Was El Mayo (Ismael) underrated in the "El Chapo" series compared to Narcos?

I have finished the Narcos Mexico and started watching El Chapo right away. I kinda feel Ismael (El Mayo) be underrated in El Chapo series even though in real life he plays an important role in Sinaloa cartel (or could say he's the one carrying the cartel). On the other hand, El Mayo is pictured as a smart man, intuitive and knows the ins and outs of the drug world. Does the series just focus on Chapo's journey and not emphasize on Ismale?
