Hell yeah, prison riots! Sign me up! This sounds like a wild watching experience, perfect for a weekend binge. I love how the lawyer gets thrown right into the fire. "Either you're with us or you're dead?" Brutal choice. I wonder how he survives. And 20+ inmates escape? This is gonna be intense.

Corruption in prisons is a huge issue, and this sounds like it exposes it head-on. But I hope they handle it with sensitivity. Prisoners are people too, and these riots are often rooted in desperation and a lack of basic rights. I'm curious to see how the lawyer navigates the situation and if the series advocates for reform.

Diego Calva is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. Loved him in "Babylon" and "Narcos: Mexico" (even with the historical liberties). Can't wait to see him take the lead here. Hopefully, this role gives him more room to shine. And a Mexican production filmed in Mexico? That's refreshing. So tired of Hollywood's take on everything.

Interesting that they're basing this on the Ciudad Juarez riot. That was a big deal in 2023. I remember reading about the escapes and the violence. Wonder how much creative license they'll take. Hopefully, they consult with people who were actually there to ensure some historical accuracy. It could be a great way to learn more about the Mexican prison system.

Six episodes? Perfect length for a quick binge! Love that it's coming out in February, something to look forward to after the holiday slump. The trailer looks intense, and the "with us or dead" line is chilling. I can already tell I'm going to be on the edge of my seat the whole time. Just hope the ending is satisfying.

This has potential, but the execution is key. The lawyer's situation is a compelling hook, but they need to develop the characters and the prison dynamics believably. Also, the corruption angle can be heavy-handed if not handled well. I'll give it a shot, but if it falls into predictable tropes, I might not finish it.

Ooh, this sounds like something my friends would be into. Action, drama, and a true story? Gotta add it to the queue! Maybe we can have a watch party and discuss it afterwards. Love that Netflix is offering more international content. It's great to see stories from different parts of the world.
