When seeking the "complete series" on the life of Pablo Escobar, the most comprehensive and faithful adaptation is the Colombian telenovela Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal (English title: Pablo Escobar, The Boss of Evil ). Produced by Caracol Televisión, this 74-episode series is not a glamorized action flick but a detailed, journalistic-style docudrama based on the book La Parábola de Pablo by Alonso Salazar.
