The Matador TV Series: El Rey

[To Be Quite Honest]

Matador is an American television series co-created by Roberto Orci, Andrew Orci, Dan Dworkin and Jay Beattie. The series chronicles the rise of popular soccer star Antonio "Matador" Bravo, known for his ventures both on and off the field. Unbeknownst to the public and his family, he is also a skilled covert operative performing missions for a branch of the CIA.[1] The series premiered on July 15, 2014, on the newly launched channel El Rey.

In this scripted action series, Antonio "Matador" Bravo, a popular soccer star, has access to many public circles, which include corrupt ones such as those within his own team. Not only must he balance the dual roles of a public figure and player, but he must also maintain control of his true secret agent identity, the most dangerous mission of all.

Kind of fun open, I enjoyed some scenes a lot, but others really fell flat. I'm a big Robert Rodriguez fan and I hop it will mature a bit more because the characters are too one dimensional which is something Rodriguez does do. It's already renewed for a 2nd season so it must improve as the season progresses. It certainly doesn't take itself seriously at all and there is a lot of eye candy for both sexes.
