El Candidato

This is a solid series. It feels authentic, good acting and plot. My main gripe is the lighting. It's like on a number of occasions the lighting crew didn't turn up and the director just decided 'Well let's just not bother with light then'. Even with my tv on Dynamic and the curtains closed, I struggled to see some of these dark scenes. Hope they fix that for season 2.

Case of Amazon liking "Narcos Mexico" so much they borrowed it. And, since they kept to the same format it's just about passable, though completely unoriginal. Was dipping into the Canadian drama, Cardinal (2017) which coincidentally also has a lady second-in-command, whose role is to secretly inform on a male Boss. Guess this sort of thing is passing for popular now. Nobody either in this one as good as 'Kiki' of Narcos Mexico. That former show takes some beating! And they could easily have changed that American Police Series opening Music to something a little more Mexican, for example some Rancheros.

Episode 1 is a bit hammy in places but not the rest of the season. It is a great series, fast paced, and a well thought out plot. All the characters are intetesting. I loved it. Please make season 2.

I was very impressed when I began to watch this series! I really liked it and I hope to see a second season! Guys, this worth to watch and if you like drugs, cartels and corruption, trust me, this is your tv series.

This is basically a straight, solid action type show, although it's not going to win any awards. It's a narco soap opera, with a little bit of something for everyone. CIA spy missions, narco gangland wars, and romantic entanglements, check check check. The acting is decent and the storyline is fine, albeit a bit convoluted and with some frustratingly stupid decision making.
