Plot
[edit]The plot revolves around the murder of Mexico's president, Diego Nava Martinez (Erik Hayser). On the night of his death, he attacks his wife, Emilia Urquiza (Kate del Castillo), in an abusive rage. The two struggle, and Emilia is eventually knocked unconscious. She wakes up to find that Diego is dead, his bloody body cast off the balcony of their hotel room. A gun she aimed at him in the midst of their encounter is in her hand, even though she had left it in the bedroom. This leads her to believe that someone else came into the room to kill Diego, then set her up to take the fall. So, she flees from the police.

is a Mexican political drama television series that premiered on Netflix on March 24, 2017, starring Kate del Castillo as Emilia Urquiza, the First Lady of Mexico.[1][2] The plot centers on Urquiza's transformation into a fugitive after the apparent suicide of her husband, President Diego Nava, amid revelations of her infidelity and subsequent discovery of a broader conspiracy implicating high-level corruption and institutional betrayal within the Mexican government.[2][3] Spanning two seasons through 2018, the series blends thriller elements with critiques of political elitism and power dynamics, drawing from real-world Mexican governance challenges without direct historical parallels.[4][5] It garnered a 7.0 rating on IMDb from over 3,600 users and an 86% critics' score for its first season on Rotten Tomatoes, noted for del Castillo's performance despite production hurdles tied to her prior real-life controversies.[2][6]
Premise
Synopsis
Ingobernable is a Mexican political drama series centered on Emilia Urquiza, portrayed as the First Lady of Mexico, a figure driven by strong personal convictions and ideals. The narrative unfolds as she confronts profound disillusionment with her husband, President Diego Nava, amid revelations of governmental corruption and personal betrayal, culminating in a shocking incident that upends her life and positions her as a fugitive seeking to expose underlying truths.[1][7] Throughout the series, Urquiza navigates a perilous landscape of political intrigue, evading authorities while allying with unlikely supporters in Mexico City's underbelly, including elements from marginalized communities, to challenge the power structures implicated in her predicament. The story spans two seasons, extending her quest for justice into broader confrontations with institutional deceit and societal divisions.[8][9]Development and Production
Conception and Writing
Ingobernable was created by Mexican producers Epigmenio Ibarra, Verónica Velasco, and Natasha Ybarra-Klor, with Argos Comunicación as the production company.[10][11] Ibarra and Velasco also served as executive producers, while Ybarra-Klor functioned as the primary scriptwriter and co-producer.[11] The series' conception centered on portraying the clash between personal ideals and institutional power, emphasizing themes of female agency and the breakdown of authority structures.[11] Ibarra articulated the core motivation as envisioning a world improved by more "ungovernable" women who resist conformity, particularly in response to prevailing social and political "darkness and hatred."[11] This approach interrogated the conventional roles of Mexico's first ladies, framing the narrative to encourage layered interpretations of women's influence in governance without overt didacticism.[11] Development as Netflix's second original Mexican production followed the platform's expansion into Spanish-language content, building on Argos' prior collaborations with Mexican broadcasters since the 1990s.[10][11] The writing process incorporated contemporary Mexican political tensions, such as elite corruption and institutional distrust, to underscore dissatisfaction with leadership without direct emulation of specific real-world events.[4]Filming and Technical Aspects
Principal photography for the first season of Ingobernable occurred from June to September 2016.[12] Due to lead actress Kate del Castillo's inability to travel to Mexico amid investigations into her 2015 meeting with drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, her scenes were filmed in San Diego, California, while other cast members shot in Mexico City.[13] [14] Production adapted by filming actors separately across the U.S.-Mexico border and employing body doubles for del Castillo's character in Mexican locations, with post-production editing to integrate footage.[2] Cinematography for select episodes was handled by Juan Pablo Ojeda.[15] The second season's production shifted primarily to Mexico City under producer Argos, announced for release in 2018, reflecting resolved logistical constraints from the prior season.[16] Finishing services, including color grading and visual effects, were provided by Cinematic Media in Mexico City.[17] Miguel de la Cruz served as cinematographer for both seasons, contributing to the series' visual style amid cross-border challenges.[18] Sound design and re-recording mixing were led by Daniel Torres across 27 episodes, ensuring cohesive audio integration despite divided filming locations.[15] No specific camera equipment details were publicly disclosed, though the production relied on standard high-definition digital workflows typical for Netflix originals during this period.[19]Cast and Characters
Lead Roles
Kate del Castillo stars as Emilia Urquiza, the First Lady of Mexico, a advocate for social reform who files for divorce from her husband amid growing disillusionment with his administration, only to become a fugitive after his assassination.[10][20][21] Erik Hayser portrays Diego Nava Martínez, the President of Mexico and Emilia's estranged husband, whose leadership involves navigating political corruption and power struggles central to the series' plot.[10][21][22] Eréndira Ibarra plays Ana Vargas-West, the Chief of Staff in the President's office, who maintains close ties to the administration while entangled in personal and professional conflicts.[21][15] Alberto Guerra embodies Canek Lagos, a resourceful young man from a self-sustaining anarchist community who becomes Emilia's ally during her evasion of authorities.[15][23]Supporting Roles
Eréndira Ibarra portrays Ana Vargas-West, the chief of staff to President Diego Nava, depicted as a shrewd political operative navigating the intricacies of power in the Mexican government.[21][15] Alberto Guerra plays Canek Lagos, a proficient hacker affiliated with an underground activist network, who provides technical expertise and ideological support amid the series' central conflicts.[15][1] Álvaro Guerrero embodies General Bruno Almada, a high-ranking military officer whose actions influence national security operations and intersect with the presidential administration's decisions.[1][23] Tamara Mazarrasa appears as Zyan Torres, a member of the activist circle linked to Canek, contributing to the group's subversive efforts against institutional corruption.[23][15] Pati Lauren depicts Chela Lagos, Canek's mother, who offers familial grounding and occasional shelter within the activist safehouses.[15] Luis Roberto Guzmán stars as Román López, a seasoned operative involved in intelligence and enforcement activities tied to the protagonists' pursuits.[1]Episodes
Season 1 (2017)
Season 1 of Ingobernable comprises 13 episodes and explores the political intrigue surrounding the death of Mexico's president, Diego Nava, and the subsequent framing of his wife, First Lady Emilia Urquiza, for the crime.[1] Released in its entirety on Netflix on March 24, 2017, the season depicts Urquiza's transformation from a disillusioned public figure to a fugitive seeking evidence of a broader conspiracy involving government corruption, drug cartels, and institutional betrayal.[24] Central to the narrative is Urquiza's alliance with Canek, a young indigenous activist, as she navigates underground networks while evading capture by federal authorities led by Chief of Staff Romani.[1] The storyline begins with a domestic confrontation between Urquiza and Nava over his infidelity and policy compromises, culminating in his fatal fall from a balcony, which authorities quickly attribute to her.[25] As Urquiza goes into hiding, subplots reveal tensions within her family, including her daughter's romantic entanglements and her son's vulnerability, alongside investigations into Nava's dealings with international figures and domestic power brokers.[25] The season builds toward revelations about manipulated evidence and hidden alliances, emphasizing themes of institutional distrust without resolving the central mystery.[5]| No. | Title (English) | Original Title | Original Release Date |

Season 2 (2018)
The second season of Ingobernable, comprising 12 episodes, premiered globally on Netflix on September 14, 2018.[1] [29] It directly continues from the first season's conclusion, with protagonist Emilia Urquiza (Kate del Castillo) captured by Mexican authorities in Mexico City and subjected to torture to extract a confession for assassinating her husband, former President Diego Nava.[30] [31] Rather than succumbing, Emilia evolves into a revolutionary figure, allying with grassroots activists in Tepito to challenge entrenched corruption, drug trafficking networks led by a powerful empress, and political manipulation during an impending presidential election.[32] [33] The narrative intertwines Emilia's efforts to reunite with her daughter María and clear her name with subplots involving her ally Canek Lagos's grief-driven radicalism, aide Ana Dávila's infiltration of government circles, and broader unrest exposing systemic elite control over media and security forces.[34] [35] Key developments include Emilia's strategic escapes and alliances, such as targeting financial institutions for evidence and manipulating electoral candidates, while facing betrayals from figures like Secretary of the Interior Román Fernández and U.S. influences.[33] [36] The season emphasizes causal chains of political violence, with Emilia's actions sparking riots and exposing fabricated narratives around Nava's death, culminating in high-stakes confrontations that question institutional legitimacy without resolving all threads.[30] [32]| Episode | Title |

Release and Distribution
Premiere and Seasons
Ingobernable premiered globally on Netflix on March 24, 2017, marking the streaming service's second original production from Mexico following Club de Cuervos.[10] [24] The first season consisted of 15 episodes, released simultaneously for binge-watching in line with Netflix's model.[38] Netflix renewed the series for a second season, which was made available worldwide on September 14, 2018, comprising 12 episodes.[39] The production did not proceed beyond this point, with Netflix opting not to commission a third season despite initial speculation around 2019.[40] [41] In total, Ingobernable spanned two seasons and 27 episodes before concluding.[1]International Reach
Ingobernable, released as a Netflix original series, achieved global distribution through the streaming platform's worldwide availability starting with its premiere on March 24, 2017.[1] This simultaneous release model enabled immediate access in over 190 countries, bypassing traditional territorial broadcasting limitations common in Latin American productions.[42] To facilitate international viewership, the series was provided in its original Spanish audio with subtitles in languages such as English, French, and Chinese, alongside an English-dubbed version, enhancing accessibility for non-Spanish-speaking audiences.[43] Netflix marketed Ingobernable as a successor to Narcos in appealing to global interest in Spanish-language content, positioning it as the platform's second major Latino-themed success beyond regional borders.[44] In the United States, the series garnered notable traction among Latino communities, ranking as one of the most-watched Netflix shows in Texas during 2017, where the state's nearly 11 million Latino residents drove demand.[45] Audience demand metrics from Parrot Analytics indicated U.S. demand at 0.4 times the average for TV series in subsequent years, reflecting sustained but modest international engagement post-launch.[46] Comparative data showed varying "travelability"—a measure of exported demand—with 9% relative to the UK market and 31% to India, underscoring uneven but present global appeal outside Latin America.[47][48]Reception
Critical Reviews
Critics gave Ingobernable mixed to positive reviews, with Season 1 earning an 86% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 11 reviews, reflecting appreciation for its political thriller elements and Kate del Castillo's performance despite limited sample size.[6] Season 2 received more criticism for narrative inconsistencies and weaker execution.[49] Mike Hale of The New York Times praised the series' strong opening sequence, likening it to Designated Survivor, and del Castillo's star appeal for Latino audiences, but faulted its slow doling out of secrets, lack of early context for the protagonist's flight, and initial reliance on woman-in-jeopardy tropes without deeper development until the third episode.[50] He described the plot as lively yet requiring viewer patience amid a fictional Mexican presidency in turmoil. Mexican critics offered varied assessments. Álvaro Cueva in Milenio deemed Season 2 deeply disappointing, citing convoluted plotting and failure to sustain Season 1's momentum.[49] An Animal Político analysis noted uneven acting—some strong, others exaggerated—and questioned del Castillo's casting given her real-life controversies, while acknowledging the series' bold tackling of corruption and government complicity in events like the 2014 Ayotzinapa disappearances.[51] Filmaffinity professional reviews highlighted clichés and slow starts but recognized potential as more than a basic thriller by mid-season.[52] Common Sense Media assigned a 3-out-of-5-star rating, commending the cliffhanger-driven suspense and portrayal of Mexican political intrigue for mature viewers, but critiquing its heavy violence, sexual content, and formulaic escapes from systemic corruption.[5] Overall, reviewers valued the series' unflinching look at power dynamics and real-world parallels, though pacing and character depth drew consistent reservations across outlets.Audience and Commercial Performance
Ingobernable experienced moderate audience engagement, particularly in Mexico, where Parrot Analytics measured its demand at 1.3 times that of the average television series based on recent data reflecting sustained interest.[53] In the United States, however, demand lagged at 0.4 times the average, indicating limited appeal outside Latin American markets.[46] The series ranked ninth among digital original programs in Mexico for audience demand during its active period, trailing higher-profile Netflix titles like Club de Cuervos.[54] User-generated metrics underscored a solid but not exceptional reception, with an IMDb rating of 7.0 out of 10 from 3,631 votes as of recent tallies.[2] Internationally, a notable Anglo-Saxon viewership emerged, with 78% of audiences consuming dubbed versions compared to 22% subtitled, suggesting broader accessibility drove cross-cultural uptake.[55] Commercially, the first season's performance prompted Netflix to renew the series for a second installment in 2018, signaling sufficient viewership to justify continued investment amid the platform's expansion of Mexican originals.[56] A third season was initially greenlit but ultimately canceled, likely due to production scheduling conflicts involving lead actress Kate del Castillo.[56] Overall, Ingobernable contributed to Netflix's strategy in Latin America, where subscriber growth reached approximately 5.5 million in Mexico by 2016, though specific attribution to the series remains unquantified by the streamer.[57]Awards and Nominations
Ingobernable received two notable nominations in 2018 but no wins.[58] At the 29th GLAAD Media Awards, the series was nominated for Outstanding Scripted Television Series in a Spanish Language, recognizing its portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes within a political drama framework.[59] Kate del Castillo earned a nomination for Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV Series at the 5th Platino Awards for Ibero-American Cinema, for her lead role as Emilia Urquiza, amid competition from performers in Spanish-language productions like El Ministerio del Tiempo and Las Chicas del Cable.[60]| Award | Year | Category | Recipient(s) | Result |
