Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's elaborate, corruption-fueled prison escape has captivated the world this week, but Netflix's Narcos is here to remind us of the original drug lord, Pablo Escobar. The streaming service released the first trailer today for its new series following the U.S. and Colombian governments' efforts to fight Escobar and his Medellin cartel in the '80s. Sadly, Adrien Grenier​ isn't playing El Doctor, but Wagner Moura is holding it down in the starring role.

Look out for Narcos on Netflix Aug. 28.
