I'm a Retired DEA Agent. I knew Kiki. It made me cry to watch this but I did it. Mr. Pena did a fantastic job of making Kiki 's story real. God Bless Kiki and his family. Thanks Mike,
Hey, that is amazing story! Could you tell me where did you meet him?
Maybe the DEA should stop intervening with other countries maybe Kiki would still be alive today , hunting down the big dogs of Cartels only brings violence and conflict , look how extremely dangerous Mexico became after you people put Felix Gallardo behind bars the only man that kept the violence to a minimum , then America comes along sees some free publicity they can get then goes and fucks up everything , if only y'all actually sat down and think about how much bad changes would occur when you lock up the only person that keeps violence to a minimum , maybe also sit down and think about how many countries America fucked up because of America wanting free publicity then when shit hits the fan then America tries everything they can to not be involved anymore or be less involved , America fucked over Mexico and a handful of other countries , America is the leader of disaster
Just listening to his story makes me feel so sad.
Awesome!
@@emirosmar4846 He's a retired DEA agent....
Who else binge watched every episode as soon as it dropped ?!.
Oscar Amaral yup
Lieutenant Dan don’t be mad because you’re probably Caucasian
Lieutenant Dan ahahahahha then my bad, I figured you were Lieutenant Dan ahahahhahahah
guilty
Oscar Amaral finished in 3 days. Good show, I like previous seasons better.
Started last night. Finished this morning.
Jwillson Williander how many episodes
HANDWRAPEDinDEEPWATERS 10
Started this morning finished this night
Saaaaame
First time ever watching a series on Netflix and I can say I’m glad I started with this one
Michael Peña did such an amazing job.
Ah the sarcasm he was corrupt too
@Chris M you upset he died?
Chris M huh?
Chris M assignment? Didn’t the rest of the DEA agents also bring along their families? Also it was hard to detriment the duration of those type of assignments so they would bring along their families
Determine*
When 'Pablo Escobar' shows up in Narcos Mexico, i wanted him to be in every episode, that was a powerful moment.
I think it would have taken away from the story on the Mexican narcos, best season ever imo.
His series wasn't even that good
actually, it wasn't good at all
Felt like narcos season 1 moved super slow for 10 seasons but thourghly enjoyed it. But by far Felix is my favorite antagonist hands down from the 3
Fr
I like that they finally did some justice to people like Kiki, the first two seasons where like a monument to Escobar and those guys, like they are some sort of heroes when they are not. This season gives us an idea of what real heroes do, Kiki gave his life for what he believed it was the right thing, and he outsmarted them, they just had more "muscle". In the end his story was an inspiration to those who wanted to make a difference.
gil84rs yep I really enjoyed the fact that there wasn’t this happy ending where the good guys always run Into the sunset with a parade behind them. These things don’t always end like that in real life and I really enjoyed that twist at the end.
_Chino98 well he was passionate about his job. You wish more guys like that in Kiki’s position would make such an impact that they’d go to the lengths of killing an American agent. That’s how you know they’ve made such a mark. And they really didn’t think the cartel were stupid enough to kill an American agent. That shits a death sentence
well, those 2 dea agents in the 2 seasons were doing the same thing kiki was. so i dont see your point
@@crownedmafia I think Kiki came before those guys, chronologically speaking. I feel on this season they emphasize a bit more on the good guy than the bad one(s).
And what a difference Kiki made. Not..more drugs than ever, how many states are now allowed to sell weed?. If Kiki knew the future, he wouldn't have bothered..Kiki made legends out of Chapo, Quintero, Gallardo etc.
I thought his portrayal of Kiki was amazing. Great actor. In fact, Narcos, all seasons, have turned me onto a bunch of Mexican movies and shows, due to the brilliant actors and actresses. Can not wait for season 2!!
Same bro, Narcos mexico, was the best.
Esp fact its subs only
Not really seemed very annoying and childish as an actor kiki was annoying in narcos
Like what?
So true
RIP Enrique Camarena Salazar. Loved by many and never forgotten. 💪🏽🇺🇸
Agent Camarena was assassinated by the CIA.
When Kiki came in the house at night and told the wife in a dream “you wouldn’t believe the day I had” I thought to myself, this is going to be emotional for me. Also when they found him and Jaime thought the guy kneeling was him and said “Hey” expecting gladly to see him alive and then quickly shifting to him being dead that got me there. What a switch of reality for anybody experiencing this in real life. Rip KiKi
True Literally Heart Breaking
That scene where Kiki says “you wouldn’t believe the day I had and you see his wife’s eye shoot wide realizing Kiki not actually there and didn’t come home sent chills.
Seeing chapo was very interesting in this "Narco Series"
Capacheskulls yeah specially since he almost didn’t have a lot of lines, he was more quiet and was smart, maybe he’ll be next after we finish the next season
@@9000yugioh No not yet he was nothing but a foot soldier at this time. He probably wont start taking over till season 3 or maybe the end of season 2
Most likely at the end of season 2 because he killed his boss In real life to take the throne
Is he even a known actor ? Seems like they’re going to stop once chapo steps in to become a leader and end it there
@@Randii225 If you want to see the story of Chapo there is a show on Netflix called El Chapo. It is a Spanish show but it is very good, it has 2 seasons.
Great actor, the death of Kiki was very emotional for me !
Not me, as hearless as this sounds. He put himself in that situation and knew too much about the wrong people
I am not looking forward to Kiki's ending. I haven't got that far yet, but I know what happened in real life
@@gotchabud3047 oh yeah, he should have just followed the corrupt system.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Straight Left I was thinking the same thing to be honest, I felt bad for KiKi but when you put yourself in a dangerous situation there is always a consequence that comes with it.
Tbh, if it wasn't Kiki then it would of been someone else, because of his death, Narcos couldn't touch DEA or Americans after that.
Im ready for season 2 of narcos mexico
Tony Montana me to just finished season 1 today
Crebs Park i agree it’s ridiculous
@Crebs Park Quality over quantity. I'd rather wait a year and see "Operation Leyenda" done right instead of wait a couple months and watch some shit that belongs on the USA Network.
@Crebs Park I agree it was a long wait, but keep in mind one of the producers was killed just trying to make this season happen. So that right there most likely held production up. He was killed in researching locations to film in Mexico and was believed to have been killed by organized crime members.
@@strawdawgs78 Como mierda !! I just learned that in Narcos
Funny how as much as I liked Pablo Escobar seasons I thought the Cali Cartel was better. Definitely more suspenseful throughout the episodes. Narcos Mexico really feels like it has grown up from a TV show to a film that is just split into 10 parts. The character building, story, etc. Is all done much better. When Kiki died and the news was delivered to his wife I truly felt for her. Also when Felix told his wife he didn't need her anymore that hurt me. This show is so much better than first 3 seasons in Colombia.
NOTHING beats Narcos first 2 seasons.
My friend thats because their budget grew and actually hired real well known actors
@@majinvegeta7381 except narcos mexico 😀
Yeah same, I liked the cali cartel season better than the first two but Narcos Mexico really tops them all, it's just so intense and makes you feel likes its completely real and is filmed so beautifully.
There are so many little things about it like (spoiler stop reading) when don neto is arrested and hes listening to music with blood flowing down his face like a tear from his eye. And when pablo essentially uses the hippo as an analogy when he says " get between it and something it cares about, and it will bite you in half", i.e Mexico is between columbia and the US market. Just so many things about it so beautifully done and make it emotionally intense.
I still think the Narcos Colombia was the best.
Michael man he's definitely become one of my favorite actors since I saw End of Watch. He's so underrated as an actor, Hollywood hasn't given him enough leading or at least second leading roles as much as he deserves tbh. He's such an amazing actor, he deserves to be seen more on screen.
LupitaSin21 100% with you on End of Watch. That was one of the best fucking movies I’ve seen ever man. Totally didn’t expect it to be as captivating as it was.
hollywood is very racist towards Mexicans or Mestizo/brown indigenous people. They never cast them.
Walks with Reed they do but rarely in a leading serious role, they’re usually cast as the stereotypical Mexican or the goofy side character
@@diegoortiz8004 exactly.
@@diegoortiz8004 it's not just movies and tv....mexican-americans in USA media are always under-represented even in things depicting places like Los Angeles....where like almost half the population is Mexican-American or Central American. Like GTA V.....they have three characters and not one is Mexican-American, very unrealistic.
I was hesitant to watch this season as I felt there was no way this story would be played well, but Pena did such an amazing job, all the cast blew my mind, especially Rafa. Best narcos yet, such great acting and writing!
Can we take a moment and appreciate Michael Pena's skills and talent as an actor. He also seems to be a pretty grounded person.
Watched all 4 seasons in a week . Now I'm like Rafa going cold turkey.
:) LOL
4 seasons? nigga there’s only 2
Mattheww omfg
@@MateoLiveBett you are not true narco fans
nathan neo there’s more 😂
I think the best part of the show is when Félix is talking too Kiki and Kiki says I ain’t getting out alive in Spanish then in English says you fucked up bro made me laugh in saddens and in happiness like he knew what would happen
I cried when KIKI Died
HE LOOKS LIKE MARK RUFFALO!!
I loved the part Michael Pena played. He played it with passion, and he made us believe, that Kiki, only just wanted to do right. I was so sad, to see it end the way it did.
Michael Pena was awesome in Narcos
I was sooo mad Kiki died, I was like why tf they let him die?! but then reminded myself this is a true story so.. yeah the emotions of madness turned to sadness. So it was a lose lose situation. Fml lol
MICHAEL PENHA !!! He can do anything I have not seen a bad performance from him AWESOME MICHAEL !
Peña
Ehh he's had a few crap movies.. don't exaggerate
That Scene when they found Keke's body at the back of a Ranch really made me cry :( It was very moving, and Sad too on how it ended that way. Amazing job for all the actors, It was a great series.
I cannot believe how good of an actor he is, I couldn't stop watching the show, finished it all in 2days
Michael Peña has come a long way since I first saw him in Observe and Report years ago. Glad he's getting the attention he deserves. Hell of an actor.
Michael Pena seems like such a down to earth person. He did a great job in this! Happy for him.
This guy is an amazing actor. I’m so happy for his success in this role.
I see a lot of Colombian, trying to say that the narcos colombia series was better, but the truth is that I only saw the first season and I was falling asleep, and that's why I did not want to see narcos mexico, but when I started to look at Narcos Mexico since the first chapter I loved it, I need the second season NOW.
For sure narcos México its the best season!
Mexico narcos is better because it’s still going on today
Colombia is much better. Wtf.
Instant Karma it was good but not as good as narcos Mexico
@@kevinsaldivar4276 Colombian swag all day baby🔥
Michael, you did a phenomenal job. You are such an amazing actor. And your passion really shines through. Great job!
I'm learning Spanish fast in this series. "Coma mierda" and "Hijo de puta" !!
Juan Dela Cruz vamanos !!
Pendejo
Si patron

@@boutabagjonathan4156 importa tu idioma idiota
im so shocked i barely started watching narcos two weeks ago, this series is everything , hands down the best damn thing ive ever seen .... kikis death hurt my soul so much , especially when he told felix he knew he wouldnt survive . But narcos szn 3 in my opinion was the most thrilling . jorge sacado was brilliant
"just watch the first 3 in a day"
I tried. I really did Kiki! but ended up with watching the first 6 episodes
Already looking forward to Mexico S2
Props to the interviewer for the quality questions and depth + room to them for Peña to open up
Amo a este actor, Increíble su actuación
I grew up around this in the 80’s and 90’s less than 30 minutes from the border. My father knew Kiki personally and was on the DEA task force. Caro Q was a household name at my dinner table with two undercover detectives as parents. I remember the day Kiki was found dead, sad sad day. All that said, after ten years military, multiple tours to Afghanistan, poppy eradication as a private contractor, I played my part, but marijuana is the best thing to happen to my PTSD and depression from losing friends over bullshit. Sometimes I think I feel guilty given how I grew up, but weed has made a difference in how I sleep at night compared to the cocktails the VA was trying to pour down my throat. Kiki was a hero for his time, little did we know of the medicinal aspects of a plant, we only knew it as wrong because Nancy said so
RIP Sr. Kiki Camarena.
TRUE AMERICAN HERO!
I just seen it first time last weekend I was glued watched both Narcos Mexican n Colombia in 4days
Anybody else surprised by the good level of interviews that the channel Al Arabiya are having? Have seen like 3 other interviews by them and all of them are so professional!
The scene where he finally meets MAFG was electric.
Amazing actor, Mike was perfect in the role, very tragic the way Kiki was eventually found dead
Michael you did a great job bud...Very much enjoyed this season and looking forward to more.
Finally finished whole season last night. It was amazing. Highly, highly recommend!!!!!!
I finished it in two days and started watching it again yesterday night lol
It was amazing. Binge watched it in 2 days. If Netflix is watching this. We need a Narcos Afghanistan now after Narcos Mexico Season 2. The entire poppy and heroin trade that funded terrorism and America's reaction with the Global War on Terror.
Ashutosh Sharma nice idea 💡. Maybe that’s the route they are going for other seasons in the future. Or maybe even spin offs.
Ashutosh Sharma that would be amazing. I wonder if it would still be called Narcos or if they’d use another term for the show.
That will never happen for a couple of reasons : most of the biggest drug kingpins are from latin america . 2 the word narcos is spanish it wouldn’t fit with that all . 3 i dont think people would like that and 4 There main plot is terrorism they’re not drug kingpins
@@xusez9695 Are you kidding me? Afghanistan is the largest poppy and weed producer in the world. Poppy produced in Afghanistan even reaches the US as heroin. Everyone has their hands on it. The Russians, Americans, Paks. And with the dismantling of drug cartels in Latin America, the lawless lands of Afghanistan and Northwestern Pakistan are a perfect catalyst for the drug trade there with the Taliban and the ISI being the biggest drug kingpins and supporting terrorists all across the world.
Ashutosh Sharma yeah but no one will watch it...
A huge respect for Kiki. and all the honest service person on earth, huge thumps up.
absolutley amazing show. every episode is godfather level
I love Michael Pena. I think he's nuts (bc of his scientology) but I love his acting.
He's always given me this weird vibe, makes sense now that I know he's into scientology.
This narcos was better than the pablo escobar one simply cause alot of these king pins were all well known in mexico and you can actually find out alot of information by talking to older mexican people
I don’t think this season is necessarily better just because Mexicans can relate to it more. Pablo Escobar was such a psychopathic cruel individual, and his outrageous actions held a whole country hostage. Narcos: Mexico was more about an incredibly corrupt government that was complicit with the drug trafficking. The scary part was that even Miguel Gallardo had to answer to somebody else. While Escobar did whatever he wanted.
Pablos series from narcos is not a good one you need to see “El patron del mal “
@@ALWAYSTHINK4YOURSELF Pablo would've lasted much longer if he was more level headed like Gallardo
@@ALWAYSTHINK4YOURSELF nah Escobar had the CIA to answer to
@@aleybian14 el patron del mal is more like a fuckin novela
Narcos mas wayyyyyy better
Wagners interpretation was badass
I was glued to it. seeing Pablo & the Cali Cartel was crazy!!!
EXCELLENT season!!!!!! Absolutely loved it!!!
My mother is a Camarena and remembers KIKi as a little girl when visiting her grandmother. Rest in peace KiKi this has been emotional for our family.
Skindawg Manson stop lying
My grandma is Kiki camarenas cousin
And he was my father's, brother's, nephew's, cousin's, former roommate.
Am in love with the show narcos best series in Netflix
Just finished watching this! Amazing!
One of greatest performances
one of the best moments in narcos was the reveal of el chapo and the pablo escobar crossover
Finished it , in one day...lol really good show...
Michael Pena is a brilliant actor but my goodness what an amazing show this is!
Took me 3 days to watch the whole series and I cannot wait for the next season! It is so good!
so when is the season coming....CIA Narcos. The biggest global cartel - US Govt.
MrSangos123 will never happen. They gagged “el Barbie” when he was about to drop cia handler names. No cameras allowed in a room with him
We should offer protection for this man and his brave comment.
MrSangos123 your ip has been traced :) keep talking tough guy. we'll see how far it gets you.
Good question and since some DEA agents worked for El Chapo, I wonder how they will cope with it
Watch “American Made” with Tom Cruise. It’s not the most accurate movie, but it gives some good insight to CIA involvement.
I watched it in one day !!!! love narcos mexico!!!
I’m waiting for the next seasons. Narcos Mexico has so much ahead of it because Mexico has so much story to it.
Finished the series last night. Very good brung memories I remembered when it happened
Seeing young El chapo and the brothers of Tijuana were crazy.. if you know the Cartel history of Mexico.
Narcos makes black gangstas look like amatures
Finessaaar t fucK tintos
@@Exotic.Harbor im sorry I meant africaryan Americans
Cause they are amateurs
Her Antidote that’s because they’re a bunch of uneducated pieces of shits.
Wow nice casual racism guys.
Started Sunday morning finish Sunday night SO GOOD
Can’t wait for season two
Finished it in a day with no breaks ;)
I watched it in less then 24hrs 😂 with snacks I was prepared!
Thanks for the video
Pena is blowing up as a actor . Turning into a big fan of his work.
Rip kiki, really attached to that man's story and dedication to the DEA
Agent Camarena initiated an investigation to see where so much drugs came from, investigated the origin of the money, realized a dark truth, the government of his country was involved in the drug trafficking business, (The CIA sold and distributed drugs in the United States. With the money, the CIA financed the wars in Central America) having compromising information in their possession, they assassinated him.
I watched it in a day
Damn cant stop it once first episode I watch it then again and again until it finished on two days! And still wanted to watch the next season
My favourite actor!
Kiki is hero an example to all Hispanics ,Latinos here in the United States
izum fuck 12
no way kiki was working USA biggest gang he was no hero
@@amastal1 what gang?? You're confused my friend
Fuck rattas
izum tell me whats DEA they are biggest gang sponsor by USA Gov they are biggest cartel
Narcos better than all these "superhero" movies that come out monthly.
Amazing season! Especially to watch Season 1 immediately after Narcos Mexico finishes.
Excellent work. Amazing show
who had a completely different perspective of him after watching ant man
I didn't see "Kiki" only Cesar Chavez LOL
dude this was actually a great interview, interesting questions man!
My lord michael Peña you are tender i Will never forget to see this serie narcos Mexico.
I loved both narcos Mexico and the other narcos, but tbh watching narcos and hearing Mexican Spanish instead of Colombian Spanish’s was kinda weird lol
I’m calling it season 6 will be about El Chapo he was all over season 4 lol
Dakota Kelchlin would make a very good season
Dakota Kelchlin it’s gonna be about capturing Felix I think. They’ll transition into Chapo near the end probably. Gotta make the show last lol
the scavenger nop they still have to talk about El senor de los cielos, los hermanos beltran leyva, los arellano feliz, la reyna del pacifico, y otros
Jose Alberto oh shiiit that will be awesome season per bad guy even... maybe excessive but something like that! Lord of the Skies is my favourite
Christian Perez you kidding? He’s in almost every episode if not every episode after that.
The first three episodes were really amazing.
Just finished the series. Love this show
This guy is the mexican Hulk version LOL
He should have asked help from Antman and the Avengers...😅
Excelentes actores y realismo
Felicidades
I watched it two days. It was great. Waiting on season two. 👍
Well what's interesting ..Miguel angel felix gallardo, Ernesto Fonseca, And Rafael caro quintero never been sent to the United States. ...2 still alive and Rafael caro quintero got realesed. .now wanted again 20 million dollar bounty
Atleast they didnt end up like chapo.
@@c-matikmusik2169 - well that's because these guys where there....before Chapo...all of all these gentleman. ..Pedro Aviles is one of my favorite Corriodos...without knowing what's up
Well Guadalajara cartel was the first ever cartel. War of drugs started after they got fucked
@@isoccerpluse you are right
El chapo went to war with everyone
this was a hard season to watch because you know how it ends..."He was our Jesus Christ"? "He died to save us all"
Michael Pena is one of my favorite actors. He has amazing range. Idk if he even gets enough credit tbh.
I felt so sad about Kiki. I usually don’t watch this kind of tv series “ Narco series” are just horrible, but I just saw an interview of from this very well known journalist Anabel Hernández, to Caro Quintero. I got into it and started watching Narcos . I felt so sad about Kiki because I knew how it was gonna end. The saddest part is to know that he died in pain. A long painful death, in which he was viciously tortured for around 30 hrs. My heart broke really for his wife and children. 😢
“ don’t ruin it for people”
Said he gets tortured and died 🤣
4 dislikes are from the DEA. 😁😁😁😁
I love Narcos, loved Pablos character then this made me love it even more such a great series.
Seeing Kiki, gallardo, pacho, chepe, miequel, chapito and then pablo was just amazing. The Connection they created was just amazing.
