The TV series for the weekend: «Pancho Villa», «A Spy among Us» and «Special Operation: Lioness»

Pancho Villa, born José Doroteo Arango Arámbula, was many things together: landowner and governor, bandit and guerrilla, revolutionary and general. Pancho Villa: the Centaur of the North, which landed on Disney+ a couple of days ago, reconstructs the epic story of one of the most famous Mexicans in history in ten half-hour episodes. Shot entirely in Jalisco, the series starts from the caudillo’s adolescence to retrace the events that led him to become the leader of the revolutionaries. «An action and war series» explains the director Rafa Lara «that explores the contrasts of the protagonist: cruelty, but also the luminous part of him». Pancho Villa: the Centaur of the North arrives on the screen in conjunction with the centenary of his assassinationwhich occurred on July 20, 1923 in an ambush.
