Los reyes de oriente

Nothing new, just one of the many Mexican TV shows that portray the sad situation in Mexico and try to romantize it; criminal situations, teenage pregnancy, alcholism, drugs, and corrupt police departments. Also Netflix and directors seem to don't know any other place of Mexico than "Iztapalapa". God there is the State of México, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Guanajuato, life in Mexico does not involves only the city, this has become a very boring cliche already. The country lives a very dark season with criminality life and most of the topics this series show. They only proved one more time that our country is still third worldist. About the plot, there are plot holes that are not cleared further on the script and seems that they had no idea of what to do with them, and all of the characters are very erratic to the point of annoyance.

Production quality is quite good, acting is not that bad in general.

The plot is forgettable, too forced and the same as in any other boring drama series: A bad thing happens, a lot of shallow, cliché characters all each keep making the worst decisions possible so the drama keeps spiraling forward.

Everything always goes wrong. If somehow everybody manages not to screw everything up for a minute, a random bad thing happens. People continuously get dragged into the drama instead of just saying "Stop" and doing the right thing.

It's boring and by episode 5 the initial "plot" is basically over.
