I don't know whether this is common knowledge and I am late to the party, but I am working my way through Snowfall (3 seasons, all on Iplayer) about how Crack was introduced to the US - i am really liking it.
If you like Narcos, you will like Snowfall, very similar
Except all the characters are fictional, as I'd imagine are most of the scenarios. I'm sure it's true enough to the basis of what happened, but it didn't feel real in my opinion and I gave up just before the end of the first series. John Singleton is a bit of an enigma, made one completely seminal piece of work, then the rest of his career's work makes you wonder how the hell he managed it. Damon Idris seems a decent actor, although casting a British lad to play an LA teen who incomprehensibly has a New York accent is a wierd choice. Making your own is the best way apparently.
Never get high, on your own supply.

Frank Dillaney is a much better "Brit playing a yank", as has Andrew Lincoln been too.

I know. Personally I think anyone who has made some crack probably shouldn't smoke it, maybe that's just me?

They say that if you buy crack from a dealer the quality is very variable.
If you can get good, pure or close to pure coke, it’s actually relatively easy to turn it into crack yourself and requires no specialist ingredients.
I’ve never done crack though!

I quite like Bosch on Amazon Prime
4 months later I’ve finally managed to get in to this - really enjoying it, thanks.

I had it once and didn't want any more. I might have taken too big a hit for my first time. I had to just sit down for a good 10-15 minutes feeling very lightheaded. I passed when I was offered some more and settled for coke instead.

Workaholics is back on amazon prime - would liken it to a more juvenile always Sunny. Good stupid comedy
Will Never forget the golden period of American comedy about 8-9 years ago, where you had new episodes of community, the office, parks and Rec, it’s always sunny and workaholics every week. I’m sure they weren’t all scheduled at the same time, but it felt like it. Perfectly aligned to my uni years
Came across this on Amazon and recalled someone mentioned it on here. Not sure how it will age but enjoying it so far.

3 seasons in and Workaholics and it’s my favourite thing on right now. It’s so stupidly amazing.
