Critics

Audience

After a body is discovered on the bridge linking El Paso and Juarez, an El Paso detective and a Chihuahua State Police detective must work together across borders. Their investigation unfolds amid crime, corruption, trafficking, and stark cultural tensions, while their contrasting personalities make cooperation increasingly difficult.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like gritty, mature crime dramas with cross-border tension and layered investigations, though fans of The Fall or Cardinal should know it can become uneven; Not for you if you prefer realistic, tightly focused storytelling.
