I am 3 episodes away from finishing the Narcos series and was wondering if we could dive into Escobar's life a bit. I want to know more about him and his life. How much of the show is factual? Some of the specific events that I'm interested in knowing if are true include

• Pablo losing all of his money, going to live on his father's farm with his last associate only to find the half million dollars he buried to be rotted.

• Pablo's family living with him during the multiple attacks

• Pablo killing Carrillo point blank

• The anecdote his mother recalls about Pablo being the man of the house by age 7 or 8.

There are a TON of events that took place in Season 1 and 2 that I'd like to know are factual. There are a lot of events that you know are factual because they show the actual footage in the show but I'd love to know about the more nuanced things.

I would also love some suggestions for reading. Books, articles, or anything you have that will give me a more in-depth look into Escobar's life would be helpful.

I have other questions but for now, in a nutshell, they are, how accurate/factual are the events surrounding Pablo depicted in Narcos? And where can I learn more about Pablo's personal life?

I hope this not too scattered as I am really interested to know what you all have to add to this discussion. Take care.
