Drug Lords

Over the course of Season One, we’ll delve into the sordid histories and bloody reigns of some of the most notoriously driven, twisted, and sadistic drug lords the world has ever seen. From cartel leaders with global reach, like Colombia’s Pablo Escobar and his Medellín empire’s nearly 20-year stranglehold on the world’s cocaine market, to homespun evil geniuses like Cornell Jones and his dubious invention of Washington, DC’s “open-air” drug market, DRUG LORDS will span the world to tell the tales of the king and queenpins who peddled death to the people and reaped enormous rewards. But what goes up, must come down: every hour will track our anti-heroes’ Shakespearean trajectory as we watch them rise from rags-to-riches, and then descend into despair, prison or worse...death.
