Full title........................Location scout for Neflix's 'Narcos' is fatally shot while doing advance work in Mexico for the fourth season............................A location scout for the Netflix series Narcos has been fatally shot in Mexico while working on the show's fourth season.

Carlos Muñoz Portal, 37, was found dead on Monday in a violent region in central Mexico, his body riddled with bullets inside his car after an apparent chase over back country roads.

Local authorities told El Pais that they had no suspects in the case due to the lack of witnesses.

A friend of the deceased told the Spanish-language newspaper that Muñoz was out taking photographs when he was shot, and speculated that an unfamiliar man with a camera may have spooked locals in the crime-ridden area.

Good grief he was a idiot to go down there for this show. He might have gotten off lucky with his death. Most people who go against the current government/drug cartels in Mexico end up without body parts at time of death while still alive.

Guess it isnt getting safe in the resort now.

I watched the first season of Narcos. It was okay except for the extended use of subtitles which flash on so quickly that one can’t read them or they are light print on light background, thus next to impossible to read. [I hate subtitles. I know it is a movie/TV program, so subtitles should be replaced with English. If I want to read, I’ll get a book.]

Looked about 5 minutes of the second season and quit. Movies or TV series about gangs and drugs are just not that entertaining for me.

Don’t New Mexico and parts of Texas look a lot like Mexico? Why would you go down there and risk kidnapping, extortion, or murder?

That’’s realism.

Wait until cast members are killed every week, challenging tv cliches.

And maybe they’ll even include how Obama and Holder chaneled guns to narco terrorists in Mexico.

No way I would ever go there. The media hides all the murders the cartel does on a daily basis. They are always going after journalist too.

Cartel took out that lady mayor...found her body in a car if I remember correctly. Cartel hangs heads from street lamps too.

If you leave the state or country, you can avoid paying the unions.

I think cleaning up northern mexico with the military would be great live fire OJT for troops. Standing order would be to leave no one breathing.

Can’t be. There are Mexican filmmakers who only have time to make films about how bad America is.

FAILED state on our border and some don’t think we need a wall? Heck, perhaps we should leave the middle east to the maniacs and clean up our own backyard... bring order to Mexico.

The first two seasons of Narcos were just OK, but the third season is dynamite.
