- Quotes
A.D.A. Rafael Barba: [to Amaro] I am not cutting Munoz a break just because he's my friend.
Nick Amaro: No, I get that. It's not about friendship. It's about you. You're afraid to go after Munoz because while he stayed in the hood, in el barrio and played man of the people, you went off to Harvard and pretended you were one of the gringuitos.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba: I know where I come from.
Nick Amaro: Yeah, so does Munoz and he's playing you, mi socio, and making you feel like a sellout. Un arrepentido.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba: Thank you so much for the bodega psychoanalysis, detective. Compay? No te equivoque conmigo.

Barba mesmerizes the eyes with his performance. He rises to the top with anyone who has a stage. Especially their encounters with Alex are full of stone scenes. His arguments with his Cuban countryman Amaro, whom he confronts because of his friendship with him, are terrific.
We follow the story of three neighborhood friends who grew up with Latin American language and culture in a Latin American neighborhood. From childhood to youth, they protected and looked after each other. They become a kind of shield for everyone in the neighborhood. Barba, Alex and Eddie are the three closest childhood friends who grew up together as shields.
When they grew up and left their neighborhoods, each of them came to different places. He has made Alex, whose shield powers are great, a force targeting statesmanship in politics. Barba became the state's prosecutor, equivalent to his shield power. Obviously, a movie or series emerges from this topic.
However, a "zipper problem" in the shadow of politics will bring these two blood brothers against each other.
Barba's best friend's wife, whom he lost while in love, will further fuel the problem. Eddie, who could not leave the neighborhood brotherhood and his neighborhood and could not leave Alex's shadow, will solve the problem.
Women harassed by messages in the mountains of politics and men's brotherhood are not considered very important. Unfortunately, the women in this story think so too. Father thinks so too. Women and fathers have their own logical reasons.
It is a very good article on what brotherhood means and what it is not.
