Some great holiday binge watching programs being offered this weekend
One of Netflix most popular series is back for their third season. Narcos is about drug lord Pablo Escobar and the law enforcement officers who tracked him down. Both season one and two of this outstanding drama series created by the creative minds of Chris Brancato, Carlo Bernard and Doug Miro, has ten episodes each so if you need to catch up there is plenty of things to binge.
It is hardly a spoiler alert here as we know in season two Escobar was killed. We don’t expect a Bobby Ewing return, but we do get an idea where the show is going.
“Rise of a New Empire.” Is the focus of the new trailer as we now move on to see how the Cali Cartel in the Colombian drug trade takes over the game with Escobar out of the picture.
Acorn offers a great new drama The Governor, from the creator of Prime Suspect, the U.S. debut of the 1995-1996 British drama starring two-time Oscar-nominee Janet McTeer (Tumbleweeds, The Honourable Woman, Albert Nobbs) as Helen Hewitt, the first woman put in charge of Barfield, a maximum security prison that had been nearly destroyed by a disastrous riot. Despite being greeted with open hostility by inmates and little enthusiasm by prison staff, she is determined to clean up the place. The series guest stars Oscar®-nominee Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda), Eamonn Walker (Chicago Fire, Oz), and Idris Elba (Luther) in one of his first roles. (12 EPS)
