What happens when you blindfold a group of strangers, drop them somewhere in the world, and challenge them to figure out where they are, with no maps, phones, or windows?NBC’sDestination X, hosted by the charismatic (and delightfully mischievous) Jeffrey Dean Morgan, turns that nerve-wracking question intoTV’s next great obsession.

For a show that is rarely surprising,Narcosmakes a pretty gutsy move in attempting to move past the death of Pablo Escobar in its third season.Wagner Maura’s seductive performance as Escobar served as an anchor to the Netflix show’s first two seasons but the show’s underdeveloped thematic ideas stretch far beyond the lifespan of the Colombian drug lord. In its most potent and radical sequences, the series depicts the cocaine trade as primordial capitalism enacted by peoples repressed by their own nation and often in conjunction with the USA,which is deeply committed to an unfathomably fatal, hypocritical, and unjust drug war....
