Criminals always have to hide their illicit goods, but these devious crooks take it to the next level. From ruthless drug traffickers like Pablo Escobar and Frank Lucas to a New York scam artist, these cold-blooded masterminds have one thing in common: they make all traces of their crimes disappear.

If you're a fan of alcohol and tobacco, then this is the show for you. Our cast of comedians will get you hooked on the illicit habits, weird addictions, and freaky sexual peccadilloes enjoyed by some of history's biggest figures. Discover which drug gave Freud unprincipled pleasure, whether Churchill was ever sober, and what kind of wood the table in Catherine the Great's secret sex lair was made out of. Hint: It wasn't teak.

Pablo Escobar was Colombia's king of cocaine, a man his own government was afraid to touch. But he also violated the dead, set fire to millions in cash to keep warm, and actually helped the U.S. hunt down Osama Bin Laden.

From the early cave dwellers who first stumbled upon psychedelic mushrooms to the over 6,000-year-old tradition of opium cultivation in the East to a modern pharmaceutical industry with over 24,000 drugs on the market, drugs have played a role in our lives since well before recorded human history. Explore the reasons we've used drugs through the ages, while considering the devastating consequences that accompany the choice to use certain drugs. This fascinating, fresh, and insightful documentary will ask the question: overall, have drugs done more to help us or hurt us? Host Dean Norris will journey through the millennia and look in on the greatest civilizations in human history to discover if drugs helped these societies flourish or fail and whether drug use was holy or hedonistic, a savior or a curse?

In the 1970s, the Colombian cocaine trade is wide open. Hundreds of small-time smugglers compete for control of the lucrative new racket. But a petty thief will soon rise to become the most powerful criminal in history, unleashing a bloody reign of terror to create the first global drug cartel, and become the first billionaire kingpin of the 20th century.

In the 1990s, three violent cartels battle for control of the Mexican drug world. But one brutally ambitious Narco will rise above the rest to create one unified cartel, and become the most powerful criminal in Mexico's history.
