I know your post was meant to discuss the necessity of the cold color grading. But if you don't like it there is an easy way to "bend" the colors back to a warmer, natural look – at least if you watch it on a pc or laptop screen: https://justgetflux.com/ (ofc you can tweak tv settings too, create a customized color temperature setting)
For those that don't know the software: It changes the color temperature of your screen according to the time of day. You probably have noticed that your screen looks too blueish/cold when you turn on your lights in the evening/night. Warm light sources (yellow-orange) shift your perception of the "color" white and most monitors do not automatically adjust to that. If you manually change the color temperature of your screen with f.lux you can (temporarily) counteract the cold color grading. Hope i didn't overexplain everything :-)
I know this is just a dirty hack and the only way to really get a more natural look would be to change the color grading in a professional video tool. Would be fun to rebalance the colors in Premiere or After Effects, i might try it out when i'm finished. The result could look like this: https://i.imgur.com/O11yCyp.jpg
Found another solution – you can use the mpv video player and load a custom ICC profile. ICC profiles are used to calibrate screen colors (and other things too). You could just load a profile that shifts the colors to a more warmer look. But you would have to set the arguments for loading the icc profile in the command line/terminal.
Unfortunately i haven't found anything useful for VLC player, Quicktime or Windows Media Player. I wonder why no one has implemented a simple color temperature slider or an option to set a specific white balance... Probably needs too much processing power and could slow down playblack.
Would love to "re-color grade" (would keep the cold look, but not that strong) all the episodes to a more natural look but i'm sure you will already be through with Season 1 until i'm done :-)
Here is a sight I use. (https://tastedive.com/). Go to TV SHOWS and at the top enter your tv show (example: Better Call Saul) and it will show you trending recommendations. If you liked "Better Call Saul" maybe try...Fargo, Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot, True Detective, House of Cards...the list goes on and on. You get the idea.
Cartels ARE capitalism. If you know anything about cartels, you’d know that money(capital) is the most important thing. Drugs are simply a way to accrue money. They also dabble in arms dealing, human trafficking, as well as agriculture, textiles, and a myriad of legitimate industries. Cartel organizations irl are run less like they are in ozark and more like walmart. There are [books](www.amazon.com/dp/1610395832/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_RERA8T3T0YFG9EPSZK16) on the subject if you’d rather not take my word for it.
This is a great memory. I vividly recall the news coming out of Juarez in the 90s. There is a Mexican journalist who wrote about the women of Juarez who were getting abducted, raped and murdered by the hundreds every year. I read the book and formed a harsh opinion of Mexico. I could not believe the lack of response to these murders. I vowed never to go. I broke that vow this year. The people we met were nice and the experience was a good one. I still worry about the conditions I read about in Juarez, though. https://www.amazon.com/Daughters-Juarez-Serial-Murder-Border-ebook/dp/B000OVLIJW
The season three finale while in bed he is reading a book with an orange and white cover. Solaris by Stanislaw Lem

He's usually reading quite often, and mentions Ray Bradbury specifically more than once, so it could be a different scene/book you're referring to
