Coyote

I was wondering why this show had a lower rating than I'd expect. Then, I read the reviews. Can't we go 5 mins without bleating about the politics? Basically, the left thought it stereotyped race and the right though it normalised illegal immigration or some such rubbish. The rest of the low scores complained about the fact that the main character Ben couldn't speak Spanish (a fair point which is why I took off a point and settled for an 8).

Anyway, I found Coyote to be well paced with a nicely developing story that gets you quite interested in the characters. Although it's no Breaking Bad, I get the feeling that was where they were aiming.

So, I can thoroughly recommend this if you can leave your politics at the door and enjoy it for the fiction that it is.

Great first episode showing much promise and can't wait to watch the rest. I was kind of hoping that Neto was being played by Benito Martinez (Capt. Aceveda from the Shield), and he does have a passing resemblance, but sadly not.

Watched a couple of episodes and its not to bad

The one thing that bugs me though, is how he worked in border patrol for 32 years but he cant speak Spanish and can barely understand it,

This has been passed off as a complete first series by the streaming services, when it's actually a part of a series that was abruptly cancelled after the sixth episode. I fell for the fakeout and now wish I hadn't because this story will never be finished.

Been looking forward to a decent show with Michael Chicklis ever since The Shield has it's days. He's not as badass as I would have liked, but it's nice to see a well produced show with a somewhat decent story.
