The story

The misadventures of Lieutenant Harina and his partner, Officer Ramírez, a very special police couple, who find themselves with the opportunity of a lifetime

What it’s like

Loose, comic crime energy set in Mexico City, with the rhythm of a buddy caper: a police station full of bickering, a chase through the city, and a bent-cop undercurrent that keeps the mood slightly cynical. The comedy sits on top of darker material, including drug trafficking, a serial killer thread and social-media fame, so the tone shifts between goofy and grim. The people at its centre are a mismatched duo whose partnership is funnier than their competence, and the arc follows them fumbling into a big opportunity. Expect the criminal violence typical of police action; the metadata doesn't say how graphic it gets, so a gentler viewer should check first. It suits a lazy weekend binge or a night when you want something irreverent rather than prestige-slow, and it's aimed at fans of Latin American crime comedy who like their jokes with a body count nearby.
