Coyote

It seems like trolling TV has replaced watching it as America's favorite pass-time. This show has so much to offer - just turn it on. I just started it to check it out, and before I knew it - I was at the end of episode 2! This show is excellently paced, with action, heart, and wry comedy throughout. It's also a rarity on American TV these days: a nuanced, human portrayal of a complex, divisive issue. Is it perfect? No, but its excellent performances give voice to many perspectives and start a real conversation. The show is a star vehicle for newcomers Emy Mena and George Pullar, introduces otherwise ignorant American audiences to Mexican and Colombian stars like Adriana Paz and Juan Pablo Raba, and of course, Michael Chiklis continues to cement his legacy as one of TV's best.

The shows has some inconsistent moments, but episode 5 is one of the best episodes of TV I've seen in a while, and the show ultimately sets itself up for a fantastic season 2. Did you like Fauda? Watch this show. Did you like Breaking Bad? Watch this show. If you're looking for six episodes of thoughtful high-quality premium television, then just watch the show.

Great show! Awesome to see Michael Chiklis back on television again. I just wish the season was a little longer. I knocked out every episode in one night. I'm definitely looking forward to season 2. Thankfully this was a great distraction from all the stuff going on in politics at the moment. 7 stars

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.

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.
