What happened to the American DEA agents that triggered this massacre? What a tragic situation!

Normally, I get really tough on bad movies or shoes and I get giddy over a good movie. Mainly, its over insignificant and subjective reactions while I'm constantly checking on my phone.

Since this was in spoken Spanish I had to read the subtitles and got sucked in right away. It's not Narcos which is more action and gripping action. This series taps into your soul and tests your faith in humanity.

At first I chuckled at the amateurish acting but once I got a sense what was coming I was appreciating the actors and direction much more.

I knew nothing about the Allende story and was blown away at what happened. I read the article that detailed the events and just shook my head.

10 stars for shedding light on this. Well done!

Leaves you shocked, when you realise that this is in fact not fiction.. but a depiction of a horrendous event.

This series was very good,although some acting was quite poor,especially the Americans, you will forget it all due to the ending which is one of the most horrific I've ever seen...truly saddening but a must see.

This series portrays the events leading up to the Zeta Cartel's over the top revenge killings in the Mexican border town of Allende, Mexico in March of 2011. The first several episodes set the stage for the events and some of the people that were involved and affected by those events.

With no prior knowledge of this tragedy, I was curious if possibly some of the scenes were sensationalized for dramatic effect. However, after I read the detailed ProPublica article which is easily found online, it includes, witness accounts, confessions, phone transcripts, etc. So that you quickly realize it is a very accurate telling of events.

The series held my interest from the beginning. Some reviews found the pacing a little slow until the final episode, but for me it was interesting getting a sense for the culture in a small Mexican border town and necessary for the audience to become invested in the people that were affected by these events. I felt the acting was convincing and really helped make the characters believable and interesting. Definitely a worthwhile watch in my book and a 7 rating equals "very good" in my view of how ratings should work.
