Storylines

[edit]

Original series (2013–2018)

[edit]

Season 1

[edit]

In season one, El Chema appears during a business that El Cabo and El Tijeras were doing with El Topo Galván.

Season 2

[edit]

José María Venegas was born in Arizona, in a small shack while his parents were trying to cross the border. Son of an American mother and a Mexican father, not only grew marked by the influence of the two cultures, but also by the paranoia and the cunning of those who pass it crossing from one side to the other of the most watched border in the world. Over time, the legend of "Chema" was growing in a meteoric way to associate with the capos of distribution in the United States, particularly with Randy and his American white-collar cartel of lawyers and financiers, for which he operated.
