About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a long, Spanish-language crime saga that digs into power, politics, and the human cost of cartel violence; Not for you if you dislike subtitles, soapier drama, or stretched pacing like some found versus Narcos or Gomorrah.

Pros: gripping rise-and-fall story; strong performances; real footage adds weight | Cons: very long run; uneven writing; melodramatic moments
