I really liked it from the start. Loved the fact that this was a true story, that tends to get me more invested. I also loved the narrating, I like that format for some reason. I am on episode 5 and still think it is great. The fact that so much of this is in Spanish means I have to pay attention to read the subtitles so I don't find myself looking at my phone like I tend to do during other shows even if I like them.

I do wonder how much potential this has to continue, though. Not sure where season 1 ends but at some point they will run out of material or they will have to go off in a totally new direction and go fictional which will probably not work as well.

I just finished it. Spoiler? There just has to be a S2.

Pretty solid show, though I did get a little bored in some places (of course I did binge watch it). Mostly with Steve's wife. Her acting was bad and annoying. Also didn't like the American Ambassador or the military guy that works in the Embassy.

Think Wagner Moura nailed Pablo. His acting is great (although I've read his accent is way off, but I don't speak Spanish so I can't tell...and he apparently learned Spanish is 6 months for this role).

If you guys haven't seen Elite Squad I & II, you should definitely check 'em out. Same director with Wagner as lead. Badass movies.

They may go the way of true detective & American horror story? New cast and location of a legit story, but same title.
