On right now if anybody's interested. He was a sick bastard, but Pablo Escobar is probably the most interesting non-American of the last 50 years. The guy came from being dirt poor to being worth $25 billion profiting mostly from Americans' excess and thirst for new highs. And he was as successful as he was because of the Robin Hood persona he acted out for his country. Not sure if there'll be another character like him again, so unlikable (he was responsible for 5,500 murders) yet so fascinating.
