I was initially under the impression that I was watching the original but soon found I was watching the American counterpart. Still good and poignant I had severe doubts giving the fact that it has to do with the Mexican-American border and mainstream Hollywood has a tendency to white-wash roles and the general writing but aside from one or two instances the characters who spoke Spanish were actually Spanish speaking and it succeeded in humanizing rather than demonize it's subject matter. My only true qualm about this show is that it's main character is supposedly autistic and that fact became less and less as a believable thing. Not to say I'm a professional when it comes to autism but she certainly became much more involved and active in her relationships as the season went along. Though that and the strange editing in-between seasons (Season 2 was more like season 1.5 plus 'half a season) this a really good show I stumbled upon by mistake
7.38/10.
