Yankee Season 1 Official Netflix HD Trailer
We've been watching Yankee, a series on Netflix about a gringo involved with Mexican drug cartels. It's not a great show, but fairly realistic, given that it's a TV series. My biggest complaint is the stupidity of some characters, especially Yankee, but then, it's probably realistic stupidity. These guys try to use their brain but, like all people, they run on emotion, which leads to all kinds of cock-ups, which usually ends with wholesale slaughter. So we get our action packed entertainment combined with a realistic view of the inter-gang warfare going on in Mexico.
In an episode we watched last night, some thugs doused a casino with gasoline and set it on fire, killing a bunch of people. This morning I see that someone in Japan has set a theater on fire and killed a bunch of people. Because Japan society is tightly wound, I suspect that incident was due to someone's inner animal escaping their constraints and not a deliberate act of war ordered by the leader of a gang.
P.S. While the trailer is all Spanish, on our screen, the Spanish comes with subtitles in English.
