Hotel Cocaine
Tells the story of Roman Compte, Cuban exile, CIA operative, and general manager of the Hotel Mutiny, the glamorous epicenter of the late '70s and early '80s Miami cocaine scene.
Roman Compte, general manager of Miami's wildly-popular Mutiny Club, is forced by the DEA to spy on his estranged older brother Nestor Cabal, the city's biggest importer of cocaine.
Nestor rallies Roman to attempt a daring rescue of his right-hand man Chucho from a local hospital; if Chucho wakes up from his coma, he'll reveal Roman's secrets.
Roman spies on a Colombian guest at The Mutiny and uncovers a plot to kill Nestor and other prominent cocaine distributors, which would allow a dangerous new Colombian cartel to take over Miami.
After a failed assassination attempt, Yolanda Guerra arrives from Colombia to take matters into her own hands; when she discovers that Roman saved Nestor's life, the Colombians target Roman's family.
Roman moves his family to the safety of Nestor's mansion and they use a peace meeting with Yolanda and Don Henao as an opportunity to take them out and end the Colombian threat.
Roman and Nestor are at the edge of a bloody war with the Colombians and accept help from a corrupt Congressman to secure the import of the biggest shipment of coke to ever hit Miami's shores.
Roman seeks owner Burton Greenberg's help with a landing spot for the cocaine; Zulio works with a corrupt banker to return Henao and Yolanda to the negotiating table; Nestor reveals a secret.
Roman and Nestor appeal to Agent Zulio for help getting Valeria back; when the biggest coke shipment of all time arrives in Miami, they turn to an old friend for help.

My quick rating - 7.0/10. Tells the story of Roman Compte (Danny Pino), Cuban exile, CIA operative, and general manager of the Hotel Mutiny, the glamorous epicenter of the late '70s and early '80s Miami cocaine scene. Roman also happens to be the long-lost brother of Nestor Cabal (Yul Vazquez) who happens to be THE Cuban cocaine kingpin of Miami. This inconvenient little family relation leads to the DEA forcing Roman to do whatever it takes to get dirt on his brother, and any other drug dealers who might happen to turn up. The series is a well-written piece that does a good job capturing the time frame's mood and energy. Or how I would assume it was, I was a bit young to really know. The shots are well-directed and each episode does its job keeping you interested in how it all turns out. The cast also turns in the performances to make it worth your time especially Michael Chiklis who makes sure you hate him and then realize everyone is being commanded by someone higher up. Still, his character and portrayal are convincing enough to make sure you despise him either way. And Mark Feuerstein nails the coked-up owner of the club and has some of the comedic moments that a show like this needed. After I binged through this one quite quickly I figured that last episode would wrap everything up in a nice little bow but to my surprise, not only did it finish the story in its 8th episode but also found a way to lead into a potential second season. It might be hard to find but it is worth it if you are interested in this genre and material. Bonus that the title song is so damn catchy you'll find yourself not skipping the credits even if Plex gives you the option to.
