El Presidente S01e02 Bd25 [best]

The supporting cast shines here, particularly the portrayal of the US-based co-conspirators. The episode juxtaposes the gritty, almost grey atmosphere of South American football politics with the sleek, sanitized, yet equally morally bankrupt atmosphere of the American Dream. The FBI investigation, a parallel plotline, begins to gain traction here, turning the episode into a ticking clock. The audience knows the hammer is coming down, which makes Jadue’s eager participation in the fraud all the more pitiable.
