It's never dull, it's never slow and ALWAYS compelling and interesting. There rarely (if ever) is a bad or boring episode. I may have to figure out which other show to bump off my "all-time top-5" list.
I think Mexico has the potential to be even better. The problem is Pedro Pascal doesn't know if he will be back, and it's tough to maintain momentum if you swap out lead characters every year or two. I don't think S3 introduced any new DEA to carry the torch. Maybe Pena's partner in S1&S2 was "re-assigned" to Mexico and they could go back to him to maintain some continuity.

Yeah it's a great show. I think I like 1 & 2 better, but that is because of the characters in it, though I thought season 3 was more historically accurate overall. Characters like Poison & the Colonel were fictional, but showed what lengths both sides did. But in season 3 pretty much most of that happened like they showed, like the security guy and the accountant.
Also did you notice in the last episode of season 2 at the bar, where Pena was at when Pablo was killed, the real Murphy and Pena were sitting there. It was a quick scene, but they did a cheer with their beer glasses. Pretty cool they gave them a brief cameo.
