I've watched all three seasons now and enjoyed the story arc and acting. It's a little difficult to understand how a person responsible for as much death and dependency can be revered as well, but this is the case for many of the "lords" in this and Narcos.
The giant flaw is attributing the government's support of El Chapo to the fictional character of Conrado Sol and also making his fatal flaw his secret homosexuality and liaisons. If it were true, then it would be acceptable to depict this, but this whole plotline introduces an enormously false refrain into the story, the dysfunctionality of Mexico and its government, and the international drug war in general. It would have been far, far better to have depicted the real complexity of issues within the government than to pin the entire tale on this sad donkey of a subplot.
Nonetheless, it is an enjoyable show.
