Home and Away in a Cartel Setting
15 November 2019
To be fair I watched 2 episodes before I lost interest.

The show is creative take on our protagonist being a Japan raised Mexican , who is played by a Mexican version of Guy Pearce, who gets involved in the cartel business from a position of a share broker director company.

The settings, costumer and actors are nice enough looking and the show is an easy watch with a lot of drama based on the premise that our protagonist is a very confident and smart guy who I assume takes over and expands the family cartel business through wit (rather than violence).

The main character acts his part well enough though I feel ultimately the punchline of his witty schemes don't really deliver as in say Peaky Blinders. I can't help but feel the thoughts of B grade and made for the aesthetics akin to popular Kdrama resonate with me as I watched and would think the show would be enjoyed by people who like that genre and more by a female than male audience. (there's drama more for the sake of drama rather than thought provoking drama)

However at the end of the day I neither felt intellectually or emotionally simulated enough to continue watching the series.
