El Presidente S02e04 X265

The narrative intercuts between the FIFA boardroom and the luxurious Hotel Baur au Lac. This is the centerpiece of the episode. The direction here is sleek and suspenseful. We see the FBI and Swiss police coordinating the raid that would arrest several high-ranking FIFA officials.

By the time Season 2, Episode 4 arrives, the series has firmly established the transfer of power (and corruption) from CONMEBOL to the highest echelons of FIFA in Zurich. The season focuses on the clash between two egos: the aging, untouchable godfather of football, (played with slippery brilliance by Karra Elejalde), and the opportunistic, chaotic Sergio Jadue (Juan Carlos Maldonado), who has now become a key informant for the FBI. el presidente s02e04 x265
