The Gringo Hunters

If you love Mexican Narco world, series like Narcos or Narcos Mexico even movies like El Infierno this one is for you. The cast is superb, the script is acceptable and acting is enough convincing for a Netflix production.

First, the cast is amazing (Manuel Masalva from Narcos Mexico), for instance and several more very well know faces from similar shows or movies like El Infierno (a masterpiece).

Second, the script is too soft. Compared to Narcos or similar movies like Sicario for instance, the series is more into a soap opera level. Didn't like it. But still enjoyable.

Last, acting is not as good as other productions because of the predictable script and the most superficial characters. On the other hand, it doesn't look cheap or it does not use too much CGI, as other Netflix productions.

Anyway nothing is perfect and there is a great road of improvement just with a more twisted and risky script. The cast is there, locations are perfect. Hopefully they will do it.

Exciting new Mexican crime series developing characters as the action moves at a rapid pace, following a special force unit who track down hard criminals, mostly Americans (them gringos) who jumped over the border to avoid prosecution from their country and hide out in Tijuana. The makers of this series are also not afraid to tackle issues in their own backyard - mainly corruption - as a local billionaire wants to turn Tijuana into a Los Vegas with the help of some wealthy yanks. Hard hitting without the over-the-top telenovela dross (but it does come close in certain parts), and also fascinating to see what is occurring on the other side of that imaginary Wall...

Forced scenarios. Highly trained professional team that comes off as untrained, unprofessional and many times incompetent. The autistic lady can hunt down criminals with a few key strokes and intense staring at the computer screen, amazing talent. The go into shootouts with back ups or body armor, we'll trained right... The screen writer's must be high school drama students. The dialog is nonsensical and not anything real law enforcement professionals would say.

5 August 2025. It is a excellent series with a talented Mexican cast. It's about time to see U. S American born criminals who escape the law and flee to other countries and how they live and survive. Usually, there are films or t.v shows about foreigners sneaking into U. S. A. I hope this series get renewed for at least 3 more years. Two Thumbs up.

After Narcos, it had been a long time since I watched a Mexican series that truly captivated me like this. Gringo Hunters is absolutely exceptional. The storytelling is sharp and intense, and every single performance is nothing short of impressive. Each actor fully embodies their character, creating a gripping atmosphere that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the very first episode to the last.

It's rare to find a show where the writing, direction, and acting all align so perfectly, but this one delivers on all fronts. Every detail feels deliberate, the tension is masterfully built, and the emotional depth of the characters makes it impossible to look away.

Five stars feel like too little for what this series achieves. I sincerely hope they continue with more seasons, because this is a story and a cast that deserve to go even further. Truly one of the best shows I've seen in years, highly, highly recommended.
