This chapter focuses on the contemporary US prestige television shows that feature drug trafficking Better Call Saul (2015–2022) and Narcos Mexico (2018–2021). It argues that while the portrayal of “tragic Latino” characters may undermine the Latino Threat Narrative to an extent, the tragic elements of the arcs of characters, understood as the inability to survive the movement through transnational patriarchies, still figuratively represent the incapacity of the Anglo-American US imaginary to accept or incorporate Latinidad, to imagine an end to the War on Drugs, or to conceive of an alternative economic order to that of capitalism.
