Le cartel

I was surprised to read on Wikipedia that the show was cancelled just after 6 episodes. I wasn't too excited about watching it but from the first episode I managed to continue all 6 within the entire night.

I'm unhappy about the fact that it was underrated, but I got a good taste and sense of how Mexican cartels think and act just by seeing this show.

Viewers also see how the various operations across the continent is affected by the decisions of one organization; it was very unexpected to see in this show.

However, I hope in the near future they would continue filming this show for a continual and I'm sure it would succeed no matter what.

I watched ever episode and loved it. I love "Mafia" theme shows and movies. It was more realistic than most people would realize. I loved the cast choices. I think it had lots of potential for a series on TV. We need a primetime "Mafia" series again that is broadcasted on NBC, CBS, FOX or ABC (not HBO).

After years of only finding good dramas on HBO and Showtime, I'm finally watching network TV and enjoying it thanks to this show. The show is both well written and acted. Sheryl Lee is a pleasant surprise - I think I've only seen her before as Laura Palmer on Twin Peaks and had no idea she was so talented. Brian Benben's morally conflicted plastic surgeon is equally intriguing. This is one miniseries that definitely needs to return for a full season!

Does anyone with Santeria knowledge know the meaning behind Lupita mixing her blood with paint, and then painting her brothers face? This was at the end of the episode. Also, what is the significance of the three coins on the chain? Overall it was a boring episode, too much time spent develping Brian Benben's character, but hopefully it will heat up in the next episode. The lead actor, Yancey, is reason enough for me to watch...meow!

I agree with one of the other reviewers here - I actually REALLY enjoyed the whole show a lot and thought that Yancey Arias was terrific in his role - I think we will see a lot more from this young man!

But the last episode left me very unsatisfied. If this was SUPPOSED to be a 6 part mini series then the ending was one of the worst I have ever seen - if it's supposed to become a series - well then OK.

I also read yesterday that NBC "cancelled" Kingpin which obviously suggests that it was supposed to go on. I can't imagine why they would have canccelled it since I didn't meet a single person that I know who didn't think that this was an awesome show.
