The TVI Take
The Guadalajara cartel's rise in Mexico in the 1980s. Stronger than Narcos in narrative construction and historical specificity.
Educational about the DEA's Mexico operations, the origins of today's cartel structure, and the Camarena murder. The Diego Luna performance anchors the series.
