The production team did excellent research of Mexican politics, history and locations. Those familiar with Mexico and specially Mexico City will appreciate their work. El Candidato has an overview that is very realistic of lives of Mexico City residents (Chilangos); from the domestic helper, to those who work odd jobs for the weathy, to the weathy (fresas) and their complicated lifestyles is all very realistic. From the rough streets of Mexico City's Tepito market neighborhood to the mansions of high end neighborhoods such as Lomas de Chapultepec, the scenery that is Mexico City was portrait as is. Not sure how many Mexicans will view their depiction in the same eyea as it is my experience that most Latin Americans do not like to see our lives recorded publicly. The US Mexico relationship is also well presented and true to love hate between the US Mexican relations. Yes the story build in this series was very good too.
