The Gringo Hunters Review: Strong Characters Lost in a Fractured Plot
Image
For decades, American television has presented a familiar story: determined U.S. agents venturing into Mexico to pursue criminals. The Gringo Hunters takes that well-worn template and turns it on its head. Set in Tijuana, the series follows the International Liaison Unit, an elite Mexican police squad whose specialty is tracking and deporting American fugitives who have fled south to escape justice.

This is not just a clever narrative inversion; it is a premise grounded in the real world, drawn from a 2022 Washington Post article that documented the work of the actual unit. The show quickly establishes its procedural rhythm, but that foundation is shattered by a single event: the murder of the unit’s respected commander, Temo.

His death pulls the series out of a simple case-of-the-week format and plunges his protégé, Nico, into a conspiracy that official channels want left undisturbed. The central question shifts from “Who are they hunting this week?...

Narcos: Mexico Actor Manuel Masalva in Coma After Infection Abroad
Manuel Masalva
Manuel Masalva, known for portraying Ramón Arellano Félix in Narcos: Mexico, is hospitalized in Dubai and remains in a medically induced coma after contracting a severe bacterial infection while traveling in the Philippines.

The infection was described as “very aggressive” by his manager, Jaime Jaramillo Espinosa, CEO of Jim Management, who confirmed Masalva’s condition as critical but stable. In late March, doctors discovered the bacteria had reached his lungs, prompting emergency surgery. He is currently being treated with antibiotics and has shown signs of response, according to Espinosa.

Masalva is receiving care outside his home country. As a result, his family and close friends have sought financial assistance to manage rising medical costs. Actor Mario Morán, a longtime friend, shared an emotional appeal through Instagram, asking for donations to a GoFundMe campaign set up for the family.

“My brother is fighting for his life far from home,” Morán said in Spanish.

Narcos: Mexico (2018)
Netflix Announces Fate of Narcos: Mexico
Narcos: Mexico (2018)
Netflix is keeping Narcos: Mexico around.

The streamer has confirmed that a third season has been ordered, almost nine months after the sophomore run dropped.

There will be some changes behind-the-scenes ahead of the new season.

Series co-creator Carlo Bernard is taking over as showrunner reins from the longtime Narcos boss Eric Newman.

Newman is currently under an overall deal with the streamer on both the feature side and the television side and he will segue into overseeing a broadening Netflix slate that includes the previously announced opioid TV drama Painkiller, Escape From Spiderhead starring Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller, and The Upper World starring Daniel Kaluuya.

Newman will continue to executive produce alongside Bernard and Jose Padilha, so he will still have input on the show.

In addition, Wagner Moura, who starred as Pablo Escobar during the first two seasons of Narcos, will return to the series, directing two episodes in the new season.

“Narcos: Mexico” has been renewed for Season 3 at Netflix.

Along with the renewal, Netflix announced that Wagner Moura — who played Pablo Escobar in the first two seasons of “Narcos” — will board Season 3 in order to direct two episodes of the season.

In addition, series showrunner Eric Newman will exit that role after five seasons and turn things over to series co-creator Carlos Bernard.

“I am grateful for my five years at the helm of ‘Narcos’ and ‘Narcos: Mexico’ and am immensely proud of what this spectacular team has achieved with these shows,” Newman said. “Carlo Bernard is the first person I ever spoke to about this project, over ten years ago, and I am extremely pleased to leave the steering of Season 3 of ‘Narcos: Mexico’ in his very capable hands.”

‘Narcos: Mexico’ Renewed by Netflix for Season 3 – Carlo Bernard Takes Over as Showrunner
Narcos: Mexico (2018)
Netflix has renewed “Narcos: Mexico” for a third season, but showrunner Eric Newman is handing over the reins to Carlo Bernard.
