This is basically a straight, solid action type show, although it's not going to win any awards. It's a narco soap opera, with a little bit of something for everyone. CIA spy missions, narco gangland wars, and romantic entanglements, check check check. The acting is decent and the storyline is fine, albeit a bit convoluted and with some frustratingly stupid decision making.
I was very impressed when I began to watch this series! I really liked it and I hope to see a second season! Guys, this worth to watch and if you like drugs, cartels and corruption, trust me, this is your tv series.
Case of Amazon liking "Narcos Mexico" so much they borrowed it. And, since they kept to the same format it's just about passable, though completely unoriginal. Was dipping into the Canadian drama, Cardinal (2017) which coincidentally also has a lady second-in-command, whose role is to secretly inform on a male Boss. Guess this sort of thing is passing for popular now. Nobody either in this one as good as 'Kiki' of Narcos Mexico. That former show takes some beating! And they could easily have changed that American Police Series opening Music to something a little more Mexican, for example some Rancheros.
I rarely write reviews but this show deserves one. It is so refreshing to watch a bilingual show done right! Must watch past the first episode, after episode two it hooks you in. The plot twists are great, the storyline is excellent. And of course it very timely. Great production! Season 2 please?!?!?
The cast are superb, especially James Purefoy..I know he's British but he speaks Spanish so well and play the character handsomely! The storyline are not boring and every episodes are pretty thrilling..Leaving you wanting for more, epecially towards few ends episode. Overall this show is pretty good for a binge watch. I hopes there will be more seasons for sure !!
