los zetas, a criminal organisation that sprang up in the 1990s as an armed branch of the gulf cartel, created and popularised various plaza strategies. first, it professionalised the use of violence. it organised its main base of mexican army deserters, some of them u. s. - trained elite forces, into special units able to seize commercial opportunities along drugs and arms smuggling routes. above all, during president calderón’s “war” on drugs, it engaged in any illegal activity that provided the revenue necessary to maintain operations in particular territories. los zetas ended up fragmenting into dozens of smaller groups, but their strategy was emulated by other criminal groups. imitators even adopted their name .

i usually don' t like telenovelas and soap operas. still, i accidentally bumped into this one and, to my surprise, i was extremely pleased with it, as it had two major qualities: excellent humor (the kind that you don' t get from soaps, telenovelas and this kind of series) and very well played. previously there have been some attempts to make a telenovela that features real humor, like
