Netflix Narcos Scout Possibly Slain By Sicario

Netflix has a lot of pull thanks to a generation that supports the subsequent sex received after watching a few minutes of hit or miss original programming. Within 15 minutes of a “Netflix and Chill” date there’s two options laid out before you. You and your date enjoy the show so much that you both binge-watch the entire season in one sitting, silently forfeiting the sexual favors you would have received due to your amazing series selection skills. Or the show sucks so much she has to decide between leaving or backshots in order to not die from boredom. Netflix is the second runner up behind alcohol in unexpected pregnancy. And they’re seriously willing to risk it all on their original programming. Even if that means a location scout has to die so your chances of getting laid are increased by 30 percent. RIP Carlos Muñiz Portal. Bullet-riddled body found inside a car at a rural location in Mexico. 

A location manager working for the Netflix series Narcos has been killed while searching for places to film when the show moves from Colombia to Mexico for its fourth season. Carlos Muñoz Portal, 37, had worked for many years finding locations for US film and television productions working in Mexico. Netflix confirmed the death of the scout. “We are aware of the death of Carlos Muñoz Portal, a respected location manager, and offer our condolences to his relatives. The facts are still unknown as authorities continue to investigate what happened,” its statement said.

Netflix is now deciding between continuing to still film Narcos in Mexico or move back to Colombia because of a few bad hombres. Allegedly the decision to relocate filming back to Colombia would cost hundreds of jobs that it would have created in Mexico. And that’s not there only problem:

“Narcos” producers are warning Pablo Escobar‘s brother to back the hell off trying to cash in on the popular Netflix show’s name and fame … according to docs.

Lawyers for “Narcos” fired off a cease and desist letter to Roberto Escobar‘s company telling him he’s got no business filing trademark applications for “Narcos” and “Cartel Wars” because both terms are very clearly already attached to the show. “Narcos: Cartel Wars” is a popular video game.

Think of the cost of opportunity to see another side of Mexican culture. Most Americans believe Taco Bell isn’t culinary cultural appropriation. Sure it’ll give you the same shits as real Mexican food but it isn’t authentic. Now the Al Pastor cart pushing taco vendor’s opportunity at cinematic success and not just stuffing your taco has probably died along with this man. Sure he most likely would have been just an extra on the show. But it beats a 9-5 asking people if they want extra cilantro and onion for only a few pesos per day.
