Nowadays, there is probably not a person alive who has not heard about Mexican drug cartels. Their showdowns are in the news reports of emergencies around the world, and even Netflix shoots series about them. And today we're going to talk about that period that is so fascinating to filmmakers. The period when the Mexican cartels completed their transition from being smuggling gangs to multi-billionaires. The time when they started making it into Forbes, flying the most expensive private superjets, and buying up the most expensive real estate around the world.

We'll travel back to the 1980s and look at how Félix Gallardo, Rafa Quintero, Don Neto and others created Mexico's biggest drug trafficking ring. We'll see how the U.S. DEA fought it out, battling both in the field with the bargirls and with U.S. and Mexican bureaucrats. And, as always, we'll try to give you the facts that don't lie on the surface.

So if you're interested in hearing what were the real events that Netflix showed in the series “Narcos:Mexico,” then meet the Guadalajara Cartel, on the other side of the law.
