Belascoarán - Netflix Series


Belascoarán | Tráiler oficial | Netflix
Netflix Latinoamérica

Belascoarán is a short series, three episodes, about an engineer who kicks over the traces and decides to become an independent investigator. It's kind of a goof-ball, comic book style show. Great fun running around Mexico City fighting the forces of evil.


While investigating a serial killer, he picks up a stalker / client in the form of a girl who drives a Ford Maverick in stock car races. A Ford Maverick, that's a car I hadn't thought about since forever, and I certainly never thought of them as any kind of hot rod. I always thought of them as dumpy looking economy cars.

Mexican Shelby Ford Maverick

Evidently Mexico appreciated the Maverick a bit more, Carroll Shelby did a version for Mexico.

In the second episode, the bad guys have taken some radioactive steel waste that they were supposed to bury in the desert and are turning it into rebar to be used in building a children's hospital. Didn't find any references to it, and it's kind of weird, but not impossible.

In the third episode, Hector and his girlfriend are supposed to fly to Los Angeles for the weekend. He doesn't go, he has to stay and fight the bad guys. Irene flies to L. A. but comes home a day early and so escapes the crash of Western Airlines Flight 2605.
