  Switching gears to a documentary format, Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami revisits the explosion of the cocaine trade in Miami during the 1980s. This series focuses on Sal Magluta and Willy Falcon, childhood friends who became two of the biggest drug kingpins in the city's history. Told through interviews with law enforcement, defense attorneys, and even some associates, it offers a firsthand account of the scale of their operation and the wild, often violent, era they dominated. It's a fascinating, non-fiction look at a specific, extravagant chapter in the history of drug trafficking in the US.
