Netflix, obviously, was my first experience of binge-watching. Like, you do it, ruins your sleep pattern. They're cliffhangers. Right? They're just, they're treacherous because you're like, "All right, I'm just going to watch this episode and go to bed." It's always around bed, right? It's never like, "I'm going to watch this and go for a jog." Or, "I'm going to watch this and eat." It's always like, "I'm going to do this and go to bed." I'm Oliver Trevena here at the Young Hollywood Studio, joined by Maurice Compte. How are you? Good, brother. How are you doing? Good to see you, mate. Good to see you. I've been seeing a lot of you on my TV.

We This it will it helps when you've, uh, when you've seen the show. It's it's an amazing Narcos. It's amazing. I love it. Good. Imagine you were born in a poor family, in a poor country. And by the time you were 28 years old, you have so much money you can't even count it. Señores, yo soy Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria. haciendo negocios. Así que pues fresco. ustedes dirán. Plata o Plomo. That's a great story. It's as far as stories go. I think it's up there with the, with the best of them. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. I, you know, the funny thing about Narcos is that the story has been retold so much, so many times.

And I think they're still finding new angles to go at it from to kind of make the story more interesting. And as time goes by, they're finding out, you know, new details that emerge from new people like Popeye that got out of prison. He has his own. Right. Right, exactly. Yeah. I have to be honest, when I saw it originally, I was like, "Oh, it's kind of been done before but this is a totally new way of looking at it, especially from the, from the eyes and the voice of the DEA." Their angle, you know. Right. Extradition doesn't mean anything unless you can catch them. So I'll help you, Bill. Oh, that's right. Gringo to the rescue. It's one man against United States of America.

One man with helicopters, airplanes, vehicles, planned escape routes, and a network of informants everywhere. Our government will provide money, men, weapons. You make it sound so easy. But Escobar has always managed to stay one step ahead of us. And you're Horacio Carrillo, you're heavily involved in, in finding. You're the, you're the head guy in finding, finding the man. Yeah. You know, another interesting thing is that, um, you know, Netflix wanting to kind of have everybody be represented, which I think is a very smart move. They actually put Carrillo in to give it a more Colombian perspective as well. Which I think Right. Right.

You know, allows Latin America to kind of see themselves being represented in, you know, this tyrant coming in and taking over their country. As you know, he took the entire country to war. It's nice for them to be able to see themselves represented and not just have the DEA come in and save the day. Right. Right, exactly. Yeah, it's definitely, it, it, it, it somewhat feels more real. It feels how it probably was, you know. Right. That's that's what they're aiming for. Yeah. As opposed to just like, not that I want to Right. America down, obviously. But just that the Americans tell, you know, you've got the other angle, which is, which is amazing.

And Carrillo is such a, such a great character. I mean, he's got the, the depth. You think extradition's a victory? It is. Escobar will not go lightly. He will make Colombia bleed. Carrillo is kind of a throwback to integrity times. When people actually Right. Isn't that worrying that you have to say, "That's kind of a throwback to integrity times?" They put the asterisk next to him on that. That we had leaders and I mean, to some level we still do, we're we're fortunate in this country especially that we still have leaders with integrity. But, you know, back then people put their country and the love for their people and their country first. Right. Right.

And that was, I think, Carrillo's main strong point. He may have gone at it in unorthodox ways, but even back then, I think the term of battling and the ways that other countries do battle sometimes to us seems very violent. But I think that was just daily business to them. I don't think that the way that Carrillo went about it was like he saw himself as a killer. He was actually fighting a war on the streets every day. Right. Right. And, and, and he saw innocent people getting killed and there's a lot of other deeper stuff that the show may go into in the second season.

It may not, but I think that you do understand not just Carrillo, but you also understand the threat level that Escobar actually was Right. to that country. Right. You know. Ah, the power, the power that guy had was was crazy. It's mind-blowing to watch. Yeah. And, uh, and Netflix have obviously done an amazing job of making it look so real because you went to Colombia. That's where it was filmed. Yeah, you know, they There were no there were no, uh, no sets built in Hollywood. No, they went through a lot of pains to, uh, actually go to the locations.

Uh, we actually filmed in a location near the coast where it's still controlled by the guerillas and, uh, they actually had to make a deal with the controlling guerillas so that we could go in there and actually film. Okay. You let them go, make that deal, right? You stood back. I yeah. Yeah. We didn't know it was actually one of the days when we were leaving, like, one of the producers, I think, somebody had told us, they're like, "You know, this area is still controlled is still guerilla controlled." And I'm like, "Oh." And they're like, "Don't worry, they won't mess with us. Like once you get permission from the main guy to be here, like, you're allowed access to it."

And it was truly a stunning place to be. Talking about Netflix, obviously, it gives everyone that amazing, uh, thing that you can just switch on your TV and watch all 10 in one go. Absolutely. I think for people that are either busy or like to binge-watch. Right. Netflix obviously was my first experience of binge-watching. Like, you do it, ruins your sleep pattern. Because I used to be like, "Oh, I'll watch a movie at 8:00 p. m. Be in bed by 11:00." But when you have that option to carry on, you find yourself just carrying on. Right. Right.

I think one of the, and and we talk about this and laugh, and I mean, obviously, it's credit to the writers that work on these shows, but like, they're cliffhangers. Right. They're just, they're treacherous because you're like, "All right, I'm just going to watch this episode and go to bed." It's always around bed. Right? It's never like, "I'm going to watch this and go for a jog." Or, "I'm going to watch this and eat." It's always like, "I'm going to do this and go to bed." So what we do is we normally watch one episode and the first 10 minutes of the next one. Okay. That's so that we can actually That's smart. That's smart. And it takes all your willpower. It's That's true. Yeah. I fail.

I fail. I always have that intention that I'm going to carry on. Yeah. That's after watching three episodes, you know. You're like, "I'm only doing that." And you're like, "Dude, I cannot do this to my life anymore." Like, you're ruining me. Right. Yeah. Yeah. But they've been good. They've been good with the cliffhangers. What was the last show that you binge-watched? The last show that I binge-watched was probably Bloodline. Okay. I think. There you go. I'm yet to start that. I need to start that. A lot of people keep telling me. I I watched it, I've watched a lot of the Netflix, um, original series. Other shows that I guess that they've acquired like The Fall with Gillian Anderson.

She's amazing in it. But Bloodline to me was wow. I was man. Okay. That's I'm I'm sold on it. I'm sold on it. If he says that, I'm doing it. I think you guys will like it. I'm sure you will. I think there'll be there'll be PSAs coming out soon for Netflix and bad for your health and sleeping patterns. Yeah. You're going to have people with complete, like, Netflix "I haven't slept, I haven't slept." Blame Netflix. It's ruined me. Um, but it's great. But yes, you can watch this guy and all 10 episodes of Narcos on Netflix.
