I Just finished the original Narcos and I saw in another post how Maria only did what she had to do in her situation and that that's comparable to Jorge Salcedo only that she had no other choice. I disagree because after her husband was killed and she found out his fate, she could've simply gone about her life.
Instead, she decided to sleep with a bigger drug boss, the same one that ordered her husband's death (for a bs reason, maybe not for pacho, but for miguel because the husband cheated on his wife and you wanted her??? C'mon man...) for "protection" AND to get her son back from the MIL who had every right to be pissed that maria's sleeping with her son's killer. Which I doubt the MIL wouldn't have refused to give the son back had she not learned that maria was sleeping with miguel.
Then she asks Miguel "can i get a stipend?" and he agrees and gives her a house, basically becoming a trophy wife to which Don Orlando and David expresses digust at by labeling her a whore. I saw someone in another post ask what makes her a whore? Dude, didn't she literally sell her ass twice to Miguel and Don Orlando? Then before she sold david's location, asked him if she could continue to get paid for doing nothing to which he responded "you're not my mother, and wtf do i owe you?" and called her a whore. First off, David's a dick and deserved to die for a couple reasons, but was he wrong for that? So the dude you asked for protection from and he granted, you set his son up to get killed because he didn't want to take care of you anymore? lol. You could argue that that was revenge for killing her husband but I'd be rolling in my grave if I found out somehow that my wife was fucking my enemy and all chummy with him (even though he was a cheater too, but his enemy who killed him?).
So basically what I'm asking is, do you think you could compare Maria's situation to Jorge's? If so, why? Because to me, the situation of watching your predescesors and your friends get killed along with their families and being scapegoated, knowing that you'll be next eventually and having to decide whether to remain and see what happens and risk being jailed/killed by the DEA, police or rival cartels or inform and heighten your chances of being killed in exchange for a chance to save both you and your family isn't the same as maria's situation. Go about your life after realizing that ur husband got killed and becoming a normal civilian or use this as an opportunity to benefit and get "p

He was my favorite part of the show this season.
We know that David does not like Jorge very much, that is evident when David volunteers Jorge to go speak with the Investigator regarding the Chlorine incident.
However i dont think David had any mal-intent towards Jorge until David came across Jorge in the investors meeting. The investors themselves did not know who David was, this is evident by them asking Jorge who he was after the altercation. So Jorge could of just waved and smiled, and not made David angry, Then David would not of had such a hard on for Jorge for the remainder of the Series. Jorge screwed himself over really.
I'm really interested in how they'd go about tracking down Salcedo to consult on the show?
I just finished season 3. My favorite character from this brilliant season hands down, he has such a great character arc.
There are some scenes whenever Jorge coming out from his house, he will shake the grille hardly. May i ask what it means? What was he checking? Thank you.
Not sure how accurate to reality his storyline is, but at the end of the season it totally seems like he screwed himself over and picked the wrong side.
He originally contacts the DEA because he doesn’t feel safe with Cali anymore, and is just pursuing the best option for himself and his family. There’s no moral obligations or desires for justice coming for him, he’s just hunting for the best outcome.
Then in episode 9, Miguel brings up his “retirement,” and even offers to support his legitimate business in the near-future.
Instead, he’d already betrayed Miguel, and he ended up getting shipped off in the WPP and living an unglamorous life in America.
If he’d never contacted the DEA, never snitched, and just done his job, he likely could’ve retired from Cali with Miguel’s blessing, lived a successful and legitimate life, and kept his family in Colombia. Damn lol.
Jätteskumt att man inte tränat bort den, eller vad tycker ni?
I found an article in NYtimes about Jorge salcedo and how he took down the cartel , the showrunners have done a honest job
She is extremely attractive.
I was curious to know what kind of car does Jorge drive? Is that a Mazda or what make and model is it? It might be a foreign car not imported into the USA like Opel.
Virtually no season 3 spoilers, it mentions the extent of his role, nothing more.
The Swedish newspaper GP did an interview with Varela and I thought I'd translate it for you all. It's far from perfect, I've translated most sentences directly so the grammar will be awkward but it's at least better than a Google Translated one. I also haven't proof read it. English is also not my first language. There, that's enough excuses.

>Wait, I'm getting a hug now! .. woosh!
Matias Varela disappears from the phone for a few seconds. When he returns he's out of breath. It's been a hectic morning - but not because of the forthcoming international career.
> It's the life as a parent. He's a morning man, this little guy, and he wants to go to the park at seven. So I just have to grab a hold of life and get out of bed laughter
Are you home in Stockholm?
>Yes, for a few more days. After that I'm going to Los Angeles, I'm meeting new employers and representatives, and perhaps I'll be looking at what happens after this big one.
This big one. Matias obviously speaks of the role as Jorge Salcedo in the Netflix series Narcos, the worlds largest tv production after Game of Thrones and the reason for why he suddenly has to commute between the USA and Sweden to juggle international media and agents.
The conscience-filled antihero Jorge is the Snabba Cash(Easy Money, 2010 movie) actors first international lead role, and a big step upwards from the minor roles in movies like Point Break and Assassin's Creed.
#The Essential Nervousness
He had no idea that the role would be this big until he was at the set in Colombia and was deep in to his work.
>My Swedish brain told me not to get worked up. You know, be the midfielder, only do my job as good as I could. If half my scenes ended up on the cutting room floor it'd still be the biggest job of my life.
But scene after scene was added to his work day, and when they started shooting the fifth episode and Matias got a look at the shooting schedule for the day he was grabbed by insight.
> Shit, I was really in it all the time! It felt surreal.
Were you nervous?
>I'm always nervous. I'm 37 years of age, if it was a transitory period I would be over it already. For me it's a sign that what I'm doing will be good.
#The Risk: Success or Failure
But it wasn't completely ordinary, he admits. Matias tells of how he during the teams 8 m
