Review of Tijuana

Tijuana (2019)
5/10
Honest review from a Mexican citizen
4 July 2019
A team of reporters from a Tijuana newspaper investigates the murder of a candidate for governor emerged from the working class. Who benefits from his death? The premise makes for a great series. Unfortunately, "Tijuana" remains a promise for the viewer, as a result of a bad script. It is frankly difficult to feel affection for any of the characters, which go from the anodyne (Lesbian photographer) to the stupid (the Editor's son). Even Demian Alcázar, an experienced actor, is unconvincing and, in my view, a casting error. Maybe the only ones who play it well are Mueller (Rodrigo Abed, who is repulsive, but that's the way he's supposed to be), and Tamara Vallarta. On the positive side, cinematography, which includes aerial shots, is good. A pity. "Tijuana" could have been much better.
