‘The Gringo Hunters’ Netflix Review: Mexico’s Scathing Critique Of USA’s Illegal Immigrants
Image
Just because somebody is an undocumented immigrant doesn’t mean they are a criminal; let’s get that straight first. Criminals are criminals regardless of what they look like or where they are from. Countries that have anti-immigration policies are infamous for protecting criminals who have been born and brought up there. If an immigrant is upper class, White, and is benefiting capitalists and politicians, then they’ll be “naturalized” and given access to all the benefits that those who are native (that’s a stretch when it comes to the USA) to the land get. If an immigrant is from the lower class and has a high melanin count, they are treated like garbage and paid peanuts, even though they are the backbone of the society; the process of “naturalization,” or attaining citizenship, is a pipe dream for them.

The Gringo Hunters Release Date Update: When & Where To Stream This Mexican Crime Thriller Series?
Image
When & Where Is The Gringo Hunters Releasing?(Photo Credit –Netflix)

The Gringo Hunters is a new crime thriller series that offers something different from the usual. While most thrillers focus on the U.S. chasing fugitives, this show flips the script. It tells the story of a real police unit in Mexico whose only job is to find and bring back American criminals hiding across the border.

Yes, you read it right. These Gringo Hunters are the federal police of Mexico, and the assignment sounds about as intense as it is placed. With fugitives trying to disappear into cities like Tijuana or Mexico City, the pressure’s on. This unit doesn’t just hunt them—they catch them, making sure justice is served.

When & Where To Watch The Gringo Hunters?

All set to be released on Netflix on July 9, 2025, this series will offer something fresh to entertain crime drama lovers.

Say what you want about Ryan Murphy, but he always seems to be thinking about the best way to make his television empire thrive. Before today, there was no indication that his popular procedural series 9-1-1 and his newest endeavor, Doctor Odyssey, shared a universe, but that's all set to change as the worlds of his two ABC series are about to collide.

Doctor Odyssey focuses on a different themed cruise in each episode, and this particular crossover event will take place during Casino Week on the ship, which will see Bassett's Athena suspecting two passengers of trying to Ocean's 11 the ship's vault.

Yep, her name is Pattie Mallette and she's now got an executive producer credit under her belt for the short anti-abortion flick "Crescendo."

She and production company Movie to Movement will be screening the flick on Feb. 28 at 100 different locations - with appearances by Mallette expected at some - and proceeds will go to crisis pregnancy centers, which have proven to be quite controversial in recent years.
