Next, I am annoyed with shows that portray the Bad Guys as having almost superhuman abilities and knowledge. On the flip side, I also find it difficult to believe that there are people in Tijuana who don't speak or understand English, when the city is the "tourism capital of Mexico". Someone noted that border agents at the Canadian border probably don't speak French, but English is the dominant language of Canada, so the situation isn't really comparable. First off, I find it hard to believe that a border agent at the California-Mexico border would not speak or understand Spanish. But I have some quibbles with elements of the script. It looks really good, and the cast is decent. If you're looking for six episodes of thoughtful high-quality premium television, then just watch the show. Did you like Breaking Bad? Watch this show. The shows has some inconsistent moments, but episode 5 is one of the best episodes of TV I've seen in a while, and the show ultimately sets itself up for a fantastic season 2. The show is a star vehicle for newcomers Emy Mena and George Pullar, introduces otherwise ignorant American audiences to Mexican and Colombian stars like Adriana Paz and Juan Pablo Raba, and of course, Michael Chiklis continues to cement his legacy as one of TV's best. Is it perfect? No, but its excellent performances give voice to many perspectives and start a real conversation. It's also a rarity on American TV these days: a nuanced, human portrayal of a complex, divisive issue. I just started it to check it out, and before I knew it - I was at the end of episode 2! This show is excellently paced, with action, heart, and wry comedy throughout. This show has so much to offer - just turn it on. It seems like trolling TV has replaced watching it as America's favorite pass-time.
I won't be seeing any more of this, and am sorry I wasted my time. It's a cartoonish film like Scarface, and seems liked the most by those sheltered and dumb enough to think Scarface was realistic. If you're going to pretend to be realistic and "gritty" stick to believable storylines. It would be incredibly dumb of any cartel to risk the same thing happening. And remember that in real life, Reagan devoted hundreds of agents and tens of millions and even the US military to smashing a cartel that killed a federal agent. Try a roadblock, try a staged accident, just shoot out their tires.

There's a dozen ways anyone can think of to free the detainees without killing two federal agents. It'd kill the same detainees they were trying to free, idiots. The killing of two BP agents delivering detainees, using a wire strung across the road wasn't horrifying at all because it was also just as unbelievable.
And the cartel only sends two guys to kidnap him, and the ex agent doesn't try to use his weapons to fight back? Right. I laughed out loud at how ridiculous it was. But the ex agent just accepts it passively. The cartel pilot didn't use a weapon, only changes course. This supposed street and border smart experienced agent also does nothing, including with the weapons he's carrying, when a low flying pilot he's paid to sneak him back into the US instead delivers him to the cartel. And this agent doesn't speak Spanish? I've also never seen a federal agent so fat and out of shape. Then to get more ridiculous, the new husband doesn't hide with them and is dumb enough to get himself kidnapped and killed. A retired Border Patrol agent who never thinks to put his family into witness protection? Instead he has the new husband of his ex wife send them to Canada.
