Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed in Baja California, the show hired local Mexican crew and actors—rare authenticity for a US production about the border, which made its cancellation after one season sting even harder for representation advocates.
Creator David Graziano spent years as a Navy SEAL before writing; the show's military-patrol tension comes from lived knowledge of how institutions grind conscience into protocol.
