Five-star script, three-star visuals. For the plot alone, it’s worth your time. Just don’t expect to read the fine print on those fake sponsorship contracts. Stream it for the history lesson, not the cinematography.

So why three and a half stars? Because I watched it in 480p.

El Presidente Season 1 (480p) – A gripping story, slightly out of focus.

★★★½ (out of 5)
