it falls off after season 1 and that the ending to season 1 is bad, but i like everything else.

it's not a very good show, hence why i didn't put it into "must watch"

Whiteboard7 · Aug 10, 2025

Very good recommendation. Heard of these shows before but will definitely look at a few of these?
