Netflix are pretty reliable these days when it comes to their own original content, with the likes of House of Cards, Orange is the New Black and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt to name but a few all under their belt at this stage.

That's why it's become cause for excitement when a brand new series is on the way, and this one has certainly piqued our interest, to say the least.

Called 'Narcos', it chronicles the gripping real-life stories of the infamous drug kingpins of the late 1980s and the corroborative efforts of law enforcement to meet them head on in brutal, bloody conflict.

The series re-partners creator and executive producer José Padilha (Elite Squad, RoboCop) with acclaimed Brazilian actor Wagner Moura (Elite Squad, Elysium) as a captivating Pablo Escobar, alongside Boyd Holbrook (Gone Girl) and Pedro Pascal (!) (Game of Thrones) as real-life DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Peña.

Watch the crackin' trailer below and then just try and tell us you don't want to watch it.

All ten episodes of Narcos will premiere on August 28 at 8.01am (Irish Time), exclusively on Netflix.
