Drug Lords

This docuseries shines a light on some of the most notorious drug kingpins in history and the law-enforcement officials who have sworn to bring them down. While the show profiles cartel leaders with global reach – including infamous Pablo Escobar and his nearly 20-year stranglehold on the world's cocaine market – it also takes a look at drug lords with a lower profile, such as Cornell Jones, who helped to create America's first "open-air" drug market in Washington, D.C., in the 1980s. The episodes track the criminals" stories, which often include them descending into despair, prison or even death.
