I'm Mexican from northern cali and my wife is white raised in mn. We had 2 different upbringings and we both thoroughly enjoyed the show! I heard about it from our 15 year old son who heard about it from friends ar school. So we all watched! It reminds me of a Mexican boyz in tha hood. I like that there is a focus on the gang culture for both Mexicans and blacks. It does resonate with me however so does the teenage mindset. Very entertaining and these youngsters are awesome actors! We are waiting for season 3!
