How to interest people with the show
after the death of the main character?
After Pablo Escobar death in season 2 of Narcos, who was the main character of the series (sorry, for the spoiler!), there were some concerns of how to promote season 3 which focused mostly on Cali Cartel (Mexican Cartel). What’s more, how to be locally relevant in the topic of drug trafficking.
The solution was to compare Cali Cartel achievements to Polish mafia and create educational story around Polish history form the 90s. One of the biggest gang affairs of those times was alcohol affair with huge illegal import of alcohol to Poland. People involved in illegal alcohol business derived from Polish government, Polish special forces etc. This was the beginning of Polish gang environment, which compared to Cali Cartel was unimpressive.
