You're an American living in a state that borders Mexico, populated heavily with Mexican diaspora and you don't know this? :conf:

The Mexican Ambassador did.

However the show is broadcast on BBC Entertainment which can be viewed in Central and South America. Though it will be a while before it airs, if that show does ever air, over there.

Well I must say, they cook up the tastiest vomit.
