If you're already missing Diego Luna in Star Wars original TV shows that have come about since Disney purchased Lucasfilm, too few have been even mildly successful. Despite fans' love for the IP, a bad show is a bad show.

When a good one like Andor season 2 comes around, it should be appreciated for its quality, and with a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and general appreciation from a notoriously fickle fanbase, Andor has been welcomed with open arms. However, fans of Andor now face a problem that besets anyone who has fallen in love with a series: the post-finale blues. What are you supposed to do when your favorite series comes to an end, even for a season? Well, if you enjoyed Diego Luna as Cassian, there's another vaunted TV show that you can watch to get your fix.

Diego Luna Played A Real-Life Drug Kingpin In Narcos: Mexico

Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo Is The Father Of The Modern Mexican Drug Trade

Before Andor, Diego Luna appeared in Narcos: Mexico, a spinoff of Netflix's Narcos, which premiered in 2018. Narcos: Mexico focuses on the illegal drug trade in Mexico, rather than in Colombia, like in the original series. Luna co-stars as Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, the leader of the Guadalajara cartel. Félix begins the series as a police officer, but quickly capitalizes on his connections and information to start up a drug empire. It's Félix's paranoia, desire for power, and ruthless tactics that led to the chaotic Mexican Drug War.

No, Diego Luna Is No Longer Starring In The Scarface Remake — Is It Even Still Happening?

A Scarface remake has been in development for years, with Diego Luna set to star, but uncertainties have led to many questioning if it will happen.

Resentful, brutal, and serious about his work, Félix was different from the drug lords who came before him, who would often hide behind ideas of helping the community or doing right by their family. In contrast, Félix seemed to only care about power and wealth, infrequently ing that he had a loving family before the crimes he committed. Félix is based on the real-life "Jefe de Jefes," and it's a frightening performance by Luna, who is as detestable in his actions as he is terrifying.

Narcos: Mexico Was Almost Narcos Season 4

Narcos: Mexico was actually supposed to be Narcos season 4, a natural extension of the Colombian drug story, because there is a clear baton ing moment between those two stories. However, the creators ultimately decided to make Narcos: Mexico a companion show, set in the same universe, and that's probably for the best. While Narcos basically goes right into Narcos: Mexico, they don't share a lot of the same characters, and the setting and storyline shift dramatically.

Narcos: Mexico avoids the confusion of setting the show within the Narcos series. Otherwise, fans would likely have to self-delineate the show. It would be "season 1-3" of Narcos and then seasons "4-6" because those seasons would end up being very different from one another. Narcos: Mexico is a good way to make sure fans know they are getting a series similar in scope, style, and tone to Narcos, but that they shouldn't expect the same story as the original show.

Narcos: Mexico Is Just As Good As The Original Show

Narcos: Mexico Has A Higher RT Score Than Narcos

As one of the early original Netflix series, Narcos holds a special place in the pantheon of streaming. It was not only an excellent series, but it also showcased how Netflix was interested in competing against traditional prestige television services like HBO Max and Starz with their own line-up of acclaimed TV shows.

It's thrilling, smart, and each episode pushes the story along with a dizzying but coherent pace.

Narcos has an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and earned a Golden Globe nomination. Narcos: Mexico has a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, though it earned no nominations from major awards bodies. However, Narcos: Mexico is just as good, if not better, a show as Narcos.

	RT Critics Score	RT Audience Score	IMDB Score
Narcos (2015-2017)	89%	95%	8.7
Narcos: Mexico (2018-2021)	90%	69%	8.3

Some of the "new show" sheen had worn off Narcos: Mexico by the time it came out, so it was never discussed in the same laudatory way as the original, but there's so much to love about it. It's thrilling, smart, and each episode pushes the story along with a dizzying but coherent pace. It also features an incredible performance from Diego Luna, and those who are missing him on Andor should give this three-season series a shot.
