The first season that consists of five episodes premiered on 27 July 2017 on Cine Latino, and aired every Sunday at 11:00 p.m.[2][3] The season tells the origins of Adrián, born in a family of drug traffickers from a town in Sinaloa, Mexico.[3] It also tells about the murder of beauty queen Susana Flores, winner of the Miss Sinaloa contest in 2012,[3] and also makes references to the meetings of actress Kate del Castillo with El Chapo.[3]

The second season, which consists of 8 episodes premiered on 17 March 2019.[4] While the first season was inspired by the lives of El Cholo, El Chapo and the Sinaloa cartel,[4] the second season is totally fictional,[4] although it is inspired by the daily reality that thousands of people live through the drug trafficking business.[4]
