They played a ton of Reagan soundbites during the first season and focused heavily on anti-communism. I'm thinking they do Nicaragua and the contras who were funded by the drug trade and the US govt turning a blind eye on it which led to the huge crack trade in LA. Maybe we'll even see Rick Ross (the real Rick Ross, not the rapper who stole the name and pretended he was a drug dealer).
But I agree that they'll probably close the Escobar storyline with Los Pepes playing some role.

I think there's enough to stick with an Escobar story.
You can easily stretch this another 10 eps on Columbia
Escobar getting even more bomb crazy. Always on the run. His cartel being slowly picked off.
Escobar's son becoming his main point of contact
CIA gets even more involved
Delta Force deployed in Columbia
Search Bloc reactivated
Escobar's family basically used as bait
Los Pepes going buckwild - doing their own bombing and assassinations
Rumors of Los Pepes being trained by Delta Force - which almost has all US forces pulled from the country

Just started watching and, so far, good show. I'm not seeing the parallels to the quality of Breaking Bad that people on imdb are pointing out, more like a different kind of The Shield. Especially in knowing how it all turns out all of the grey area stuff that the good guys do is interesting to watch while hearing how the narrator internalized and justified the decisions. The translations are really wonky and not uniform from episode to episode. They call people faggots constantly and translate it into something different when one of the main characters says it.
Looking forward to a S2 just from what I've seen so far.

I don't speak spanish, but I did notice that. The subtitles start to get more "fag" in them in the back half of the season. And one of the episodes wasn't subtitled at all, I had to go in and turn them on. THE HORROR.
It's actually kind of strange and I figgured it was a quirk of the subtitles instead of any real change in what they were saying. Hermano, Hombre, Amigo also seemed to be kinda loose and interchangable.
And i've always heard that "Puta" means not "Motherfucker". But there's a pretty long scene with one of them yelling "..., Puta!" and it's translated as "..., Motherfucker!" So he's just callin them pussies I thought. What a weird thing that they cleaned up "You Pussy" to "You Motherfucker".

Eh, unless my cooks are wrong, puta means bitch. So Puta Madre means.. you guessed it, Bitch Mother. Kind of a shitty insult for the most part. Though I guess it is sort of interchangeable with "fucker" in many cases. Either way, calling someone a puta madre is asking to get stabbed in the face. Carry on!

Great show, I'm about halfway through and it's easily one of the best new series of the past year or two. Right up there in quality with Mr Robot and the first season of True Detective, IMHO. Might be Netflix's best original series to date (and I enjoyed Bloodlines and Daredevil quite a bit)
