TV | Just in time for school to start, there's about to be another addictive Netflix Original Series release. NARCOS is anticipated by critics to be the next Breaking Bad, but even more gripping. The gangster drama series follows two DEA agents on a mission to bring down the infamous 1980s Colombian cocaine lord Pablo Escobar. The story alternates between the points of view of Escobar and DEA agent Steve Murphy, played by Boyd Holbrook (known for Gone Girl, Run All Night and Milk). The 10-episode first season of Narcos will be available for streaming on Aug. 28.

Over the past six months, FELINES OF NEW YORK (@felinesofny) has documented the lives of cats in the Big Apple, from fancy felines in top-floor flats to shifty alley cats hunting for scraps. But it's not just another silly cat account — the quirky captions that personify each cat are what makes it worth a follow.
