i would totally watch this, but i am not sure my spanish is good enuff to keep up.

you'll never know until you try! there's always closed captioning. also watching an awesome tv show is a great way to practice listening.

i'm a little worried it'll get cartoonish, but so far the tone is really super serious. i love this show.

actor looks a bit like a Latino Stevie from Eastbound and Down, especially with that striped polo shirt.

The meetings on this show are incredible.

My friend's stepfather is (or was) in witness protection and was an accountant for the Medellín cartel in the early 80s. I've only met the guy a handful of times, but it's pretty crazy.

did you ask him to call you maybe?

this show continues to be great btw. i like how he always asks his mom for advice, and she told him that going into politics is...risky and he was like "u gonna be SO PROUD OF ME, MAMA" /cut scene
