First appeared on Netflix in 2015, TV show Narcos draws a vivid picture of the war on drugs in Colombia and Pablo Escobar's parable.Between fiction and reality: a documentary style. Magical realism is defined as what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe. There is a reason magical realism was born in Colombia.
The theme of class struggle and the inability of social class movement between those born poor and those born into upper-class society in Colombia contextualizes the motivations of Pablo Escobar, humanizing him along the way. In the process of legitimizing Escobar, Narcos also questions the role of governments and outside agencies.
